The updated HTC Advantage, the x7510, must have an imminent release soon. The new unit was expected to hit geek wallets everywhere this month and pre-orders have started on both sides of the pond. The problem with pre-ordering is that nobody can seem to agree on the price. It’s not like it should be price fixed, but based on the variances, you can get a new Advantage and an Eee PC for what some folks are charging.Pocketables reports that GearTrade is looking at $800 for the x7510 while two other resellers are asking for $1300. With a new UMPC on the way, I’m going to pass on the new Advantage even though it’s already appealing in it’s current form. If I was serious about purchasing one, I’d probably hold off and see what happens to prices when the device actually becomes available. The $800 price might be a tad low, but it’s probably more accurate than $1300. Has anyone taken the plunge on a pre-order?
