new HTC Advantage

Here’s one for the HTC Advantage fans. In case you were eyeing the Windows Mobile superphone, maybe you should wait just a bit more, or in case you already have one, well, more luck next time. ;)

At the Mobile World Congress, HTC has unveiled the updated version of its bad-ass smartphone that now includes:

  • More storage – 16GB instead of 8GB
  • Different (personally I think worse) haptic feedback keyboard
  • Opera Mobile 9
  • Google Maps
  • An updated version of VueFLO using a G-sensor that recognises the screen orientation
  • HTC TouchFLO software for easier finger navigation
  • HTC Home today screen which provides “one-touch access to emails, text messages, missed calls, calendar appointments and contacts, as well as current weather conditions and forecasts for hundreds of cities around the world.”

Everything else is pretty much the same and it’s kinda fair to expect HTC will update the software of the existing Advantage through the future firmware updates. In the meantime, you’ll have to wait for March this year, when HTC said it will start selling the new Advantage in select countries across Europe.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
