UMPC Review - HTC Advantage X750 UMPC

The ultimate mobile office: refined and up-rated. More power, more control, more performance.

The HTC Advantage has just received a hardware and software upgrade, and is now called the X7510. HTC has bumped the storage to a massive 16GB of internal flash memory, coupled with finger gesture recognition and an improved tactile keyboard for intensive text-input as well as adding in Opera 9.5, and a "future version" of Windows Mobile Windows Mobile® 6 wherever you may be. The Advantage X7510 makes playing media, working with Microsoft Office® documents, sending and receiving emails and web browsing an altogether more empowering experience.

The X7150 also has updated HTC VueFLO, so that it detects the device's orientation and rotates the screen. Slide the Advantage X7510's keyboard away to reveal the large 5” VGA touch screen incorporating the finger-friendly HTC Home™ application menu.

The rest of the hardware remains the same as the earlier Advantage: Marvell PXA270 624MHz and Qualcomm MSM 6275 processors, 5-inch VGA screen with 3-megapixel camera, 128MB of RAM and tri-band HSDPA. Looks like the new battery has about 5 percent less capacity, but we guess that the flash drive should make up for that difference.

Lightweight and attractive, the HTC Advantage X7510 is perfect for on-the-move people who need to stay in the loop… and all without compromising on power or functionality.
