We've always been told not to look a gift horse in the mouth (whatever that means) so we're going to keep our mouths shut and just thank the good folks at T-Mobile for seeing fit to launch HTC's Q-munching Excalibur at all. Keep reading for a transcript of their "Selling Aid" cheat sheet for the Dash -- something tells us it'll pretty much sell itself, but kudos to T-Mob for making sure their peeps are properly informed!</i>"<br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/augusto-20060927-tmobile.dash.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />I was really excited for the HTC Excalibur/T-Mobile Dash but the recent lackluster feedback has me thinking twice about picking one up. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing me say it, but I don't think I could have handled the right handed JOGGR functions. I wish all of the handset manufacturers would make a couple left handed devices. We left handed individuals are starting to feel left out! :lol:

That's just around the corner! Awesome. 8) It has a beautiful screen, a great predictive type, quad band and wifi. You can't ask for much more.

None of these things should be "handed". They should be symmetrical.

i have been using one for the last 3 weeks and i love it. i actually like using the joggr when surfing the net or navigating through emails, but i find that when i use the phone i keep turning the volume down because of the jogger, so i have kept it off for the last 10 days and really dont miss it.

I was so excited when the Excalibur came out... What a great device... But I was always torn with the issue of applications.

Then came the HP iPAQ HW6940 and my 'issue' was resolved. Now I can run the applications I want and not feel like 'needing' more.

The Excalibur is awesome. Everything about it... I just wish they had a Pocket PC version...

No option to disable the joggr during calls, or a setting to disable control of the volume?

That's where I'm torn...if only they'd provide the Pocket Office apps for Smartphone... :(

There's been talk and about those for a while. I imagine they should show up at some point in the near future. We know that Micosoft has been working on it.

What are the dimensions for this thing?

Check out some of the comparision pictures that I posted the other day. It helps to give you a good idea of the size. Basically, it's the size of the old iPAQ 1910 device.

Does anyone know if this will be available in store on the 16th? Only 10 days away!!! :D

[cortez]

i was speaking with a buddy of mine who's a T-Mobile corp rep and he said the pricing is supposed to be announced on 10/11 and the device will be available on 10/16. T-Mo CSR told me the same thing...
