1/5 stars. Could be a great phone for a great price.
Would be 5/5 stars if it had more RAM, an android 4.3 update (from 4.2.1) and didn't kill apps on a whim.
I would gladly add money for more RAM and a better OS configuration.
Key pointers
The cons:
1. Can't multi-task e.g. when you switch between GPS app and phone app (make/answer a call), GPS app shuts down or if you try to call a number from a website, then try to return to the site to get the end of the number (no option to call on long click) then you have to reload site and reenter any user input you need to get to that page.
This is probably due to the system app MTK Thermal Manager, but I can't uninstall it to check since the phone isn't rooted. Also, if the limitation was just the RAM, then memory paging would do the trick.
2. The browsers (built in browser, Chrome and Firefox) both crash often, I assume this is due to RAM limitation, since even when I don't have anything but the system running I am left with only 40MB-60MB RAM available. Other apps (Waze, keyboard!) also crash often too.
3. Exchange sync misses meetings, I assume this is due to older Android version.
4. It is really hard to get the back cover off (to install battery, SIM and SD card).
The pros:
1. Call quality is great.
2. Camera quality is great.
3. Price.
4. Potentially dual SIM feature, although I haven't tested this yet.
Update:
I discovered the developer options (settings --> About phone --> click on build number (last item) multiple times) and tried increasing the number of background apps but that didn't help.
If anyone has any info regarding fixing the RAM issue (e.g. how to root and install swap, how to root and change GPU memory allocation) or fixing the multitasking issues, please comment.

Unlike the specs listed, this phone CANNOT connect to 802.11a networks; it has no 5ghz capability, so also cannot connect to 802.11n networks on that band. 2.4ghz only.

Contrary to the specs listed above, the phone does not have a gyro sensor. Also, while it does have a a magnetic field sensor (Bosch BMM050), Blu support says "At this time the Dash 4.5’s magnetic sensor does not work with any compass application." This has been my experience as well. Compass apps includes Google Sky Maps, which is dissappointing.

I got this phone three days ago. Until now the experience with it has been largely positive. The device feels sturdy although it's not very comfortable to hold due to the sharp edges. Screen looks amazing with vibrant colors albeit reduced angle view. Performance is really snappy and experienced no lag at all. Antutu benchmark score was a bit over 14000. Battery life is decent, it lasted for around 24 hours 4 of those on web browsing and 2 playing light games (Angry Birds, etc). It would probably last days in standby mode.
All in all this is an amazing device, extremely fast and lag-free, offering great features for an unbeatable low price, BUT the camera is CRAP. Although it's a 5 MP camera, pictures look as if they were shot with one of those old cellphones sporting a VGA camera: objects look blurry, especially far in the background, colors are inaccurate, pale and washed out and there's graininess overall. Also, flash is pretty weak. I don't know if I got a phone with a defective camera or it is a software issue but this discourages me from giving it 5 stars.

Could anyone help to understand if, D310a and D310i are two different phone models? or it represents 2 SIM specs with in one Blu-Dash 4.5 phone?
Thanks,
