Rob provides a great writeup after two weeks with the HTC Advantage and considers it a true alternative to the Apple iPhone. No, it’s not as sexy as the Cupertino offering and you effectively need to use a Bluetooth headset with all of your calls (unless you like a speakerphone setup), but it shines in ways that the iPhone doesn’t. What ways, you ask? Rob likes the native Exchange syncing, integrated 3G radio, miniSD slot and built-in GPS, making it closer to a laptop replacement. Neither device can be all things to all people, but this is a fair comparison and worth the read if our video overview hasn’t helped you decide if the HTC Advantage is for you or not.
