3. T-Mobile Dash (aka HTC Excalibur)
Editors' rating: 8.0
The good: The T-Mobile Dash has a sleek design with a vibrant color screen and features integrated Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi, push e-mail capabilities, multimedia functions and a 1.3-megapixel camera. The quadband smart phone also has good call quality and extra long talk-time battery life.
The bad: The T-Mobile Dash's volume touch strip isn't always responsive. The camera interface is also confusing, and picture quality is subpar.
The bottom line: With a sleek design, good performance and a robust set of productivity and wireless options, the T-Mobile Dash is an all-in-one hit and earns its reputation as a Motorola Q killer.
