RIM BlackBerry Curve vs. T-Mobile Dash (WM6)

By CNET Staff

JUDGES: Bonnie Cha, Kent German, and Nicole Lee

T-Mobile Dash

RIM BlackBerry Curve

The last time the T-Mobile Dash was in a prizefight, it ousted the Motorola Q as the champ of Windows Mobile smart phones. Since then, the Dash has pretty much stayed in the background, enjoying a loyal following among mobile professionals, and a "very good" user approval rating. However, that doesn't mean the Dash has been resting on its laurels. Just recently, T-Mobile beefed up the Dash by offering a Windows Mobile 6 software upgrade. So we thought, why not bring the smart phone back for another bout? Its competitor: the RIM BlackBerry Curve. As the newest kid on the block, the BlackBerry Curve is eager to go with fresh looks, revamped multimedia features, and some other enhancements. Who will come out swinging? Let's find out.

Let's keep it clean, fellas. Ding Ding!
