HTC X7500 Unboxing
Too big to be called a true "Pocket" PC, and too small to be considered a full on laptop, HTC’s X7500 tries to bridge the gap between UMPC’s and smartphones. How do they fare? In my opinion not well, and here’s why. The HTC X7500 is large, but not that big where it’s not portable obviously, the problem I see is the price point. Averaging around $1200 when it’s finally available (E-Gadget Depot has em’ right now!), it’s the cost of a decent laptop, hell even almost an OQO 02. There lies the problem. For $1200 you get an amazing device that’s incredibly well thought out and constructed, I just don’t see who would use this darn thing. The QWERTY detachable keyboard is cool, not great. It lacks much needed tactile feedback and even though the magnet that attaches to the unit is strong, you have a limited viewing angle when using the keyboard or else the main unit will just fall off. Specs wise it’s on the forefront of Pocket PCs featuring a 624MHz processor, a whopping 8GB of internal memory, tri-band 3G/HSDPA, quad-band EDGE, a 3 megapixel auto-focus camera, and the list can go on and on. My final judgement is stick to a laptop, or save the $1200 and click on one of those annoying free iPhone advertisements and get an iPhone. No, you won’t see those ads here, you’ll have to goto a lower-end site to see those…

BGR - What about weight ! Do you compare the weight with LAPs and OQO. Can you take ANOTHER look. If you had the money….why not ?

big diffference between X7500 and OQO.
X7000 is a cellphone.
OQO is a computer.
