We know, famous last words, but keyboard-havin' Smartphones always give us that special feeling, and HTC's Excalibur is no exception to the rule. With that all-important FCC approval under its belt, the handset should be making its way to T-Mobile in the coming months -- and since the GSM Q is still just a twinkle in Motorola's eye, this here's the next best thing."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060731-HTC-Excalibur.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />In my opinion, the Excalibur has the potential to be much better than the Q thanks to GSM, and WiFi. As you may already know, it's expected that T-Mobile will be releasing this. Typically releases happen a month or two after the FCC has approved the device.

Believe it or not, my wife has already asked me what I want for my upcoming birthday and Christmas. This little baby is going right to the top of my list :D

Does it have EDGE? If so, this may be the first Smartphone w/keypad I might get! If only the Treo 700W was in GSM+EDGE format :(

Hard to say for sure right now, but it's expected too.
