Is the HTC Advantage the Ultimate UMPC?

Steve's very detailed review of his HTC Advantage that he was lucky enough to find at a closing CompUSA for only US$540 (that is a steal in my book). Steve starts out by taking a look at the different ultra portables currently available and explaining what some of those compromises are, such as short battery life, larger size, and slower performance. He talks about the display, touch screen, size, keyboard/input, software, multimedia, connectivity, battery life, and Windows Mobile 6 operating system as he takes a look at the Advantage.

I just recently installed RealVGA on my loaner HTC Advantage and that has made a world of difference in usability for me as I can now use the display to its fullest. There are other aspects and more details of some of these same aspects that I am experiencing and may write up in an update to my August review as I too try to use the Advantage as my ultra portable PC. If you can find one of these at a CompUSA store before they are closed I highly recommend you do so. Unfortunately, all of the stores in my area are already closed so I am out of luck with this strategy.
