T-Mobile Dash – is it a Motorola Q killer?

OK back to the CNET review (which also happens to be a video review mind you). Their rating was a positive 8.0 and the verdict was:
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.
That’s pretty darn good if you ask me. I don’t think it looks quite as nice as the Q but if it performs better than the Q, then I’d be all for it. Too bad there’s no Verizon Wireless equivalence to this device other than the Q at this time.
