HTC Advantage X7510 Update 16GB

HTC Advantage X7510 Update 16GB. HTC has unveiled the updated version of its smartphone at the Mobile World Congress. Taking advantage of the lower memory prices, HTC has come up with a 16GB version of the Advantage. But that’s not it, HTC has also improved the keyboard, which is now easier to type on because it is bigger and uses haptic tactile feedback.

HTC Advantage X7510 Update includes:

+ More storage - 16GB instead of 8GB
+ Different haptic feedback keyboard
+ Opera Mobile 9
+ Google Maps
+ An updated version of VueFLO using a G-sensor that recognises the screen orientation
+ HTC TouchFLO software for easier finger navigation
+ HTC Home today screen which provides "one-touch access to emails, text messages, missed calls, calendar appointments and contacts, as well as current weather conditions and forecasts for hundreds of cities around the world."

The X7150 also has updated HTC VueFLO, so that it detects the device's orientation and rotates the screen. The rest of the hardware remains the same as the earlier Advantage: Marvell PXA270 624MHz and Qualcomm MSM 6275 processors, 5-inch VGA screen with 3-megapixel camera, GPS (with TomTom Navigator 6), ATI video acceleration, 256MB ROM / 128MB RAM, tri-band HSDPA, quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE, magnetic QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a "future version of Windows Mobile," which we're taking to mean Windows Mobile 6.1.

Looks like the new battery has about 5 percent less capacity, but we guess that the flash drive should make up for that difference.

Everything else is pretty much the same and it's kinda fair to expect HTC will update the software of the existing Advantage through the future firmware updates. In the meantime, you'll have to wait for March this year, when HTC said it will start selling the new Advantage in select countries across Europe, no price or specific date give, though -- and yes, US users are out of luck (for now).
