In case you missed it, we posted the fist image of the upcoming HTC Excalibur on Monday. Now, Engadget brings up the first blurry picture of the device. This picture doesn't really do much for me. You're able to make out a T-Mobile theme and if you look closely, the backlight on the keys is blue. I can tell you that the "greater than QVGA" that Engadget is talking about is not true.



Moving onto the device specifications, PDAdb.net has posted an listing for the Excalibur. What's interesting is that they are using our leaked image for their listing. So I don't know how true these specs are. I hope they are because I like the 128MB ROM with 80 accessible to the user. It also lists Bluetooth, miniUSB connector, MicroSD expansion, and confirms the WiFi and Quad-band we already told you about.

See the Engadget story with the blurry picture here, and the PDAdb.Net listing with device specifications over here.

Ya know, it's the darnedest thing. When I look at this phone up close I feel like it has a strange fat look where the keys are. But when I look at my monitor from a slight distance, I think it looks like a neat phone. Weird. I thenk in the end, I'll be buying this one.

I think it has to do with the way the silver plate widens as is crosses the middle of the phone. The eye seems to take that as being wider even though the black doesn't change.

This might just be the convergent device I've been waiting for! If only the price is right. Smile

I sure hope it is really silver and not that metallic-ish-beige on the SDA.

And that the other sites are wrong about it having a 200Mhz TI OMAP processor. My HTC Typhoon has a 200Mhz TI OMAP CPU and I couldn't imagine buying a brand new phone with the same CPU as a several-year-old model.
