Rumor: HTC Cavalier postponed indefinitely and review of HTC Cavalier published January 17, 2007 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. HTC Cavalier, which is a 3G smartphone (Windows Mobile Smartphone Edition, no touch screen) with QWERTY keyboard for single-handed usage, is a successor to popular HTC Excalibur (T-Mobile Dash, HTC S620, etc.) and it adds tri-band UMTS with HSDPA on top of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth! The HTC Cavalier (S630) in the flesh unboxed. As many of you know it's a needed upgrade to the ever popular HTC Excalibur (and all incarnations). The processor has been upgraded to a Samsung 400Mhz, flash memory of 128MB, a 2-mega pixel camera, and a slightly updated form factor. The 3G is tri-band, 850/1900/2100 and I have been zipping along Cingular's network without a hitch so far. HSDPA baby! Signal reception is as good or better than the Excalibur and the JOGGR touch-wheel has been moved to the direct side instead of by the screen. And now for some bad news, HTC sent out a memo to all distributors saying this device has been "postponed indefinitely". To read the review, including several brilliant photos of this smartphone, click here. At this moment HTC has no 3G phones with QWERTY keyboard for single-handed usage, so we hope that if even HTC Cavalier has been cancelled, then HTC will replace it with a Pocket PC phone with 3G support and QWERTY keyboard for single-handed usage. While HTC offers excellent HTC Hermes Pocket PC phone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the truth is that most users demand QWERTY keyboards for single-handed usage - such as in all BlackBerry devices (market leader in push email), as in Palm Treo smartphones (cult in USA) and as in new Nokia business phones (Nokia E61 and Nokia E62 and Nokia E61i)...
