You might recall HTC from our previous post on the Vox smartphone. The HTC Advantage is the businessman’s alternative. Featuring a different design, resembling a really small laptop. The Advantage is actually a rebranding of the previously announced HTC Athena. The HSDPA data-supporting phone runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition, a product name getting more and more annoying to type out every time a phone features the OS.
The Advantage features a 5 inch wide touchscreen, 8GB hard drive, 8 hours of battery power, WiFi, Bluetooth, miniSD support, topped off with a 3MP camera. Built in motion sensors allow you to navigate through different applications using only one hand control. Much like the Vox, the Advantage will be available in Germany in March and might see the U.S. if sales show success. — Andrew Dobrow
