The HTC Advantage is finally available in US shores, so if you've been waiting for it, it's now within arm's reach.
HTC today announced official US availability of its mobile monster (and we do mean "monster"), the Advantage. Known alternately as the Athena and X7501, the sucker rocks pretty much every feature one could want in a pocketable device: 256MB of onboard ROM, 128MB of RAM, 8GB hard drive, HSDPA 850 / 1900 alongside quadband GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 3 megapixel autofocus cam, integrated GPS, and an incredible 5 inches of VGA display madness sitting atop Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Coming in at a hefty 134 x 98 x 16mm (20mm with keyboard attached), the term "svelte" doesn't exactly apply here -- but for folks who think power trumps pocketability, this may just be their soulmate. Find it now at CompUSA and Amazon for a buck under $900.
What I find surprising about the Advantage is that no one seems to be bashing its size. Sure, there's the occasional comment or two, but it's nothing compared to the potential hurt its size might have caused. I mean, look at it. It's huge for a mobile! If this device becomes a hit, it's going to be proof that people are willing to sacrifice a little portability for plenty of power. UMPCs and similar devices might learn a thing or two from this as well.
