advantage

The new HTC Advantage is almost here, and is currently available for preorder. But while the official price wasn't announced yet, various electronic retailers set their own prices:

• Clove Technology (UK) - 595 GBP;
• eXpansys (UK) - 700 GBP;
• GearTrade - $800;
• Smart Mobile Gadgets and On The Go Solutions - $1300;
• Mobile Planet (now eXpansys-USA) - unknown;
• PrestoMart - $550;
• Couchtatergames - $699;

It's your choice, but we'd suggest you to wait until they announce the real cost of the handset.

HTC Advantage fans will be glad to hear this. HTC has unveiled the updated version of its Advantage smartphone at the Mobile World Congress.

Here's a list of changes made:

• 16GB of storage instead of 8GB;
• Different haptic feedback keyboard;
• Opera Mobile 9 Browser;
• Google Maps;
• A new version of VueFLO using a G-sensor that recognizes the screen orientation;
• HTC TouchFLO software for easier finger navigation;
• HTC Home Today screen.
