HTC Excalibur


Could this device be my 2nd mobile? The HTC Excalibur aka O2 cosmo [Germany], HTC S620 [Europe], is a Windows Mobile Smartphone. It has Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, a 240 x 320 qVGA landscape display, QWERTY Keyboard, WiFi, BT with A2DP, microSD expansion and a JOGGR Strip. Dopod Asia Pacific is still to announce the Excalibur so I am still waiting. I can't say I'm in a hurry as I am still quite fond of my Universal [O2 XDA Exec variant with Dopod WWE ROM]. I wonder if getting this device would be advisable though as it lacks 3G which Globe and SMART are deploying [although I don't know how rapidly Globe is doing it's deployment, for a fact I know SMART has better coverage and rates ATM]. I also got myself a brand new 4Gb SD Card which will not fit the Excalibur... My Universal might permanently take my SMART pre-paid SIM and become my WEB and Media device. While the Excalibur can take up phone duties ideally, I do wonder if I can live without the VGA and touchscreen though.

Arne over at theunwired.net has spent some time with the Excalibur, he has great comparison shots, review, and even a review about the JOGGR strip.
