excalibur

Windows Mobile is going to fill its line with the new HTC Excalibur. This device is HTC's most QWERTY  1.3 megapixel smartphone with the features like 128MB ROM, 64MB RAM, and quadband EDGE.

There is no information on when this device is going to be available but with the 3G-capabile Cavalier and Rogers' coming HSDPA network it should happen soon.

The featured packed HTC Excalibur has been approved by the FCC (ID NM8EXCA). The handset is being positioned to compete with the Motorola Q, but since it's GSM the competition will be limited until Motorola introduces new variants of the Q.

Features of the HTC Excalibur include:

• Quadband GSM
• QVGA screen
• WiFi/Bluetooth
• Windows Mobile Smartphone OS
• Unique touch-sensitive scroll pad on side

No carrier deals for the Excalibur have been announced, but there have been rumors pointing to both Cingular and T-Mobile.

Clear pictures and details today confirm earlier rumors about HTC's Excalibur, another QWERTY Windows Mobile Smartphone. The Excalibur, like the Q, will run the Smartphone OS with landscape QVGA screen and a QWERTY keyboard in a slim form factor. However the Excalibur will be a quad-band GSM/EDGE phone with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Like the Q, the Excalibur also features side navigation for one handed use, only instead of a jog dial, it possesses an innovative touch sensitive scroll pad with home and back keys.
