I am a new member of the club!
JK on the Run had a post saying that Comp USA was selling the Advantage 7501 for $539 in their going out of business sale. I located a store 140 miles away and snagged one.

My first impressions are that it's bigger and heavier than I thought it would be. The screen is glorious. I need to get gps software for it b/c I don't have a sim card and won't be using the built in gps software. Which gps software works with WM6?

The keyboard is an odd size. It seems too large for thumb typing and too small for touch typing. Guess I'll have to get used to it.

The built in Opera Browser is a heck of a lot better than IE.

I'm going to have to get used to the heft.

I saw a link for tcmp .72 but can't find it. Don't Panic, didn't you leave the link? Can you remind me where it is?

That's it for my first impressions.

Hey Stevenator, If you cannot find TCPMP I have a copy w/ a ton of plugins, and since it is freeware anyway, it is probably ok for me to upload it for you.

Thanks for the link and the comments. I'll try to post some pics so people can see what it looks like. I know there are other pictures out there, but if you see it next to familiar objects it gives you a better idea of its size.

When using SPB Mobile Video, what settings would I use to convert videos for this huge screen?

Unit zero put together a great package with all the codex's for tcpmp. I'm very mobile and on a strange connection or I would find the link for you.
Search for "all known codex for tcpmp" by "unit zero" or something like that.

I have read nearly every review on the Advantage, and I think yours is the best. Great photos, great simple explanations, clear layout and straight to the point details made it outstanding. Great job!

Since CES 2008 unveiled nothing I "had" to have.... I hope to be getting an Advantage soon (I was sad when I saw staff wasn't able to enter the contest for the Advantage )

I'll be interested to hear what programs, etc you have installed
