Engadget has posted their review of the T-Mobile Dash Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone slated to be released on October 16th.

It looks like the successor to the HTC Apache is in the works and will be released by UTStarcom as the 6800. It’s unclear if this is actually a CDMA version of the HTC Tytn or just an HTC Tytn in a different body. I’m thinking it will be CDMA. Also of interest, you might notice the keyboard slides open from the right side of the device rather than the left side as does the …
