In this fast moving web 2.0 world an official press release often becomes an mere after thought in the wake of many prior leaks and sneak previews. Such might be the case with the T-Mobile Dash. This device has been widely previewed, anticipated and the specs are already out there. But now it’s official, from the source T-mobile itself.

Just to review, the T-Mobile Dash offers the following:

• Quad-band for global use cabablity
• Windows Mobile 5.0
• GSM,GPRS, EDGE, WiFi and blue tooth
• AOL, MSN and Yahoo! instant messaging
• email support
• 1.3 megapixel digital camera
• video capture
• expandable onboard memory

The Dash will have a suggested retail list price of $349 but of course that means nothing because being a T-Mobile phone, you will be purchasing it with one of their service plans. With a 1 year plan the price is $249 and with a 2 year plan the price goes down to $199.

$4000 to $17,000 for cell phone? Well maybe if it’s a gold plated Vertu Constellation phone. Yes I think it’s obscene, but at least it’s not as bad as throwing money into the fireplace. However to get a phone like this, you would have to be in the class that could afford to do that.
