i think i seen that phone on Easydevices website, called the Advantage, although i think it runs Mobile 5 rather than Vista,

all i know is, ive got mine preordered :D

What I dont get is why they are releasing the Advantage with Windows Mobile 5 instead of 6. Easydevices also have the HTC S710 which has Mobile 6.

They should be using Mobile 6.

HTC P9500 (Shangri-La)

[hanmin]

I'm not sure who to blame, you guys who didn't notice the title, or insider666 who seems to be .. weird on this introduction with almost nothing to say about it. Anyway if you look at those photos, the unit runs on Windows Vista. Yes, Vista the full PC-class OS, not the strip down mobile Windows Mobile. Also note the Windows key on the keyboard.

Anyway, I'm not sure where did this news come from, but I'm not having luck on google on this. However, both the pics above may have been photoshopped, you never know, until we get a more reliable source :)

[Marky_boy78]

it does look like the HTC advantage, and it does look like its been photoshopped, cause the windows key looks awful bright.

but hey, if it runs vista i'll be impressed but i think it'l be mobile 5 if not 6

[insider666]

here is the rough spec for P9500:

It is a Vista Plus WM 6

7" Screen
40GB HD
VGA for VT
WIFI
HSDAPA,UMTS
GPS
Fingerprint Recognition
Semi-auto Sliding.

It is a Vista Plus WM 6

What would the point in that be?

www.seehtc.com

Thats the official Advantage page.

I just hope that the T-Mobile version (T-Mobile Ameo) will be upgradable to WM6, otherwise it will be made obsolete within 3 months of hitting the market.

Oh and the second pic just looks like an early mock up of the I-mate Ultimate 7150.

This is not an HTC advantage, please bear in mind.

It will be out in Q4 2007.

Here is another one, HTC P6550 Sedna (Not P6500 Sirius)
3.5" Screen
3.0 Mega pixel autofocus camera,
fingerprint recognition
credit/smart card reder
support GPS and A-GPS.

This is not an HTC advantage, please bear in mind.
That doesnt explain why it will use both Vista and WM6, please explain what the point in using Dual OS's would be along with how these will be partitioned.

[Rudegar]

i doubt very much it will use both
vista is not likely to be compiled for more platforms then x86-32 and 64

and wm6 is arm based

if it's running vista is will have a pc cpu
and if it have that kinda power it would be easier to emulate wm6 then to put in a arm cpu in the device too

[teambnet]

My guess: virtualization of WM to operate HSPDA and GSM phone and data services; that way they don't have to write a phone program for Vista (or maybe MS wants it that way).

This is a space HTC can't ignore considering the popularity of the Sony UX models and the growing buzz around the OQO 02 and its WWAN EV-DO.

[Taz69]

I expect the reason for 2 OSes on the one device will be
WM6 for low power requirements & day long operation of Push mail as in the manner that current devices can manage.
Vista for the times that a standard PC app is required at the expense of only being able to run for 3 - 5 hours.

The base Windows CE is available for x86 machines but I expect a dual processor setup to support the low power requirements of WM6 compared to Vista.

IMHO, this super dude is a smart-ass. He seems to be photoshopping the images leaked/released by HTC in this PDF doc.

Folks, take a look at this

[karhoe]

Does this mean that HTC is slowly venturing in laptop market?
