Rogers to get HTC Excalibur as "S621"
Seeing how a user's guide for HTC's most QWERTY of smartphones -- the Excalibur -- has shown up on Rogers' site, we take that as a pretty strong indication that the carrier's Windows Mobile lineup is about to get one device stronger. We haven't gotten a date on just when this thing might get a "buy" link next to its picture, but with the 3G-capabile Cavalier waiting in the wings and Rogers' nascent HSDPA network slowly taking shape, we're thinking they're going to want to push it out the door sooner rather than later. Anyway, whenever the 1.3 megapixel Smartphone does drop, it'll do so as the "S621," sporting the same 128MB ROM, 64MB RAM, and quadband EDGE radio as the rest of the world's various renditions. Not a bad foil for the Nokia E62 already in Rogers' stable, if we do say so ourselves. [Warning: PDF link][Thanks, treatz]

The smartphone manual in the pdf link refers to wifi. Does that mean the S621 will have wifi enabled?

Um the S620/T-Mobile Dash/Excalibur has WiFi already. You must be thinking of the Q or Cingular's version of the BlackJack.

So what is the difference between the S620 and the S621? Will it force the subscription to and use of the Rogers "Portable Network" at $49.95 per month? I live in Fredericton, NB which was one of the world's first free wi-fi-enabled cities and this is why I am interested in this phone.

Checked and it's available to buy online from Rogers now.
