Three months ago, I asked the very same question, only the price was $200 higher. It’s the HTC X7500, er Athena…uh Ameo…I meant, Advantage, or is it the U1000? Maybe calling the device by five names is jacking up the price. In any case, if you want to pre-order the Windows Mobile 5 phone with a five-inch display and 8 GB hard drive, don’t let us stop you. Head right over to On-The-Go Solutions and then tell us how it feels to splurge. Meanwhile, we’ll be using first generation UMPCs with more storage and larger displays for about 50% less, which leaves us money to pick up a nice phone too. Yikes! If you want to save the $1500 and get just a feel for the device, put your wallet away and watch the video unboxing. ;)
