HTC Advantage fit for Navigation?

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.

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.

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.
