HTC Advantage Reviewed
Posted by gasusan2005 on 08/28/07 in HTC, Mobilitysite Reviews
Matt Miller, Mobile Gadgeteer Blog and one of MoTR hosts, received an HTC Advantage to review. His first impressions, HTC Advantage First Impressions were that he liked the high resolution display, snappy response, high quality build, functional leather case, GPS receiver sensitivity and functionality, 3G HSDPA radio integration and VueFLO technology. He wasn’t thrilled with the clear plastic stylus or lack of Microsoft Voice Command 1.6.
He has used the device a few weeks as his primary device.
HTC’s retail box states that the HTC Advantage X7501 is “The most powerful mobile office” and after over 2 weeks with the device I tend to agree it is an amazing device in a form factor that meets a great balance of compromises. Do I think it is worth the US$850 retail price (Amazon.com price) and will I be buying one for myself after sending back the evaluation unit?
Matt goes into detail reviewing the hardware features, software included on the device, third party software, and numerous usage scenarios. His conclusion?
I had no serious interest in purchasing an HTC Advantage after just reading the specs online and a couple of reviews of the earlier models. It wasn’t until I was able to get my hands on one and take it for a serious test drive that I have come to realize how amazingly powerful and functional the device really is for a person who is data-centric like me. Considering I paid over US$850 for my MDA II Phone Edition a couple of years ago, US$850 for a device that packs in every wireless radio available along with GPS and an 8GB drive seems like a bargain to me. The HTC Advantage is the fastest and most powerful Windows Mobile device on the market and I highly recommend you get over to your local CompUSA and give it a try. I hope to have a bit more time to play with this device before I succumb and fork over some cash for my own Advantage so if you have any specific questions on the device that I did not answer in my review, feel free to post them in the TalkBack comments.
