I agree with Lutz. Great for casual navagation. I'm in Boston, MA and my daily commute takes me through the brick canyons. Using google maps and my HTC Advantage GPS on my bus trip home showed me traveling mostly through buildings while I was riding on the MBTA.

1- dont use any meters (ilauch, sbp etc) they'll drain the battery
2- get the pocketpc tech's power dongle, charges 2x as fast connected to usb (including in car, without it you'll lose battery power while plugged in, and using gps)

I'll try that. PocketPCTechs have been taking care of my devices since I was using a Compaq iPaq.

Larry Bank of bitbank software fame has released a WM6 version of PQV (Pocket Quick View) an excellent photo viewing and editing app. It has some bugs right now for HTC Advantage users but Larry is one developer that definitely listens to user feedback.

Mobile Banking with Bank of America
www.bofa.mobi the mobile banking website for Bank of America does not work with either Internet Explorer Mobile or the Opera browser included with the HTC Advantage at this time. If you're a Bank of America Online User be sure to login to your account and send an email requesting that the HTC Advantage be added to their list of supported mobile phones. Let your choice be heard.

Watch Google Videos on the AT&T HSDPA Network
Download TCPMP 0.72RC1,
Download the FLV bundle. This link takes you to the RapidShare file hosting website
Install both to the same loacation ie Device, Microdrive, or storage card.
Soft reset.

This works with HSDPA and Wifi. One thing I've found is that videos linked with GUBA don't work but videos linked to video.google do.

I have been following pocketables.net lately as she unboxes and posts about the advantage. I have compiled a list of the articles...... very well done...so I thought I'd share.... ~ Susan (who is hoping to have an Advantage by the end of the year )

HTC Advantage X7501 and AT&T Tilt in harmony-12/13/07
"One of the reasons I bought an AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II) is that I needed to downgrade my HTC Advantage X7501, which recently proved to be too big and unwieldy for primary cell phone use while traveling. As I..."

Review: HTC Advantage X7501 as mobile entertainment- 11/20/07
"If the HTC Advantage X7501 is touted as "the most powerful mobile office," can it also succeed as an equally powerful mobile entertainment center? Just about any device these days can amuse you for 15 minutes while standing in line..."

Review: HTC Advantage X7501 keyboard-10/24/07
"One of the most unique features of the HTC Advantage X7501 is its detachable magnetic keyboard. Since nearly everything about it—size, usability, comfort—has generated commentary from users and interest from curious consumers, I'd like to offer my take on it..."

HTC Advantage X7501 benchmarks-10/6/07
"I've just finished running a handful of performance tests on the HTC Advantage X7501 using Spb Benchmark. The software, while excellent, isn't a perfect fit for the Windows Mobile 6 and Vista combination I use, so some of the minor..."

NetFront Browser results on HTC Advantage X7501-10/4/07
"In response to my recent HTC Advantage browser performance article, a reader by the name of MiniMage expressed an interest in seeing whether the NetFront Browser would hold its own against the others (Opera, Internet Explorer Mobile, Minimo, and Picsel)...."

Browser performance on HTC Advantage X7501 - 9/29/07
"Compared to other Windows Mobile devices, the HTC Advantage X7501 seems capable of providing a much more enjoyable mobile web browsing experience because of its 5-inch VGA display and 624MHz Intel XScale PXA270 processor. But with both Internet Explorer Mobile..."

HTC Advantage X7501 sizes up OQO Model 02 - 9/24/07
"Just about the only thing the HTC Advantage X7501 and the OQO Model 02 have in common is their size. Both sport a 5-inch display and bear such similar dimensions that choosing between power/functionality and portability may actually not be..."

One week with the HTC Advantage X7501 - 9/19/07
"Now that it's been a full week since I unboxed the HTC Advantage X7501, I think it's a good time to share some of my early impressions. I've also recorded a short video demonstrating the incredible strength of the magnets... "

iPhone SIM could give HTC Advantage HSDPA - 9/16/07
"If AT&T included Hawaii in the deployment of its BroadbandConnect network, I would have already turned my iPhone into an iPod touch and been cruising the web on my unlocked HTC Advantage over a 3G mobile broadband connection as fast..."

Q&A: HTC Advantage X7501 - 9/14/07
"Unboxing the HTC Advantage the other day generated some great questions and comments that I'd like to address in a good old-fashioned Q&A session."

Unboxing the HTC Advantage X7501 - 9/12/07
"I'm sitting in a beautiful cloud of gadget euphoria right now because the HTC Advantage I first ordered in June, later canceled in favor of the Samsung Q1 Ultra, and ultimately re-ordered has finally arrived. If happiness is contagious and...."

Which power dongle do I use for charging in my car? Can someone provide a link?
Thanks!
