Is Athena Pocketable? - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

As some of you already have the Athena, can you please comment on the size of it? A huge decision whether or not I buy this incredible device is whether or not I can fit this in my pocket.
I am not asking whether or not it is comfortable to wear in side jeans/pants pocket or if it looks dorky, but rather want to know whether it does or not. If someone could take pics of it in pocket, that would be really cool.
I am sure others have the same question.
Thanks.

personally, i think if you mind the size, then don't get it, it is a fact that this device is the biggest PDA or Phone ever, so if you mind the size, think very hard for it.
In the other hand, if you just want lots of function and good spec for this device (like me), then this device is for you.

I personally only want it for technical and professional uses only. My BT headset is the way to go ^^... If you are looking only for a phone/incoming/outgoing calling purpose then this is not it. This is a Pocket PC with built in quad band and GSM SIM whatever you know. So if you are lookin for some bling bling nice lookin phone go for motorrola or nokia or maybe even lg prada or smaller. You are in the wrong place if you lookin for flip phones and other stuff. Well personally i think the smallest phone is my BT headset. All i do is keep the athena in the pocket or in my briefcase and it is powered by a huge battery and doesnt heat up since backlight is off. So i just recieve and make calls using the BT Headset... its truly the bling bling. Plus i dont carry my laptop because i have my Athena (smallest laptop). So there we go Athena + headset is truly a bling bling ^^ where style matters.

I am a techie and like all the functions it has. I do not care so much for smallness, I currently have a TYTN and think its not big at all.
HTC's website says its truly pocketable, but many people say the opposite.
Just trying to understand the size in context to a pocket.
FYI - I would use a BT headset.
Thanks

If you dont want the screen to break dont put it in your pocket. Simple. You are kinda bending the device by putting it into your pocket. Since most of use wear Jeans or Khakis/Pants... it is really not comfortable in the pocket. Imagine some 6 inch book in your pocket. exactly it feels weird! also you are bending the device in your pocket atleast in the jeans unless you decide to put it in the shirt pocket... gawd too many pockets. anyways there is a 60% chance that the screen will break in your pocket. Just a warning.

I found this on the internet, while obsessively searching google for Athena/U1000/Advantage/Ameo Pictures.

i guess it's not that big.

Thanks, it is acceptable to me. Now I'm gonna get one.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
I just wish it would vibrate now. Any software can make this thing vibrate?

No vibrate hardware...
So I think there's no such software to make it vibrate.
May be the sollution is:
But JABRA BT8010, it have vibrate, lcd, it's stereo etc
(I'll buy that jabra if my athena arrive...

You would not want it to vibrate so close to the Micro Drive anyway..not a good idea over time.
BTW, unless you wear skin tight Jeans, it will fit into the front pocket of that too. I do it, and even drive with it in my pocket...not uncomfortable at all.
Don't use supplied case with it though, as the extra thickness will change things.

I'm also still considering if I could live the size of the device before buying it.
I would also like to put it in my pocket, because I do not carry along a briefcase. Given the bulk of the keyboard and leather case, I would like to leave them at home, and rely on the protection skin mentioned by one of you guys. I don't mind looking foolish when answering the phone call with a brick like device, so I will not use a BT headset, as that means extra thing to carry.
The only questions that still bother me is whether or not I could easily lower the volume when answering call, and whether or not I can without the keyboard answer, make, reject, redial, and terminate call.
Could anyone enlighten me on this?

The actual picture to compare
This is the picture where U can compare it to the Universal (mine )
Picture taken at CeBIT show this year....

I've still got my Exec and I do miss the more responsive keyboard and numeric row, but I am getting used to the layout of the Ameo's keyboard and its shortcomings. It's a little annoying that it doesn't follow most of the rules of normal keyboards like the Exec does, but I've also found when I have the phone in tablet mode (without the kb) the larger-buttoned version of the on-screen keyboard does the job quite well and I can even compose texts or emails in almost the same time as on the Exec.
These kind of phones are never primarily about convenience and it's a price you have to pay for the many advantages and extra things they can do.

Krusell case for XDA2

I got it today and very pleased with it. Very nice for everyday use mostly as a phone. I can still type short messages and browse, but for heavy typing I am taking it off and using Krusell horisontic case.

Did you notice how the buttons don't quite line up correctly? I had to 'modify' my case and enlarge some of the holes to make the buttons easier to press.

I decided to order another type of krusell case, because of two things with this plastic/leather case you bought.
1. It´s hard to press the buttons and use the screen properly without taking it out of the case.
2. The plastic will get dirty quite easily.
3. The attention drawn to the device, as it is widely open is not wanted.
Risk of getting it stolen is multiplied by many.
So i bought this one instead:

I too bought this one & am very happy with it. The clip on flap that covers/protects the camera lens is genious!
Good job Krusell
Yeah, krusell shure know how to make highquality and wellthoughtthru leather cases!
That´s swedish quality all thru :wink:

hi, sorry if there are any confusing
that message is meant for skenliv
and that krusell case (flip with clip) does come with the phone.
i don't know about imate, but O2 ones does have it included
Does it have the Krusell sign on the front?.. If not, it´s the standard case that comes with every XDA II Phone. And it is REALLY bulky and missfitting. This one is alot smaller in size, alot better quality and the flip is not down (as with the suplied case) but on the Krusell its down.
What do you think of this one,
plastic made but nice
i guess it s a better protection plastic is harder and anti choc
can be find here :
http://www.javoedge.com/simtrix/pro...Id=169&productRef=PSKN-71112-00&category=SKIN
Nice, good idea.
But it´s not very well protected, what about the screen?
The most important part of the XDA II.
They should have some protection for it to.
And you cant holster it on your belt, because there is no beltclip.
And besides, it has the same problem as the case at the top of this thread.
It gets attention, and will probably be stolen easily.
(especially where i live, to many rich people).
Cyberbob.
Does the plastic cover have a screen protector with it??!

no, it does say krusell on it, it say O2 on it

Yes it has a plastic protection for the screen thin enough to use it with the stylet.

HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control

Hey guys, I got a product for review that I thought was really cool.. not only is it a 3.5mm adapter but it turns any headset into a handsfree kit as well. and it's cheap, from my time with it I've found it seems to be good quality and should last quite a while..
While the title is 'HTC', it's not an HTC branded product.. just can be used for them..

Snippet:
"The HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control is from our friends at USBFever and it's really three things in one, a mini-USB to 3.5mm jack adapter, volume control and a microphone. This little gadget essentially lets you turn any headphones or earbuds you have into a handsfree setup. There are many choices out there for handsfree sets but really most have sub-par headphones included with them, and it's usually only one earpiece, with this gadget from USBFever you get to use your own headset. Being able to use any headset is very nice indeed, also you can get this for about $15.00 shipped to you from USBFever, so not only is it very useful but very inexpensive and well worth it..."
Full review HERE
Sorry if someone thinks this is spam or whatever, but I get quite a few things for review for my AT&T Tilt and there are a few that really stand out as being useful and this is one of them that I thought I could share
That looks pretty interesting. I was looking into buying the Seidio version, which has one of those spring-wound cords, making cable management easier. That being said, I like the button layout and clip mechanism on this one more... I think these are much better than the regular USB to miniplug adapters though, as it means you can essentially make your own earphones/buds a 'headset' thanks to the built in mic. In-line volume control is also a godsend...
I had one of those in the box, arent they standard ?

No, that's ok.. just curious.. but it's just like the TytnII all kinds of stuff comes with it, but nothing comes with the Tilt, even though it's basically the same phone
don't know why ATT decided no to include the same things, it's the same price
well I guess I do know why, money..

I thought the Tilt came out to be cheaper, unless service charges add up to the same price eventually...
The only thing I don't like about both the Seidio and this one is that because the USB connector end is L shaped the stylus becomes harder to remove and insert while this is in use. The straight ones, on the other hand, have a tendency to dislodge and/or break eventually. I think I'm going to go with the Seidio one though, even though it costs around 3 times the price, mainly because of the spring loaded cable control mechanism.

The stylus clears the jack fine for me, the end is flexible and just bends out of the way.. as for retractable, I personally don't like those retractable cables that much especially for something like this.
I've got the retractable Boxwave mini-sync cables and those are fine for that use but I don't care for them when used like this, it's too easy for you to pull on it accidentally and it to spring back in

That makes absolute sense... now you've got me reconsidering what to purchase... any chance of finding one of these on Amazon? I need international shipping to be specific, as I live in Turkey.
While obviously due to the direct connection the volume on these is bound to be better than a bluetooth headset (which is what I currently use and also why I want a wired headset), does the in-line volume control degrade the volume or quality even at its highest setting? I ask because I used to own a headset that I used on my PC with an in-line volume dial and even at maximum volume, I could tell the difference between one with in-line volume control and a headset without one...
USBFever sent it to me for review, and they run all items with $2.99 shipping worldwide, so I assume that means $2.99 to Turkey as well
so it's $12.99 + $2.99 Shipping = $15.98
http://www.usbfever.com
direct link: http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=301
as for volume, I personally don't crank it to the max but I hadn't noticed any distortion, I used it for about 6 hours yesterday actually while working outside my house and did have it up loud to help drown up noise, but not to the max setting... as for the two separate volumes you need to adjust each one independently of the other, like I would set the inline to max and then adjust my phone itself to comfortable max volume, and then I can lower and raise the volume in line without problems

What do I have? or what have I reviewed? I don't sell anything.. I review many types of products and since I got the Tilt/Kaiser I got a bit of stuff for that for review as well..
The stuff I got was from Boxwave, USBFever and Krusell so far for review, with more hopefully on the way
The ones I've posted so far can be found on my site HERE under 'Mobile Related Products' if you're interested. The top eight are the ones related to the Kaiser
I've got a few more yet to post as well, got the Krusell Orbit with Multidapt for car, another cool little mini-usb adapter, it's got three connections on it, and I've got one of the Tri-Force style styli from Krusell
Youve got some great reviews, mods and whatnot up there on your site, I'll have to spend a weekend going through it , and nice links as well. Congrats on a thoroughly well-done job there...

Touch HD QWERTY SLIDE-OUT!! PICS!

UPDATE 2/14/09- HAHAHA!! I LAUGH AT THE VERY FIRST COMMENT POSTED!!!! IT SEEMS OUR DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE WITH THE NEW HTC MODELS LEAKED!!!!! So i guess all of our hard work and wishfull thinking has finally paid off. The only thing to really worry about now is whether HTC will hold true to the leaked hype and deliver to ATT a touch Hd variant with a full qwerty in true Iphone killer fashion. I WILL BE CHECKING ALL WEBSITES FOR ANY NEWS ON MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS '09 NEWS AND HTC-RELATED PRODUCTS. If we dont see this screen on the leaked models at MWC 09 then im definitly saving up for the Toshiba TG01!! keyboard or not, a 4.1" screen with full divx support outta the box!!? now thats an end all to smartphones for sure!! keep ya posted on all the new pics if we get any. Plus ill try to create some better quality Photoshop pics of the leaked HTC phones so we may be able to have a better resolution. thanks all for the poll responses!!!
Update!!! Ok so ive been working on the 3D model for this concept. I finished pretty much everything i wanted to do. The look is there. hopefully someone over at HTC is checking these pics out. It took me a total of about 3 days to model out this phone. and it was fun to decide the final look. overall i would say it should be no thicker than the tilt. hopefully with new tech it will be thinner. aside from that i thought it would great if the front buttons were only visible when the screen was on, seeing as how they are not physical buttons. and maybe they could all be configurable to different icons, almost as if they were on a small led screen so you could give them a custom look. the camera is now flush with the back, which is how i think it should always be. maybe physical limitations are to blame for the official design. i hope all you guys like it. I might consider putting together some models of other concept phones in the future. maybe an Iphone with a slide out QWERTY k/b!! hehe. just kidding. who knows. hope you all like them.

For me it is a fake PS and this model will never happens.
I do not think that they are will release a qwerty model as it is directly competing against the iphone and they do not want it to be thick.
I'm hoping you're wish will become true...
But we always want more... : http://www.mobilecowboys.nl/mobilerumours/8263
they are fake, I made them!! just wishing they will come true. someone needs to make thinner keyboard hardware and thinner slide-out hardware. my tilt still feels like a brick. and the touch pro? that is a joke. too thick for me. thats why i made these. my Dreams!
Thats clearly Photoshopped
I think a HD, with Qwerty will just become to bulky to be really really attractive..

And after they got the keyboard attached they will add a fingerprint scanner, tv-tuner, wimax, surround sound speakers and hdmi.
I think this is already one of the best phones HTC ever built if it is as good as it looks. The only true iPhone-killer so far I think. Of course they can build a phone that suits everyone's needs but first of all they need to beat the competitiors before experimenting. I will probably buy it next year.
By the way, on the second picture in the lower part of the picture the keyboard is wider than the phone, so when you close it the keyboard will stick out on the other side.
Great tazbo28!!!
As a happy Universal user I always have been looking for a REAL succesor of the best PDA ever made!: Universal
And this work you done it´s exactly what I call the PERFECT uni succesor!!
I don´t know if this will become real or not but I´m having hope!!!!
Congrats!!!
That's the phone I'm waiting for. Why would the iphone have anything to do with holding back production of this type of phone. They could have the best of both worlds with the Touch HD (iphone killer for those people wanting it to be dead so bad) and the Touch HD Pro (for those people who really don't want to give up the use of a physical keyboard). That's how you could kill more than just the iphone. I'll be waiting.......hopefully this will be born someday.
It would probably sell but....
anyhow, your lighting is all wrong which is why it looks very fake.
It'd be good to see the Touch HD have a QWERTY keyboard.
You tried but u didn't photoshopped it well
I just hope this could happen in reality...it would be an all round iphone killer + a wonderful piece of device.
Oh Jesus! my post got hijacked and now, the whole world wide web is filled with your mock up picture of HTC Touch HD Pro and rumours that the PPC might be coming... damn,this is what the WWW could do

I saw this on at least one other website and I don't recall them recognizing it was faked by way of wishful thinking.... doesn't take much to "start" a rumor does it.
i had a wizard and a trinity. My conclusion: the keyboard is not used all the times, and anyway too small for real typing. I bought a bluetooth keyboard but never used it....
The best PDA Fake I ever saw was done with a HP 4200 I think. They detached the touch screen from that tablet PC and hooked it up to the Dell X51v's VGA-out and claimed that HTC got a new supersize pocketpc / tablet-whatever thing. Very funny fake since they did it on video which made it look even more realistic.
If they would make a foldable version they could compete with the E90, that's a very very solid pda in that part of the business world: weight doesn't matter, just quality, size and funtionality.
It is true..why cant HTC make a ppc with keyboard just like the E90 - i mean the one that closes and not slide :-?

It's a great fake ^_^ A Touch HD with keyboard, should be street priced about $1200 LOL

does anyone use the pouch?

I missed all my calls with the pouch on, simpilly cannot feel the "vibration". or am i the only one??
i did for about the first 30 minutes but then it became too much hasle taking it out evertime i wanted to look at the screen. i stuck on the screen protector instead.
I messed up my original screen protector because when I put it on it was slightly too big and there was an air-overlap at the bottom of the screen. I used the pouch to protect the screen until my brando one arrived.
Now I have rejected the pouch and can appreciate the HD to the max. BTW, the Brando is marvellous!!
I use it regularly, bit tight at first, but after some wear it's ok now.
Kept pressing the end call button while trying to get the phone out, but after a couple of calls you get used to getting it out right.
Bit worried about the pressure i have to exert on the top half when getting it in the pouch, i can hear the back cover click a little.
can you guys feel the vibration tho?
You absolutely feel the vibration, despite the pouch. What I dont like about the pouch is that its a flees/dirt magnet.

Yep, feeling it.
The pouch that comes with the phone....is the worst thing ever happened to mankind
Touch HD is a top notch device, however the pouch sucks. The pouch is more like something which belongs to a $50 device. Really can't grasp why HTC adds such a low grade pouch to such a high grade device.
Shame on you HTC!!
I really say this from the bottom of my heart. You have a great HIGH TECH product line, so don't go THAT CHEAP on the supplied accesoires and piss off your customers. Just a simple but very usefull - in the same class of the device - would be way more approporiate. Or, if that's too expensive, just leave it out - better than provide a fifth grade sollution.
Pardon my Englich but I think this is the very truth...

My pouch is much bigger after US Thanksgiving.
As far as the cheapo HTC pouch, it never crossed my mind to give it a try.
Considering most devices dont come with ANY pouch i dont think anyone has anything to complain about frankly. Similar priced devices give you nothing, no case and no screen protector.
No its not a premium case. but its good enough to protect your phone until you get a better one, should you wish to.
well maybe i'm the only one but I do like the pouch and I do think is very good...I think that is very good that HTC has provided us with a free pouch and a free memory card...
if you don't like it just don't use it but don't complain for something that is free...it's silly
there are many phones expensive as the HD that don't include anything more than the phone...

I like the pouch too, I use it mainly to transport it (eg when I bike to/from my work) and at work or at home I use it to place my HD on, which prevents the entire back of the frame from slowly scratching up, which happens to any other phone I've had. Also, it serves me as a cloth to clean the HD
edit: Yes I can certainly feel it vibrating through the pouch.

hum.... free memory card , you mean they released an expensive device to concurrence iphone but only 512 mo of stock memory .....it's just a normal way to make the deal more equal ..... and the pouch design is not good, it's hard to put in or out of the pouch ..... i work in fashion design and made my own leather pouch .....
I dont use the pouch as I cannot be bothered to take it out everytime I want to use the phone and I am not that anal about a few chips and scratches

thanks for letting us know!
The pouch got on my tits quite quickly but I found that I still had the original HTC case for my old TyTn II (Kaiser) and that it holds the HD perfectly whilst not looking like a cheap, naff bit of velvet.
It will do until something better catches my eye.

well said that man!
i can take my time finding one that i like thanks to HTC forward thinking.
I wasn't too happy with the thought of a pouch and screen protector bill.
now if only they could have fitted in a car cradle and charger
Perfect Pouch!
Guys, if you like to have a realy good pouch look at this one.
It's actualy made for Touch Cruise but it suits perfect on HD.
It's leather outside and soft on the insite.
IT's PERFECT FOR HD !!!

EASECASE Custom Horizontal Case for HTC Fuze

Below see pictures of the very nice case that was customized by EASECASE found through eBay. I will follow up over time with my opinions but before I weather the case I figured I would post pictures, so here goes:

Initial impression is the case is nice and as described. The materials and craftsmanship are above board. Coming from the HTC case that cam with my wizard I was due an upgrade and I instantly feel that I have moved several notches above that case. Magnets seem to be just strong enough. If they were stronger they would probably be overkill but I think overkill with a 500 dollar device is confidence inspiring. The hole on the bottom used to aid in retreiving the phone is a bit small for my mammoth hands. I am going to voice these concerns to the vendor to see what if anything can be done to appease me. I will keep you guys posted on the case as well as the customer service. To this point, I am very pleased with the service. The case was assembled and arrived here from Hong Kong inside two weeks during holiday season. The vendor was prompt with updates about assembly status and the date and time of shipment. I will post more as it develops.
Nice case. Too expesive for me. That costs more than my phone! (I got mine for $34). My case was $8 on ebay. Shipped. In the long run, I don't care that I got a cheap case, I could buy 5 and they'd equal the same amount of yours. But I won't need 5. So I'll save my money and buy something else
I always baby my toys and I can tell you that I looked for a cheap alternative and I could find none that actually "fit" the Fuze. Several Wizard/Hermes/Kaiser cases were being pushed at Raphael owners but the cases are simply too big in my opinion. I like form fitting version here. My tastes are modest, but these guys can do many texture and color combinations that are more austentatious than I could stomach. One can even select the thread color. Internally, the case can be designed with microfiber suede or suede in many colors as well. You select the clasp type and belt clip type as well. The case is shipped for free via airmail so 39.99 is the final price. I think it was money well spent, so far at least. I will let you know if my opinion changes in time.
I checked it out. Turns out, this is not the only type of case they offer! They have vertical, pouches, different types of horizontal lol. I like the form fitting, but if you search on eBay for "touch pro case" a lot of them come up and most of them fit the fuze.
I am still elated with this case. And, the fit and finish are still quite impressive. I contacted thet vendor and the guys have agreed to give me a new case with a larger hole. They didn't even request the other case as a return. This company is top notch and if you need the perfect case for your HTC Fuze then this is the way to go.

Sounds top notch. I'll buy one as a present for someone then and we'll see how it goes!
I have my username embossed in the front panel of the case. My wife has already commandered the case. For a while there I thought I was going to have one hell of a back up case... On the bright side I don't have to buy my wife one for her Fuze...
nice looking case, but you have to take the phone out of it to use the phone. to many steps for someone who is always using the phone in my opinion. there are many REALLY nice leather cases, but it just takes to much time to keep pulling it out each time there is a call or email for a power user in my opinion.
Thanks for posting the pictures. It really helps learning about the different options that are available.
I have never been one to keep the phone in my pocket, but even when I did, it was always more trouble to try retreive it from my pocket to field a call relative to a horizontal waist mounted case. Besides when I am busy with many calls I usually have my trusty Motorola H700 attached to my ear and as a result I don't even have to retreive the phone. If you don't mind my asking what is your favorite type of case, if you use one?

I also use my wireless headset, but still like to look at who is calling, lol. Or with emails have to look on it. with my blackberry phones in the past and now the fuze I have always been more of a skin person, then a carrying case person. My current case is this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459761 and I am looking at the Seido one also.
Do you use MSVC? I have it set to announce all emails and incoming callers. This reduces the amount that I have to take the phone out.

I feel you there. It should be possible to change the voice. We can do it with navigation software, why not MSVC...

You could always get a bluetooth watch That'd show you who's calling. Or get a headset with a display.
What seller did you buy from? I can't seem to find a case for the Touch Pro (Fuze) on eBay? This case is exactly what I'm looking for.
The seller is WiWayCN, and I should have given a link to the auction I purchased from: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=390007490992.
Wonderful! Thanks so much!
Did you order the suede lining, or the microfiber? Belt Clip B?
