HTC X7500 (Advantage) –Reviewed-
If you think this device is too big for a phone or if you are the guy who told me its one-handed use is terrible, please stand up. You are dismissed. You may go now. Thank you for your time.
Now for the rest of you, my intent in this review is to focus on the X7500’s usability.
There are really only two things about this device that make it different from other Windows Mobile devices. It has an 8gb hardrive, and most importantly it has a 5 inch screen. This is one of the most significant changes we have seen in a Windows Mobile device. There have been lots of innovative changes made to converged devices, but few in the area of mobile computing. With the X7500 I like to call it “non-desktop computing” The 5 inch screen enhances the viewing capabilities of Windows Mobile by leaps and bounds, as I will show later with screen shots and pictures.
Before I get too far into this review I want thank Paul and Igor of SuperiorGadgets for putting the device in my hands for a few days so I could review it.
The complete review is posted here:

Excellent review! I agree with nearly everything you stated. Thanks.
I love the color. The only reason I could consider giving back my Dopod U1000...

What's the phone signal like on the u1000? I had a universal qtek 9000 and the phone signal was always weak. I finally stop using it. The u1000 would have to have a good signal.

I am looking for a launcher plugin with large icons
cLaunch
try this:
http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html
is there any application which is "simpler" no needs for the tabs and pages...
just a quick launch plugin with large icons (thumb pressable) to quickly open some applications
tdLaunch
You may try this one:

but Claunch is really good, once you gey used to it
What is the GUI Skining application you are using that "!STILL!" shows the phone signal icon. Most GUI Skinning apps cover this info up! Please let me know I can't wait, so excited! :shock:

The picture is not a screen capture of hops's XDA but taken from oabsoftware. And you are right, I didn't notice this. We have to ask them what were they using when they took this picture.
yes please do! I see sometime people doctoring the display to make their product look nice but, it really gets a lot of people excited about something that does not exist I have seached long and hard and nothing seems to be able to do it without cover the signal bars :evil: so I thought it might be pocket blinds a new version but they still have the old one out from years ago no update, and it doesn't work. So needless to say my hopes are high here. So keep us posted I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting this 8)
I'm refering to these great widgets on your today:

It has been asked here and there over this forum, but this is the main area, so its better to ask here...
Any way we can get the rom to extract a cab or something? I dont think its hardware dependent, so it should work on our machines...
Anybody...?
PS: I think the iphone came and slap M$ and all the ppc makers right on the face with its 200mhz machines since 2003 and 64/128 low ram micro upgrades...
Now these great plugins start showing up here and there and machines suddently have 4 gb of rom, finally some long-awaited REAL upgrades!
I wonder if the rotation animations can be ported i mean even though you may not have a accelerometer it my still hide the usual lag.
Actually I was refering only to the gadgets...
The diamond album was easily re-used by other htc's, but you couldnt turn the images because you had no accelarometer, it worked fine without anyway...

did you know that if you go to pictures and video and then menu and options and click over a tab you can select a screen saver to run while you connect to the laptop..
and you can jot down a note on top of the picture using the transcriber and then click over to screen shot and make an awesome note with a picture background that you can send to your friends.
also axyz mobile makes a program called keep recordin' and since i like making music i can just play an mp3 in the windows audio player and record your voice at the same time, perfect for audio notes.
this is all for now.

If this is how Win Mob 7 gonna look like , then the wait is not worth it. Atleast looks wise. I expected much more out of Win Mob 7.

Don't judge a book by its cover and I'm not saying it's going to be great...
Those screenshots aren't that inspiring. I was hoping the finger-friendliness would be much more apparent. Scroll bars, tiny SIP buttons suggest a continued reliance on the stylus. Don't get me wrong, I like my stylus, but I'd rather it not be designed for.

The pics on top are wm6.5 and the pics below are supposed to be wm7. They are comparing the 2.
i have been looking at phones and have come across the XDA EXEC.
i was wondering the rough price that i should expect to pay for it.
Also wondering if this is upgradable to have windows 6.5 on as that would be pretty awesome.
I also know this phone is old so would there be anything i need to do to update it and are there any good games for this phone?
Thanks
Welcome to forums
You have made a great choice, Universal is one of the Best ever created devices, very advanced to it´s time and to date the best unbeatable REAL keyboard.
Yes, thanks to Chefs & Developers of XDA it is possible to upgrade to WM6.5.
Be sure to read the Wiki
And see here approximate costs.
Also check marketplace section, as once in a while you can get a great deal
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
could you post some images of windows 6.5
how fast does it run on windows 6.5
and could you put htc sense 2.5 on top of the windows 6.5?
But thanks so much for replying
Here how my Uni looks with WM6.5

It will run a bit slow but acceptable, I am using it with no issues.
you can´t install Sense 2.1 or 2.5 it will simply won´t work on Uni.
But if you are looking for a faster ROM better try Tomal 8.2, 8.5 or 8.9 all in WM6.1
Good luck,
is their anyway to get a flash browser on this device as that would be the cherry on top.
again thanks fort he quick reply!
