HTC Athena Advantage (X7501, Unlocked)

Pros: Very fast, beautiful screen

Cons: Big and pricey

Summary: This is the perfect device for a sys admin or hardcore gadget nerd. If you have a windows mobile device and find yourself wishing for a bigger screen, your wish has been granted. The screen is what makes the device special. VGA out is just a bonus. Slingbox in your pocket (well maybe not your pocket) at 640x480 across 5". Gotomypc in your pocket with font legibility on a 1024x768 host with mouse support via Bluetooth. Google maps with GPS. I can go on forever. If you spend a lot of time remoting into machines and are on call 24x7, this is a life changing device. The review will probably compare it to a laptop because it costs as much as an OK one and twice as much as a cheap one; but it isn't as powerful on its own. However, when this device is paired with Gotomypc or VPN+Terminal Services over 3G or WiFi, the possibilities become apparent for those of us who rely on those technologies. The size is only a problem if you don’t like carrying a bag. Don’t try a belt clip please. It’s unlocked so just pop your SIM in and you’re ready to go. The iPhone is more fun but if you need to get work done on your mobile, this is the phone to get.
