HTC Excalibur = US T-Mobile "Dash"?

We're not entirely sure under what means it was acquired, but a T-Mobile branded Excalibur showed up on MoDaCo's forums, and is apparently intended for US release under the listed codename Dash, which we assume refers to the touch-scroll on the right hand side. Expect a 200MHz OMAP, 128MB flash memory, 64MB RAM, and QVGA display (which we pretty much knew); we'll keep you apprised as to the launch status of this sucker.

Excellent blog! Very informative. You can get in depth detail about Vehicle Power Adapter.

200Mhz Omap.. yawn. Get out your over-clockers kids, HTC has done it again.

Looks like HTC has released info on the upcoming four new phones. Did you see that the HTC Europe subsite lists them? They seem to have moved back to a more conventional naming scheme.

Why?!?! I mean the moto q is seriously facing slowdowns on many people using that device because of its processor. I was so looking forward to intel xscale since I do heavy document use and excel use on my smartphone now when I need to look up numbers but hate the slow response on smartphones today. I guess only samsung i320 will win the likely speed and response test when reviewers will likely pit this device against the samsung i320 and motorola q. All I ask is for the performance of i320 and the looks of the excalibur, is that too much to ask for HTC? lol.

Notice the gap between the 5 way navigator and the screen? That 320x240 screen could easily be stretched out to a 320x320 touch screen. Add a faster processor and a better OS and I'm sold.

I'll take the longer battery life with 200 Mhz Omap. I just wish it had miniSD as opposed to Micro - I just got a 2 Gig for my T-Mobile MDA. Odds are the Dash is a go...HTC Rules!!
