Between those two I prefer the Dash. The SDA's keypad is annoyingly small.
I'd suggest the MDA but I've heard people are constantly having problems with
the touchscreen.

At this point I think the best overall device T-Mo makes that includes any
kind of real PDA-type functionality or Outlook integration is the Dash.

I have the SDA. It's good for a phone-sized device but if you're doing
heavy texting, a full keyboard would be better. I don't think the keypad
is annoyingly small but it would have been better with some kind of
surfacing on the keys so your fingers wouldn't slip off it.

That's a fair assessment. Maybe it's just that I have fat fingers.. ;)

I chose the SDA because I do most of my PIM text entry on the PC, and
because the Dash uses a propietary USB headphone jack. The SDA uses
the 2.5mm jack you find on other cellphones (and I already have a
stock of 2.5mm-->3.5mm adapters). I also read lots of stories about
broken Dash LCDs (do a search on Dash on ebay and see how many busted
ones are being sold).

SDA was also a free 'net-based unlock, if that means anything in your
case.
