Well folks, if you wait till the end of Jan. 08, you may be able to pick up this gadget for around $600.00. That’s what some people in Fla. are getting them for. It all depends when they start their panic sales, before they close down the stores. Right now in NH, they were selling them for $899.99 minus 20% = $719.99. And of course, by mail order they are selling them at full price. The odds are that they will soon drop down the price by 30%
CompUSA is closing down all their retail stores, and will only do business via the Internet from now-on.

Looks like the “Advantage” would be a nice in-car installation. I assume it supports voice dial.

Guess it’s a decision of a real laptop with Vista, or a UMPC with Windows Mobile… decisions, decisions.

That’s one of the things I’ll have to work out if I can, but I can’t do it until I get the device. There’s a big thread on cases and carrying at xdadevelopers.com. I can say that I’ll probably use two phones. Since this is an unlocked phone, I’ll use it most of the time (work, etc.). When I’m just going out with friends, I’ll use whatever small cell phone I get from my carrier that easily fits in my pocket. That way I’ve got the best of both worlds.

You’re right though, this is an issue.

I ordered mine from Amazon within a few days of it being available. It should ship in the next week. It’s getting great press as a UMPC/phone combo. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

If I could find any possible justification I would buy it, but I can’t. But I still like it.

It’s been available at CompUSA for over a month already. Some even still had pre-prod software.

Amazon’s been selling it unlocked for $850 since the beginning of summer.

I want one…. Now how will the data connection work? Will we have to use our sim card or use a new one? I might just consider buying one but I want to know how the other (phone calls or mobile data) work? I have been looking at this as an option instead of a UMPC (even laptop).
