HTC Excalibur Is T-Mobile Dash

Vincent Nguyen, Sep 18th 2006 Discuss [0]

Words cannot even begin to describe how awesome the HTC Excalibur feels in the palm of your hand, and watching videos only gets you there half way. You just need to hold it to understand why I’m giving the HTC Excalibur Best In Show at CTIA Wireless IT and Entertainment in LA 2006. I’ll elaborate more on this in a later article when I do a side-by-side comparison between the HTC Excalibur and Nokia’s E62 smartphone.

The HTC Excalibur is also known as the XDA Cosmo, available in Germany through O2 network. There are rumblings that T-Mobile will score the HTC Excalibur; called Dash. I confirm this report thanks to a shot I’d captured during my photo shoot at the show. Check out the screen shot below showing the T-Mobile logo. Also, thanks to a screen shot via MoDaCo, shows the Dash’s System Information revealing the model name as T-Mobile Dash. More after the jump!

Cingular 3125 Hands-On

Vincent Nguyen, Sep 15th 2006 Discuss [1]

I had a chance to test drive Cingular’s new 3125 (aka HTC Star Trek) earlier this week. It’s super thin, only slightly thicker, long and wider than the RAZR. Unlike the RAZR, it feels really nice in the palm of my hand, thanks to the seamless design and quality material used in the casing. It’s also a smartphone for all you Windows Mobile fanatics! It’s highly responsive to match the super bright screen. I anticipate a full review forthcoming weeks as we get this new device in. The Cingular 3125 is available for $299.99 or $149.99 with a two-year commitment. Click through for more images.
