BGR's HTC X7500 Unboxing
Posted by Darius Wey in "ARTICLE" @ 06:00 AM
"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."
While the HTC Advantage failed to please the Boy Genius, he still managed to snap some sweet pictures for all to drool over; head over to the BGR for a look. Anyone here thinking of picking one up?
