What is the cheapest Advantage found in the market?

[D_G]

what is the cheapest one? in Dubai, it has been introduced for 1350 USD which is too much. anything closer to 1100 USD from any markets?

P.S. i saw the black one yesterday, for the first time, and the baby is gorgeous. the pictures you see and videos of the devicde dont do it justice IMO. it looks smaller than i thought and it looked sleek and beautiful!

thanks!

The device you saw in Dubai.....was the ROM arabic enbaled? Or it was only english?
Keyboard was also having arabic letters?

Thanks in advance.

[D_G]

it was english. the arabic version will not be introduced until the end of this month.

the upgrade will be offered for free. im not sure how they will approach the keyboard issue though!

[Nara-e-Mastana]

me in Saudia....I purchased here for SR-5000 or USD-1300.
It is in english....I tried the arabitizer software (imignet) of universal and P3600 to alteast make it recongnize arabic and have a arabic virtual keyboard on screen....But unfortunately it didnot work....I think it is not compatible with the Advantage's ROM.

[D_G]

hmmm..

perhaps htc will release some updated roms soon. the guy told me it is going to be available on their website and on a CD!!

not sure but how often do you use the physical keyboard? isnt the virtual one more usable in general?

it looked sweet though. bu ttoo expensive. perhaps the price will drop a bit once the nokia E90 is released (end of this month from what i have been hearing).

for me its a choice of of the following:

-advantage
-E90
-E61i

E61i has a very favorable price tag which i may got for eventually. but the black advantage looked really sweet!

[Nara-e-Mastana]

yes, virtual key board is awesome....and arabic on it would be just perfect....I do not carry keyboard...only advantage...

Well I also thought about E90...but I was unable to make comparison....because one is symbain and another runs windows-5...there are thousand things that we can run on WM OS....that we can not on symbian....E-90 will only play movies in MP-4 and rm version (this sucks).
It is having the same GPS chip and software that N95 is having and tell you what, GPS on N95 is hopeless and a major disappointment.

I heard the way we play on multiple programs on Advantge, it is not possible very effectiely on E-90 because of low speed process and RAM. There is no TV output as well....and Mirco soft office compability and syncronization with E-90 is horrible as well.

So for me....HTC Advantage was the only choice and I am happy with it :) I just miss arabic on it though :)

WoW, that's a very good price. Did you receive it already? :)

[LTxda]

Yes I got all three units in already. That vendor is great. No complaints at all and explained everything when I had questions. I would recommend them to everyone.

[djsell@earthlink.net]

If you were to purchase one.I would say get it from David.As of right now this is the lowest price found :http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=147445
Total is :$1,050.00.David will match the price of the cheapest like i stated before.And if you need accessories for the X7500 ,if it is on mobile planet he will sell the merchandise to you cheaper(alot cheaper!!)Than what you find on their site.So make that plunge!!!

I actually was going to purchase from them,because they state on their website that if you find merchandise cheaper somewhere else,they will match the price.The only thing is that i could not locate a phone number,address etc. anywhere on the website.Only an email address.When you are transferring that kind of money,you would like to speak to someone on the phone or have your nerves be at ease by knowing for a fact that it is not a scam.Same complications arose when the outbreak of the JASJAR arose.There were several people making ficticious websites scamming people.They also were price gouging people(charging 70.00 for shipping).So for me i like to speak to someone on the phone as well as be able to know that they are well established.No offense my friend.

Agreed. That's why I emailed them asking for the number and got a prompt reply with it. I wouldnt have ordered if I didn't have a number. I think the guys name Stan. Hope this helps.

even though it's still expensive :D

do u think The price will drop down a bit?

I got my JasJar when it was released about 1150$ and to be honest I don't want to pay this price on a Pocket PC again :D

of course it will drop, it's hard for any electronic not to drop the price, at least you are sure the price on ebay will drop quite a lot in a few months, the thing is are you welling to wait this long? personally i can not wait, therefore i always pay quite a lot for the device, it's your choose :)

yeah exactly, but I don't think I can wait...even I can't afford it now :D

so I must wait cause the second reason is superior :D

but do u think it will drop by this fast? cause the JasJar took along time to drop a bit!

it seems like it's not going to drop in the short time, i would say it might take 2 or 3 months for it to drop, but that's just my guess.

www.egadgetdepot.com just lowered their price to $1159.00. STAN has always provided excellent customer service. I bought my TyTN from STAN and I am buying a X7500 today.

the price for Advantage is about $1000 right now, so everything higher then that it's likely to drop to 1000, but that's it, won't go lower for a while

I've actually seen it on a site for less than $800 but they are not in stock.

[NeoCole]

Everyone is talking about lower prices, but where are they? Links please! :-)

Yes it will drop.When the JASJAR came out the highest retail value i found was 1,200 with shipping.The lowest was 1,150 with shipping.I waited 2 months and i was able to purchase for 900.00 USD even with overnight shipping.If you want the best you have to pay the money.Im waiting on the Shift ,then my onslaught will be complete
