what phone to go to after the dash - HTC Excalibur

i really love the dash and was wondering if there are any phones coming out that'll be similar style but better? Especially if tmobile is rolling out with 3g soon.

do you have any idea how much they'll be around on like Ebay because the one on Ebay right now is over a G!!!!!!!!

so is everything else...get it in 6 months or a year...will drop like the touch cruise did

I switched to iPhone 3G on July 11. Love it.

Hey all, Check these out! These are the soon to be released Motorola Phones! The first two are totally portable and I think double as clubs in case your getting attacked. The last one is the new Bag Phone that you can actually use as carry on luggage for when you travel. And yes, I would take these over the new iphone 3g anyday.

If you compare specs the X1 is better than what HTC is coming out with.. its rumored that HTC even made the phone for Sony.. so hope that could be a sign that Sony might drop Ericsson and pic up HTC if the phone does well..

I would also think that since the phone was just released in EU... i think.
With an American release late Q4 or early 09 Q1.. I would think by the time that i think the dash is no longer useful, spring 09ish id say.. the price would drop..
Of course i haven't seen it yet but im not sure if the touch pro will work with tmobiles 3g.
Then again thats just me

all in all...
Well all in all if T-Mobile is gonna release the HTC Touch Pro And It Will Have 3G internet service then thats the phone i will be getting... only phone TMO offers with 3G right now is the blackberry perl.... and not looking to go from the dash to the perl there is no way... so im just gonna wait.

i was hoping for something similar to dash design. I like the keyboard right there and not having to slide the phone to get to the keyboard.

thinking of selling

i know it sounds crazy but im thinking of selling my dash
i figured id post on here to see if anyone was interested.
body is in good shape, might have a minor ding somewhere. screen has a protector on it, one of the static ones. screen protector has a few minor scratches on it, but that can be removed lol. has rickys wm 6.1 rom on it, i think my sig has the version of the rom i got on there.
if your interested send me a pm. i can post pictures sometime if needed.
it is branded t mobile. i can have it unlocked if requested.
also i can put it on e bay if one of you guys really want it.
I'm actually looking forward to an upgrade as well...
Why? To get a better processor, more memory, built in GPS, touchscreen and WM6.1 Pro. See Samsung i780.
Sorry, don't mean to threadjack...

honestly i just started a new job and i have been working a lot. so far this month two out of four weeks have been 40+ hours. i havent had a lot of time to text a lot or to surf the web a lot, especially at work, they dont like for us to even have our cell phones. so i want something a little more basic, and itll cut a few dollars off my bill.
My HTC S620 will be replaced next week as the iPhone has officially arrived in The Netherlands. I loved my S620 but it's time to move on.

here are some pics. the two of the bottom of the phone shows the dings the phone has, not very noticable from normal distance. then one of the keypad, cause its so nice lol. and one of the screen protector, its earned the money i paid for it.
Yep same with me. I need an upgrade but the Dash is one of the better phone in my opinion that are out there but I guess ill be leaving this forum because I have put my Dash on Ebay and have got bids so farewell!

Totally agree and it's not got alot of software available, no where near as tweaky, yes it has a touch screen but so does the Kaiser, that would be my choice if i had a chance of an upgrade and as NRG states it's a bit bah.
Second THAT
"F" the iphone. It is already out of date. Our Excaliburs whoop its ass. I like the idea of the Kaiser, if you just gotta have a touch, but the touch seems like a big waste, when you already have a superior phone NOW.

if you want a wing then go for it, good trade. but a wing is more bulky than the dash, and harder to access the keypad cause it is hidden.
i thought about getting a wing, had a mda abd it got too bulky for me, so i got the dash and i have loved it since. now im gonna sell it and try to cut back on my bill
I still don't know how you are gonna cut $$$$ off your bill since your dash still can do everything any other cell can.
Saving $$$$ can be done through your plan and whatever extras you have through your provider.

I loved my Dash. I loved my Treo 650. Both are history know. No hard feelings. I saw the sinking ship named Palm and I see one sinking again. It's too little, too late. Microsoft arrogance or incompetence I don't know, maybe both.
I like this forum a lot. Thanks Kavana again for the great superior ROM.

I will ship it anywhere for $150. It's a Taiwan build HTC S620 + 2GB card. Screenprotector from day 1 but the 'silver' striping around the case is now black on several places. Plastic USB cover is missing since last month (perfect!). It will be off duty as soon as I can obtain the iPhone 3G. hope I can get one on Friday. The Netherlands has a 100% full speed 3G coverage .

2nd, the flow of the software and the usability of it seem great. Just too bad the whole thing looks looks like it was put together by a bunch of people who wouldn't know what design was if a design school fell down and hit them in the head.

It's finally here (march '09). Excalibur replacement

Since we saw a couple of weeks ago htc's '09 roadmap, I've been waiting to find more info on the HTC S511 'Cedar', and it looks they are finally here.
PDAdb.net just added the (incomplete) specs for the device.
Can't wait for it to be released, and I'm hoping that some local carrier gets it ASAP.
What are your thoughts?
There's no info yet on the battery or weight, whatsoever, but if the stock battery doesn't get me throught the day I won't mind changing for a high capacity one as long as its form factor is similar to the dash one.
Looks good, i hope its in black or atleast a black shell is availbe.
I really really wished they atleast added a 2.5mm audio output... itd be nice to be able to charge it while listening to music...
Any guesses on a price if tmobile gets it? if its in the 200-300 range.. im all over that
cool.. yeah a black shell will be great
no 3g though?

ah, cool. must've missed it. if it has 3g & comes to t-mobile by the end of this year, i'll probably get it. i bought an ipod touch recently & love it but realized i could not use a touch keyboard like that for emailing/messaging. it's so annoying.

It has HSDPA faster than 3G
looks really nice!!
That site indicates the S620 has IR. Pretty sure that's incorrect.
The fuzzy image of the Cedar reminds me of the Palm Centro. Except the Centro of course has a touch screen.
Glad to see a replacement, but I have personally outgrown WindowsMobile Standard. It's almost time for me to move on to a touchscreen or a Blackberry.
damn I swapped my Dash for a G1....when this comes out I may have to cop it straight up just to have it.
dash 2
News floating on the net says different , HTC S511 Cedar isn't the new dash. The new HTC Maple/3G Excalibur is said to be the successor of the dash/excalibur.

My fault... Seeing the specs it looked like the straight replacement for the dash, but I should have noticed it's a S5xx series, and I suppose dash replacement will be S6xx, or something of the sorts.
Anyway, specs-wise looks good.

Dash or Behold

I have a chance to trade my Ooka 3vo 2.0 rom Dash for a mint Samsung Behold........should i?
i got til tonight to decide.
i wouldnt, my dad has a behold, its not that great of a phone, and you cant customize it very much.
What??
Are you talking of getting rid of Excalibur to get another brand?
The model looks good but remember: You won't have the great support of this site with any other than HTC devices
Good luck on your decision
thanks smjfosho.......i just finished looking at the behold forum.looks like you can customize alot.....but thanks for your reply

I think if you really want a behold, get one when you can afford to buy it, and keep the dash, you won't regret it. I got a htc Tilt now and wouldn't think of getting rid of my dash, ever since I bought it , it has had a case, screen protector, it's been over a year, never seen the floor, and it still looks brand new. I still think that the dash is a bada$$ phone.
Don't do it!
the reason I got a Dash as my replacement phone is because of the helpful people on this forum!

You are right.I do love my Dash.It`s badass looking thanks to Ooka and everyone here who helped me.I just thought a Behold would be an upgrade,a step up.......but, i`m keeping my Dash.
Thanks guys.....
Great decision!
As rolo said, when you got some extra $, buy another device and do the upgrade but keep your Excalibur!
the only downfall of the dash is the camera (wish you could upgrade it somehow LOL), but i know its an old phone.
i love the dash's simplicity yet being able to do everything.
Well i'm just hopeing that the time of the advertised swap is over and you didn't do it
Just gonna echo other users i use Tilt as main device yet sat next to me on the trusty computer table is teh Dash still looking the same as it did when turned up oh except the OS.
I'm looking into a Tornado but not gonna sell the Dash
Didn`t do it.....
I kept my Dash.You all are right......Save $ and get another phone,but keep the Dash...It`s like family here!......Since we all are family, who wants to borrow me some money?
Take care y`all.
lol I know you've already made a decision to keep your HTC phone...
a smart one too
but anyway, if you EVER buy a samsung, don't get it used =P

I just "upgraded" from the regular dash to the "Black" dash (I really just purchased a black dash from ebay and swapped the case with my dash so I wouldn't have to reinstall and setup everything all over again).
I have to say, the "black" dash just looks so much more hi-tech then my original "steel" faceplate one

that is so FAIL... the chrome faceplate is 100x better. and really... i think it'd be easier to reflash and install than swap cases. I'm guessing you don't save everything on a sim card and backup your registry. you should try it... really...

Moto Cliq
Im waiting for the release of the motorola cliq next month. Its android, nice keyboard with no chin, and the touchscreen supports multiple touch (unlike g1).

Multi-touch is enabled by the OS, not the hardware. The new version of Android that will be on the Cliq will also be available for the G1 and MyTouch. Word is that multi-touch is already built into Cupcake it is just turned off by default.
multi touch.
Not true, some screens support it better than others.
The g1 has an older screen that althought it does work, it doesnt work say as good as the my touch.
But the mytouch doesnt have a keybaord.

Multi touch works just as good on my g1 as it does mytouch. the cliq is going to be running donut most likely instead of cupcake but cyanogen's mod has close to a third of the donut's tree already working and it won't be long till we see a prerelease of donut on the g1 and mytouch like we've seen 6.5 here on the excalibur forum. And the mytouch is fail from a lack of keyboard. The only decent way to type is to turn if sideways and the keyboard still doesn't stand up the samsungs memoir and beholds. I swear if those phones had android id call the g1 a fluke in a heartbeat
i finally got a mytouch 3g, i love it
