HTC Excalibur Review - Display & Audio

Display & Audio

Display
The Excalibur has a QVGA display of 240x 320 pixels. The display is the exact same resolution as the Motorola Q but is one inch smaller in size. The screen is capable of displaying 65,000 colors. Since the Excalibur is a Smartphone, it does not have a touch screen or stylus. All the new Smartphones have the 240x 320 resolution and there a lot of programs that are being made for this resolution.  

Audio
The Excalibur is great for listening to music. All the new HTC devices have excellent speakers too. The speaker on the Excalibur is located on the back side and when on full volume is a bit too loud. The Excalibur comes with stereo headphones that plug into the mini-USB located at the bottom side of the phone. It is too bad that HTC decided to go with mini USB on their new devices because I think the 3.5mm headphone jack would have been much better. The Excalibur has built in stereo over Bluetooth and works great with the Sony Ericsson HBH DS970 headphones. The stereo over Bluetooth works great with Windows Media Player but is very limited in other programs.
