So has some new pictures of the supposed Moto Q-killing HTC Excalibur, but, umm--is it just me, or is this thing heinous? From the pictures, you can see that it's smaller than a full-QWERTY BlackBerry and it's said to be smaller than the Moto Q, but on a purely superficial level, it doesn't even come close to the Q on the sexiness scale. However, things look a little better beneath the surface. Unlike the Q, the quadband GSM/EDGE smart phone has integrated Wi-Fi in addition to Bluetooth. It will still run Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Edition, which means no touch screen, so take note. No word yet on carrier, pricing, or availability.
