The T-Mobile Dash (a.k.a. HTC Excalibur) generated a lot of buzz before its release for a couple of reasons. First, it had the greatest potential for being a Motorola Q killer, and second, it looked pretty darn ugly. But is this ugly duckling really a swan? Here is a collection of photos of the smart phone; you be the judge.
The T-Mobile Dash has a look similar to BlackBerrys, but has merits of its own. The smart phone features a soft-touch finish and curved edges, making it very comfortable to hold.
There's a mini USB jack on the bottom of the device for connecting to your PC. This is where you can also plug in the included pair of earbuds for rocking out to tunes.
On the back of the Dash, you will find the 1.3-megapixel camera and self-portrait mirror. There's also a Micro SD slot hiding behind the battery cover.
The T-Mobile Dash features a decent keyboard with tactile buttons and bright backlighting. That said, it's a bit cramped, so we definitely give the Motorola Q props for its spacious keyboard.
Here is the T-Mobile Dash next to the Motorola Q. At 4.4 by 2.5 by 0.5 inches, the Dash is shorter than the Q, which measures 4.5 by 2.5 by 0.4 inches, but it's also just a hair thicker than the famed Moto smart phone.
