FCC Gives HTC Cavalier Green Light

kevinhall2 — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 18:00:00 EDT

Fans of the popular HTC Excalibur (T-Mobile Dash) should be excited to hear that the smartphone's anticipated successor, the HTC Cavalier, has been approved by the FCC. We already saw the thing get unboxed months ago, but for those of you with short memories, the Cavalier has 3G connectivity—a make-or-break feature for most people looking at smartphones these days—Windows Mobile 6, a 400MHz processor, and a 2-megapixel camera.

Now all the Cavalier needs is a US carrier and we'll finally be able to get our eager hands on it. With the presence of GSM support, we wouldn't be surprised to see T-Mobile pick it up. Given AT&T's lackluster handling of the iPhone release, we're hoping their hands are too tightly tied to grab hold of the Cavalier. [FCC]

HTC Cavalier (Dopod C730) Unboxed on Video

You saw a version of the HTC Cavalier back when Boy Genius had it in January, but On the Go Solutions has a video of the T-Mobile Dash (HTC S620) successor. It's got Windows Mobile 6, a 400MHz processor, 2.0-megapixel camera, and even 3G.

As a side note, the narrator's voice is so deliberate and confident, we couldn't keep from laughing for some reason. Maybe it's just because it's Friday.

As a second side note, I think it's pronounced like "Dew pod" instead of "D'oh pod." – Jason Chen

As per usual, the Boy Genius got his hands on a much-wanted smartphone that nobody else has and posted unboxing shots for us all. This time it's the HTC Cavalier, successor to the Dash/Excalibur. The GSM smartphone now boasts HSDPA and an upgraded Samsung 400MHz processor. Money shots ahead.

There's one bit of bad news, however: it's been postponed "indefinitely." ::Frown:: – Nicholas Deleon

HTC Upgrades the Excalibur/Dash With The Cavalier

Jason Chen — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 18:00:06 EST

Fans of the T-Mobile Dash/HTC Excalibur's form factor will be happy to know that HTC's working on a successor to the thin phone, currently called the Cavalier. Like the Dash, the phone will have a 320x240 screen, touch-pad scrolling, 802.11b/g WiFi and GSM/GPRS/EDGE.

So how does this phone improve on the Dash?

How about 3G UMTS and HSDPA capability, a 400MHz Samsung processor (up from 200MHz OMAP), a 2-megapixel camera, and a 1,050mAh battery. HTC is planning on launching this sometime in January/February '07, which means Cingular and T-Mobile have plenty of time to hurry up and deploy their 3G networks in your area. – Jason Chen
