The Brand HTC Advantage looks to be a wicked phone. I will definetely have to save up my paper route money 
to buy one of these. The crazy features included are a standard 8 gig hard drive, Push technology, Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition. It sports the ability to utilize HSDPA services which is a plus for many data plan owners. For those without a carrier it has the ability for 802.11 b/g connectivity. This mighty monster might be next replacement for a phone if the become availble in the US. I might have to turn one of my grey market dealers and get this bad boy imported. Currently on the HTC website to win of these pretty HTC Advantage phones. The only catch is the phone contest is for western European 
sorry rest of the world. I Wonder if one of UK my readers minds me using one of their addresses for the contest. Definetly be on the look out for more on this phone.
