HTC Advantage | Making the iPhone Look Cheap
September 14th, 2007 by Kevin
HTC’s Advantage is a feature rich cell phone (though calling it a cell phone does not do it justice) that appears to surpass the much hailed iPhone from Apple.
The main unit is about 5 inches long, 4 inches wide and two-thirds of an inch deep and weighs about 13 ounces. It has a touch screen and a thin (0.16 inch) QWERTY keyboard that attaches magnetically to the main unit. Here are some of the cool features of the phone:
- GPS built in that integrates with Google Maps
- TV/Video out port
- ViewFLO motion sensing technology, that moves the screen as you move the phone
- 3 megapixel camera
- Tightly integrates with Outlook
The Advantage runs on Windows Mobile, which I guess is ok. Browsing the Internet is only done through mobile versions of web pages, unlike the iPhone.
So what is the downside of the phone? Try the price: $900! This makes the iPhone seem like a bargain. You can buy a laptop for that price. As with all tech items, the price will come down with time.
