Unboxing plain ol' released products is so 2006. The hip new thing is unboxing products that have yet to be released, like this here
HTC Cavalier, and to a lesser extent, the
iPhone. Boy Genius, international man of mystery, does the honors on this one, and while we don't see a box anywhere in sight, he makes up for it with a myriad of pics, so we're going to take his word for it that there was a box somewhere in these proceedings. As for the phone, that 400MHz processor, side mounted touch-wheel and 2 megapixel camera look just as promising in the flesh as they do on those oft-leaked spec sheets. Unfortunately, the phone seems to share its progenitor's curse of looking odd for the camera, but if it's as good in person as the
Excalibur, we could still have a winner here. Unfortunately, HTC has sent out word that the phone is currently "postponed indefinitely," so we'll have to see what's up with that before we get our hopes too high for this little HSDPA number. Check another pic after the break, or peep the read link for the whole collection.

The iPhone can't get here soon enough.
Please rescue me from this garbage.
Am I the only one that thinks comments like this are already getting old? Not to mention they are not even remotely creative.
Did they get rid of the touch strip from the Excalibur... cause that was a pain..
Agreed
Oh god, is EVERY post about an mp3 player, phone, or pda going to have ignorant garbage about "why is anyone even making these things anymore, the iphone is almost here!!"
grr

Looks very last century. Almost looks retro.
(actually, it more reminds of one of the old HP scientific calculators from the 90s...)
It's really not a retro looking phone. I assume this has the same problem as the Dash, which is that it looks chunky and ugly in photos, but very slick in person. Since I bought this phone a month ago, I've had about 15 people come up to me on the streets and ask me about it (and no body has ever wanted to check out any previous phone I've ever owned).
Well I think it's sexy.
i wonder how that guy cut himself
Haha, yet another ripoff from the Moto Q.
Why oh why won't they start including pocket pc in these things already? Then I would be excited. I refuse to give up my 8125 for anything with the stripped down version of the OS.
R u serious? Moto q doesn't have WIFI... among other things.. WIFI.. it was a big mistake for MOTO to make a device with out WIFI.. In case you didn't get it... the biggest difference is WIFI
Wait until you walk down the street with your iPhone, you will have 150 people stopping you to look at your phone if they don't have one already.
looks like it has an iSync software (2nd icon), does that mean it is going to sync with apple? mnnnnnnnnnnnnn
No, that is not iSync. It is the icon for the Communication Manager.
400 mhz processor? i have a desktop computer that i use on a regular basis that's only 400 mhz.
wow.
This needs a Pocket PC Touchscreen and T-Mobile 3G.
Agreed
I pray for Dash like pricing, basically the same phone
Hey, why doesn't HTC release any products with the Palm OS? I know, it's an old OS, but it's damn good and very extensible.
Do you think they're locked out because of their past relationship with Palm (the hardware guys)?
iphone no 3G = Suck
Why does it look bigger than the Q or the blackjack? Is it the full Windows Mobile 5 or just a bloated smartphone?
I would like to buy it NOW.
Anyone have one for sale?
