Anyone here own a 17” or bigger wide screen laptop? In my Imho, I think their target audience here is for users who prefer to have some mobility but station most of the time. What you grain from a big laptop compare to an UMPC is the bigger screen. The weight will kill your back but if you don’t travel a lot, what do you care?

To anyone who complain about lack of head speaker should get a brick, press it against their ear, and look in the mirror. You want to hold a brick to your ear while having a conversation? This thing is huge dude. Get a bluetooth head set, keep the phone in your belt pouch, and you'll look much cooler. Too bad it doesn't come with Window Mobile 6. Otherwise, it'll be my next phone.

This huge thing can not be called a phone what so ever, it 's not even going to fit in any of your pockets regardless of it's other features it is something in between PDA and Laptop PC, I wouldn't buy it.

If that´s the case, you can of course maintain the loud speaker´s volume down and use the Advantge as a phone close to your ear. In any case, it isn´t confortable to use it that way because of its weight and size. The rigth way to use would be with a bluetooth headset with caller ID.

How could HTC leave off a head speaker and call it a cell phone?

So, are you saying that the only way you can use this cell phone is with a headphone or via speakerphone? (Of course, if you use it as a speakerphone, everyone around you will be able to hear.)

The guy below is correct. 1.1 is the host. 2.0 is the client. It indeed has with 2 speakers. It’s call stereo. Other than this, you can’t hold this phone to your ear and have a phone conversation due to the lack of head speaker piece.

It has two ports:
One HTC ExtUSB™ (11-pin mini-USB 2.0 and audio jack in one). And one HTC proprietary 16-pin combined port (USB 1.1 host/VGA)

Looks like a killer product. Now the only question is the price...Still HTC is the king!

This phone does indeed have built-in speakers. Two, in fact.

Regarding the USB: Go over to HTC's site and read for yourself that the phone has USB 1.1 and not 2.0. That means the data transfer rate between the phone and a computer will be the slower USB 1.1 speed. Again, that guy below is wring. This phone does not have USB 2.0...period!

For the guy comment below. It would be an overkill for any PPC to have a 2Ghz processor. As far as I know, no PPC software require or can take advandge of an uber processor. The only common ground between laptop and PPC are both running Microsoft OS. The market for PPC and MS laptop is completely different.

BTW, it doesn't come with a speaker where you can listen on the unit. You'll need a BT headset or thru the build-in loud speaker for phone conversation.

Correction. The USB client IS 2.0 but the USB host is 1.1 What the host allows you to do is for hooking up to external USB mouse and keyboard.

Also, this phone is a whopping 4 inches wide. Before you order this phone, I urge you take an index card and cut it down to 4 inches. Then hold it in your hand. You will see that this stretches your hand very wide and it is not very comfortable. The dimensions of this phone in inches is 5.23 x 4 x .80 (the depth of .80 is with the keyboard covering the screen). Also, this phone weighs 13 ounces. This phone will not be comfortable at all if one talks on the phone for a long time. Plus, for the huge amount of money one will spend, nearly US$1300, why would HTC leave out USB 2.0? There is USB 2.0 on cheap, tiny USB Flash Drives. HTC put in only USB 1.1. How could they be so dumb?

Warning! This device only has USB 1.1 and not USB 2.0. What a dumb blunder by HTC. This device has a built-in 8 GB hard drive. Copying over 8 GB's via USB 1.1 will be painfully slow. What was HTC thinking only putting in USB 1.1.

Too bad the screen is not 800x600 but 640x480. It is just not good for internet.

I can't call this "miniPC" a phone. Maybe a mobile PC with pohne capabilities. Maybe instead of 5", a 3" would have been better to reduce the dimensions and weight.

A great tool ! Only regrets - lack of infra red port, and if the length was 120 mm, width 80 mm and a 4" display, would have fitted snugly, in the shirt pocket.
