Need a MicroSD card?
Anybody need a 1GB MicroSD card?
If so and you are new to Google Checkout, you can get one for free in most states.
Details are here.
MicroSD cards fit quite a number of smartphones, including the HTC Mogul, TMobile Dash, and Palm Centro.

Damn, memory is cheap. MicroCenter is selling 2 GB jump drives for $13.99. No joke.
BTW, are you still enjoying the Dash? The trackball on my BB is broken and I'm considering going to a Windows Mobile Phone.

I do like the Dash. A lot. As Windows Mobile devices go, it's just very slick.
On the trip to Greece, I roamed seamlessly onto Greek and Turkish networks, and was NOT charged for data usage (surfing and gmail mobile). That was very handy, although it was at slow speeds (9.6k most places). T-Mob is rolling out their 3G network, but the Dash hardware doesn't support it, so data transfer will continue at dialup-like speeds on the Dash.
T-Mob can get a little pricey for what you get. A voice plan is going to run you 30-40 bucks, T-Mob internet is going to run you 20 bucks, and a bundle of text messages (if you need it) will run you another 5 bucks per month. The internet package includes T-Mobile Hotspot access too (Starbucks and other places), so if that's something you need/use, that makes the pricing better.
All that said, I recently made the switch to Sprint, for one of their SERO plans -- 30 bucks/month for 500 anytime mins, early nights/weekends (7pm), unlimited internet on their high speed 3G network, unlimited text messaging.
I started with an HTC Mogul (HTC makes the Dash also). It was a disaster, and I nearly bailed on Sprint because of it. Absolute kludge of a device. Thought about the Moto Q because it is similar to the Dash, but it's a bulky clumsy thing (and the newer version is WORSE). I finally talked Sprint into swapping me a Palm Centro for the Mogul (which had all sorts of tech problems that are well documented on SprintUsers and HowardForums). The Centro rocks! I'd forgotten how much I like Palm OS. It's much zippier than Windows Mobile. I don't have a clear favorite among the Dash or Centro (both are good devices), but Sprint's faster network and cheaper price via Sero makes the Centro package the winner for me.
The one thing I would warn about, though, is the Centro keyboard -- If you have thin, nimble fingers, the Centro's teeny keyboard is not a problem (I really like it). If not, you probably won't like the Centro (although you might like the bigger Palm devices).
If Sprint/SERO is an option (i.e. you're out of contract with your current carrier), I'd recommend considering it (email me for details -- I can get both of us a referral credit if you go that route). I would definitely try the Dash and the Centro in stores before committing to either, just to make sure the keyboards will suit you.

Any further questions, please email! I spend way too much time obsessing over this stuff. :)
