HTC Advantage X7501
The HTC Advantage X7501 is a handheld computer that is also a mobile phone. It has a quadband GSM and a triband HSPDA for network connection and a great speakerphone for making calls if the user forgets their wired or Bluetooth headset. It measures 5.25 x 3.85 x 0.63 in inches and weighs 12.66 ounces.
Its transflective VGA screen is quite big at 5 inches and so are the icons and fonts on it, making reading, viewing and operating it with one’s fingers very easy. Users can also activate the VueFLO which enables users to scroll sideways when the Advantage is tipped to its side or vertically when it is tipped up or down.
You can use the Advantage like a slate tablet computer which makes both wide and tall orientation possible, or in a clamshell mode. The 3mm thin keyboard gets clamped to the Advantage with a magnet, which is so strong that credit cards and those with pacemakers must be kept at a certain distance. The keyboard also is used as the Advantage’s cover when carried around. The keys are well-spaced, large and sensitive enough for thumb typing if one needs to. The enter key, letters, space bar and other keys are in their standard places. There’s a control key for easy editing and four arrow keys that can also be used pulling the page up or down.
The power button can also put this PDA on sleep mode or turn the Advantage off. There’s a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, SIM card slot, speakers, VGA/USB host 1.1 port and a stylus. Owners can hook the Advantage up to a monitor or projector for doing presentations using Excel, PowerPoint and Word, or to a television.
The Advantage makes use of the Intel PXA270 processor at 624MHz with 128MB of RAM and 256MB of ROM. There is also 83MB of free RAM and a SDHC compatible miniSD expansion slot. These give the Advantage plenty of file space.
The Advantage has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection and runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition, with Acrobat LE, eReader, Internet Explorer, mobile Outlook, Office Mobile, Opera and Windows Media Player Mobile. It also has a 20-channel GPS. As a phone the Advantage’s call features and quality are better than most. It has call barring and forwarding, conferencing, smart and voice speed dialing and dialing over headset, even Bluetooth and car kit types.
X7501 also has a 3-megapixel camera with an auto-focus lens, 8x digital zoom and a flash. It takes 2048 x1536 pixel photos. It can also be used as a camcorder with audio saved as an MP4 file. The Advantage uses a 2200 mAh Lithium ion battery that allows 11 hours of MP3 playing or one whole day of business multimedia use.
A purchase of an HTC Advantage includes the unit, detachable keyboard, 3.5mm stereo headset with mic, brown leather case with magnet locking mechanism, manual and start guide, screen protector, software CD with ActiveSync, two stylus, USB sync and charge cable, VGA-out cable and world charger.
