Unboxing the HTC Advantage 7510

This is going to be a much quicker unboxing than I usually like to do, mainly because it is almost 3am Texas time, and I have to be up in 5 hours to get ready for the next Mobius session. Anyway!

After our dinner tonight, Matt Miller, Ed Hardy, Joel Evans and I met up in Matt’s suite to geek out with our new HTC Advantage 7510s. I managed to capture the unboxing photos, which I wanted to take and post before I really started using the device tomorrow…

About Judie Lipsett Stanford

View all posts by Judie Lipsett Stanford
I have had a fascination with all types of gadgets and gizmos since I was a child, beginning with the toy robot that my grandmother gave my brother - which I promptly "relieved him of" in 1973. I have long been captivated by devices that did anything interesting or served a unique purpose - however silly. I can't tell you how everything works – but I am known world-wide for using a product until I have a full understanding of what it does, what its limitations are, and if it excels in any given area...or not.
  • Bjenk Ellefsen

    Matt’s smile says it all!

    I think it is safe to assume Judie will be using that 7510 for awhile!

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    Yeah, I think that is safe to say. :mrgreen:

  • Heatwave316

    Did the 7510 mention CDMA, like US CDMA for us lowly Verizon users???

    Any mention of price? $500/$700???

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    Well, here’s the problem. I don’t know that these will ever be easily or readily available in the US. They have the Qualcomm chip that held up so many other devices last year; I didn’t even find that out until last week, so I was planning on importing if necessary. These are so new that they say “Test Only, Not for Sale” when they boot. :-/

  • globecode

    Can you actually hold it to type on the keyboard or does it need to be sitting a desk?

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    globecode, there is a very strong magnet holding the keyboard to the Advantage, and you can definitely hold it and key. I’ll admit that the first few times you do it you might sweat a little, but it’s quite secure.

    Just can;t use this devices as a phone. I mean it is a phone and is capable, but it’s not normal to me. You almost HAVE to use this with a BT headset.

    It would be more useful as a data only device. I think that’s what I would do with it.

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    That’s exactly how I will use it. But the fact that it could be used as a phone in a pinch is very attractive to me. But there are certainly those who do use it as their main mobile phone – Aura Mae is one of them. :-)

  • globecode

    It’s too bad that the keyboard handle couldn’t be folded down so that the keyboard looks like the slide keyboard of the tilt.

    Can you add a sim card without powering down or restarting and it is recognized?

  • TrvlngDrew

    Wow! A real nice new toy! A little suprised its not WM6.1 and that they are sticking with the mini-SD format. We didn’t get the Advantage 7501 down here in AU so probably won’t see this one either.. :-(

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    Drew, it is 6.1! That list isn’t quite correct. ;-)

  • TrvlngDrew

    Glad to hear that, sure wish I had the time to have a look at the differences and see if its really worth waiting for updatess and what not.. I might just update my HTC TyTN II and carry on until 2009. So what are you working at this late hour? :-)

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    Oh Drew…I had a hell of a day. After lunch we went downstairs for an indoor golf session, and when we got back to the meeting room, my MBP was frozen. The hard drive was making a racket and I had to leave session early to hit the Apple Store’s Genius Bar. I need to write a post about what ensued…I don’t think anyone will believe it all.

    But needless to say, a less than three month old loaded out MacBook Pro suffering a massive hard drive crash in the middle of a conference sponsored by Microsoft was more than just a little bit ironic. ;-)

  • TrvlngDrew

    WOW!! Can’t wait to hear about that also considering the posts about all the Macs in attendance at Mobius.. Vellly Vellly intelesting.. :-(

  • Heatwave316

    Yikes Judie!!! Sorry to hear about the crash. Maybe the MS gives were giving off to many anti-mac vibes. I’m sure they’ll be more than willing to give you a hard time about the crash….:)

  • Aktopshooter

    Sweet device looking forward to the review I can’t believe this slipped by me I didnt really find out about it until yesterday that you guys received the units. I think I still will just buy the X7501 rather than this device I think I would miss the joystick

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    Ha, they were all super supportive. I will try to get the whole story written tonight, right now I am sitting at Seattle’s airport waiting for my flight. :-)

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    @AKtopshooter – I do miss the joystick; it makes no sense to me why it is missing. The keyboard is also missing some of the buttons that were on the 7500. I do like the haptic feedback on the 7510′s keyboard, however. I’m sure that there are plusses and minuses I have yet to discover, too.

  • http://geardiary.com Christopher Spera

    Hope everything turned out ok. was curious to know how things went with the MBP…

  • http://www.geardiary.com Judie Lipsett

    The went poorly, to say the least. I’ll write about it tonight after I get home. Getting on plane, soon…

  • TechWizard

    Judie – I know why your new MBP crashed – so did mine!

    WARNING: OWNERS YOU MUST READ THIS Love Hate Relationship! I love this powerful windows mobile device. Using real apps like Slingplayer, Fring, Tom Tom Nav 6 and Core Video player. I hate the fact that it took 2 hardrives in my Macbook Pro before i realize that I was sitting the device too close to the Mac hard drive. Why should this matter? Because of that HUGE keyboard Magnet. It totally ruined the hard drive and I had no clue what was going on until I recently thought thru my exact steps. – I sat the 7510 on the mac during a bluetooth transfer. WATCH OUT- Don’t put your 7510 in your casually in your bag next to your laptop either!!!! – HTC – you need a WARNING Sticker to let everyone know about this big problem.
