T-Mobile Dash 3G Hardware Tour
The new T-Mobile Dash 3G’s hardware is very similar to the HTC Snap. It’s got the same Qualcomm MSM7225 processor running at 528MHz, Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, 256MB ROM, 192MB RAM, assisted GPS, WiFi b & g, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, USB 2.0, 1500mAh battery, 2.0MP camera and microSD expansion.
