Dear -----------
Since launching the Dash Express in late March, we’re off to a great start! Every day we continue to grow the Dash Driver Network leading to better, more accurate traffic info to help you in your daily commute. To maintain this momentum and make the Dash Express affordable to even more customers, today we lowered the price of the device to $299.99.
We know that being an early technology adopter has its ups and downs, particularly when it comes to pricing fluctuation. We want you to know that we are so appreciative that you were one of our first customers. As a thank you for your early support, we are extending you an additional three months of free Dash service. This service extension will be given to all customers that purchased the Dash Express on or before May 31, 2008. The additional three months will be automatically added to your account. If you have already purchased a Dash service plan, it will go into effect at the end of the three month extension.
If you haven't done so already, please register at MyDash (my.dash.net). This is our customer portal where, in addition to using Send2Car to wirelessly send addresses to your car, you can also access all of the great community content created by other Dash drivers. This is also the place to find our cool new DashApps – weather info, garage sales, speed traps, Twitter – and more! Simply click on the Saved Search tab to browse the content library. And, by clicking on the Forums tab, you can connect directly with us and other customers.
If you have any questions or need support, please call us from 9:00am to 5:00pm PST on Monday through Friday at (877)-500-3274. You can also submit issues via the MyDash website at my.dash.net/support.

Jun 9th 2008 9:55PM @Ryan - With most new phones and plans you area allowed to cancel within the first 30 or 60 days of activation with ZERO early termination fee's (This would apply to new owners only) That gets you a Iphone for $199 :) (and it will probably be unlocked by then also :)

How would you change the Dash Express? {Engadget}
Apr 4th 2008 8:57PM I've been a tad disappointed with my dash thus far.
things that really annoy me about it are. (and will hopefully be mostly fixed with firmware updates)
1. No "detour/avoid" button (yes you can use the routes button to give you 3 new routes, however most of the time it just routes you slightly off from the original way. (you should be able to keep hitting it until you get new ones each time till you find one you like.
2. no blue tooth. I thought it had it when i purchased it, and was disappointed to find out it does not.
3. "saved searches have been updated" pops ups far too often for my liking, its kinda annoying (with no way to turn it off)
4. There's a lot of customization that could and hopefully be added in the future... colors, icons, deeper levels of tweaking settings (what is visible/enabled/ordered etc)
5. i would have preferred local Google as a search feature instead of yahoo
6. The default voice is annoying (hopefully they can add more functionality in the future.
*** I haven't experienced any problems with the tracking of the unit and putting my car on the right place of the map, its been working correctly for me
I have NOT had any crashes (loading is a tad slow for my tastes but its ok)
Sent to Car is by far the coolest and most useful feature for me, i love being able to highlight a address online and simply send it to my car.
All in all, im hopeful that they will work out more and more of thes bugs as they update their software. I understand that its a new product, but i see great potential for it, and i hope they continue to make it the best gps it can possibly be.
