Following HTC's earlier HTC Advantage X7510 announcementfrom last February, I've recently received HTC's latest reincarnation of theHTC Advantage which now features Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, an increased 16 GB solid state disk storage and an improved keyboard with haptic feedback. The updated HTC Advantage includes HTC's customized HTC Today screen, as seen first with the HTC Touch, that provides one-touch access to E-Mails, SMS text messages, missed calls, calendar appointments and contacts, current weather conditions and forecasts as well it now features HTC'sTouchFLO software for enhanced finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages.

HI,

I thought the 7510 would automatically orientate the screen when moved from portrait to landscape.  Could you test this feature and comment?

Thanks,

Does the keyboard now have  light  in the backround or not ?

@George Fisher: Thanks and yes, after I've unboxed the device, I've also seen this feature is mentioned in the specs. However, in the pre-release Beta ROM my X7510 uses, this features seems to be not yet enabled. At least it's not working, doesn't matter what I'm doing.

@Andy K: No, sorry... No illuminated keyboard.

Can you test if this device can connect with a thinkoutside bt keyboard ? As they aren't supported anymore, I was wondering if they still work in WM 6.1 ...

I hope HTC releases this device soon in Europe !

Good to see that test units have been sent out.  This means that we are getting closer to production release.  I have been waiting for months.  Originally it was advertised to be USB 2.0, now people are saying that it is 1.1.  Is this correct?  I cannot imagine having a 16Gb drive and USB 1.1.

When you are getting ready for your review please try out the unit's internet connection while tethered to a laptop.  Thanks!

@REem: Will test this combination ASAP. Basically Windows Mobile 6.1 support is most interesting, right?

@DVargas: No, it's USB 2.0 Slave and 1.1 Host. I've just tried to copy some files and a 30 MB file I've copied in less then 20 seconds. So not a big deal at all to fill up the 16 GB.

Great unboxing. Looking forward to your review! One thing i have to say: Please try to speak a bit faster with less breaks while unboxing/reviewing.   

Greeting!
