HTC Excalibur May Be Coming to Canada

There's strong evidence that Rogers Canada is planning to offer a Windows Mobile Smartphone with a built-in keyboard that was developed by HTC.

This model, code-named Excalibur, has not yet been officially anounced by Rogers, but a product manual (pdf) for it now appears on this carrier's web site.

It will apparently be called the S621 by Rogers. HTC itself offers a version of this smartphone, which it styles the S620. T-Mobile USA also offers the Excalibur, but calls it the Dash.

It is not known at this time when Rogers Canada will start offering the S621, or what it will cost.
