Is the HTC Advantage really the most powerful mobile office?

Here are the hardware specs that I can confirm are on this model, the HTC Advantage X7501:

624 MHz Marvell PXA270 processor with ATi Graphic Chip W2284
QUALCOMM MSM 6275 processor for 3G mobile data connectivity
8 GB Microdrive hard drive, Seagate model

HSDPA/UMTS (850/1900 MHz for USA and 2100 for Europe/Japan)
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
GPS receiver: SirF StarIII with Ephemeris Extension support
Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support
802.11 b/g WiFi
3 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash light

Hardware - wireless connectivity: The HTC Advantage has all of the best wireless functionality found in mobile devices today, with U.S. HSDPA 3.5G support, UMTS, EDGE, quad-band GSM, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support and 802.11 b/g WiFi. I simply popped out my iPhone SIM and put it into the Advantage to get full HSDPA connectivity. I regularly saw download speeds from 700 to 900 kbps, tested using the www.dslreports.com/mspeed site. You will need to get an AT&T SIM card to see the full HSDPA wireless speeds, but the device will also work with T-Mobile and its EDGE data service.

I was able to connect a pair of Cardo Scala S-2 stereo Bluetooth headphones to the Advantage and listen to flawless Yahoo! Music via Bluetooth from about 25 feet away through 2 interior house walls. My iPhone sometimes starts to lose Bluetooth signal if a I hold a headset an arms reach across my body and I have found the Bluetooth radio in the Advantage to be quite strong.

Hardware - GPS receiver: The GPS receiver is what impressed me after the first 15 minutes of using the device since I quickly downloaded Google Maps and found that the GPS receiver tracked my location in my house on the bottom floor about 8 feet from a window. I have never had a GPS receiver pick up a signal this well and was quite impressed. There is a QuickGPS utility that uses wireless data connections to help obtain the initial signal faster so that may have played a big factor in the speed of satellite aquisition. I then used the TeleNav software that came loaded on the device during a few road trips and time and again found the GPS to pick up signals quickly and maintain them very well while driving around. I have a bit more detail about the TeleNav software itself down further in this review. I regularly would have the Advantage sitting on the console of my truck’s bench seat between the driver and passenger so no direct access to the sky was present, but it was set back about 2 feet from the window.

Hardware - 8GB Microdrive: The 8GB Microdrive is a Seagate model that gives you 7625.13 MB of storage space. I loaded 90% of the 3rd party programs I tested on the microdrive and was surprised that I saw no lag in performance, especially after seeing the lag that Palm has on the 4GB LifeDrive. I watched movies that played flawlessly and synced and stored lots of music and podcasts on the drive. Photos and video taken with the camera can also be stored directly on the microdrive and this is the only time it may take a second or two to write the image to the drive.

I played all of my video (when not testing) and audio content off of the hard drive and could not feel or hear any drive spinning. I was also pleased to find there was no detectable heat generated from the drive spinning.

Someone asked me about hard drive upgradeability and the official policy is that HTC does not consider the drive replaceable or upgradeable by users and any unauthorized attempt by uses to upgrade the hard drive will result in the devices warranty to be voided.
