Buy HTC Athena here!!! [Archive]

Now that I have sold my HTC Universal for $600USD, I wait to buy the HTC Athena. HTC Athena will be marketed in early-mid march. It is known as the T-Mobile Ameo or the Dopod U1000. Price will range from $650USD to $1000USD? If I am correct I think its competitors (well personally I think that Athena is no way comparable to this garbage f***ed ) are going to be Apple iPhone and O2 XDA Flame. You can take iPhone off your list. It is very low on performance wise. Same goes for O2 XDA Flame. Although both Flame and iPhone will be very popular, dont fall for it! They are smaller and sleeker too! iPhone = $500 and Flame probably $700?

Anyways when Athena hits market anywhere in Asia, Europe or the Americas please post links here that all of us can use to make purchases.

Not really i think the price i offer is pretty descent for a pocket pc only. I dont want any addons. Just a plain vanilla. Since with all addons it costs 600 pounds then maybe 400 pounds without addons? or maybe i have to wait longer?

When you say *all the add-ons* I hardly think the gift pack is adding much to it.

Box Contents:
- Dopod U1000 Pocket PC
- Battery
- USB Sync. Cable
- VGA out adaptor cable
- Stereo wired headset with microphone
- Carrying Case
- User manual, quick start guide & software CD

Gift Pack:
- Bluetooth Headset
- Screen Protector
- GPS Software with Hong Kong & China map

I think those last 3 are free, so I doubt you will be seeing it any more vanilla.

I hate the price but this is so far the best looking body finish. Original unmodified HTC Advantage X7500 available to be bought from HTC themselves. Price is $1500USD. >.> Dang.

As you can see, they are on pre-order only, that's why some member here decide to buy from me, they don't want to wait anymore! beside that i can get it cheaper than $1500, i can get it for $1260 including shipping !

Please be aware of all these cheap HTC Advantage, they are all FAKE!!!!!
It's not out yet the Advantage until beginning of april. I have official confirmation on this. If you look at that seller, he is also selling the Apple iPhone 8G ! Do you believe it or not, your decision.

Yea its not out. maybe thats a pre-order or its just another fraud.. but still i like that offer. Maybe something like that will come later on. I like the black athena and i will only go for that. i had a silver universal earlier and didnt like it much.

You do know it's all on pre-order, although they quote you the price, when the device is out, the price might get adjusted. No one is sure of the price yet for HTC Advantage, you can phone HTC and ask yourself.

Look here also, Advantage is having problem which explain the delay, so think twice before you place your order, you might want to either get the DOPOD or Ameo, or wait until Advantage is really out and see if the problem is solved.

yes, waitng is the best way
wait and when available ask from who that buy it and if they sey it is good then go to order it

like most stuff from expansys, overpriced. . Who in God's name is paying 1260 $ for a WM5 Dopod U1000? :p The current market price is around 900$. I wonder what sort of people are still buying from expansys? Do they not compare?

But not from the links you quoted. None of them offers a 7500 for 900 USD. That's for the 7501. The 7500 is still more expensive.

The difference between the 7500 and 7501 is just the missing front camera at the 7501? Or anything else?
