Home / Cell phones CTIA IT 2006: HTC Excalibur hands-on impressions By Ben Patterson, 14 September 2006 GALLERY Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Watch out, Motorola Q: HTC's thin and light, thumbboard-equipped smartphone is nipping at your heels. Check out our sneak peek. HTC's smartphones have a way of making us smile, and the Excalibur is no exception. This thin, rounded handset (now available on T-Mobile as the Dash; read our full review) feels almost velvety to the touch, and its slim and light enough to fit in a jeans pocket. The keypad was quite roomy given the size of the phone, and the bright LCD looked at least as good as the Q's display. Now for the features: quad-band GSM for world-phone capabilities, EDGE data access, Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition, Bluetooth, push e-mail, and -- best of all -- built-in Wi-Fi. Specifications Quad-band GSM; EDGE Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition Bluetooth Push e-mail Built-in Wi-Fi Price and availability The HTC Excalibur is available now on T-Mobile as the Dash (check out our full review).
