While Nokias N95 is a powerful but compact smartphone, HTCs Advantage X7500 PDA smartphone is more like a compact notebook. Most of the size is due to its enormous 5in LCD with 640x480 resolution, which is four times as large as the 320x240 screen...

Superb style and lots of technology, but packing so much in has resulted in poor usability. The T-Mobile Ameo is a branded version of HTCs Advantage, and is being marketed as part smartphone, part PDA and part mini-laptop. Even so, its still a big d...

Windows Mobile Smartphone with ingenious keyboard: While the general trend for mobile devices is to go smaller, ever smaller, T-Mobiles Ameo causes a raised eyebrow for being somewhat larger than is the norm. It is also an eye-catcher because it comes in...

The Ameo is a well-specified and generally usable Windows Mobile 5.0 device with a large screen and an attachable keyboard. But despite all its built-in functionality, which includes HSDPA and GPS, we suspect that few mobile professionals are likely t...

A few years back HTC released an extremely intriguing device - the HTC Universal. That was the first VGA device with a usable keyboard and even with UMTS support. The Universal was near ideal. The screen was a bit small, the device had no external di...

Ever wish for something—say, high-end features on a smartphone—and then find that youre still not happy even when you get them? The unlocked HTC Advantage is a perfect example of that. This super-phone comes with pretty much everything you cou...
Robust TeleNav GPS with comprehensive voice prompts. Stunning, bright screen. Includes basic document editing and robust keyboard. Built-in HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth—you name it, its in there.
Too large to be a primary mobile phone. Can make or receive calls only with headset or speakerphone. Occasional OS glitches. System performance is sluggish, even with fastest available processor. A shockingly high price.
Depending on how you slice it, the HTC Advantage is either a nifty miniature laptop or a huge smartphone—and thats not exactly a good place to be. It costs too much and is way too compromised to appeal to anyone aside from the niche enthusiast...

Month after month, HTC throws in a wide range of Pocket PCs and Smartphones on the market in the hope of overwhelming its rivals (e.g. Eten, Palm, HP). Regardless the fact that HTC has already won the fight, I still think that the newcomers on the mar...

The HTC Advantage is one of the latest Pocket PC’s from HTC and should not be considered a PPC but UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer). HTC is entering the UMPC market in the near future, and this is their first attempt to release a device which i...

The strange-looking Ameo certainly catches the eye, with a large, colourful touchscreen and a keyboard that clings to the screen by magnets. When open it looks like a kind of Tom Thumb notebook PC. These magnets are so strong that you need to keep them...

So, you've considered buying a connected PDA but thought they were a little small for your needs. You've even looked at those with keyboards and felt your fingers couldn't cope with the tiny keys. Next you've considered an Ultra Mobile PCs like Samsung's...
As I said at the outset, the Ameo is not an ideal everyday smartphone, it's simply too large for that. Nor can it replace a notebook computer, it's not sophisticated enough for that. Indeed, while I think it is clever and I do like it a lot, I am not sure...

The HTC X7500 represents the future of cell phones. It has more features built into it than practically any other phone on the market, making this the phone for any tech junkie out there. It is more of a laptop/PDA than a phone. If you have the money...
