Gear Diary (http://www.geardiary.com/2008/01/17/a-day-in-the-life-of-an-htc-advantage-user/) took the Advantage and tested to see how it would fair as a mobile workstation or a light workstation replacement, and it was quite impressive.
The HTC Advantage is one of the more feature-packed, although larger, HTC units available today. Those unfamiliar with the specifications can see the specs at PDAdb.net (http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=752). The reviewer found that there was a lot to like about the device. There were constraints, such as the inability to run native Windows applications, a small screen, and non-native Flash support. However, the VGA screen, ability to last a long time on a single charge, and the ability to connect to a larger display and keyboard with a dongle made it a good workstation for basic purposes like word processing, emailing, and browsing the net.
The article is a good read for those who may not need the power of a laptop or UMPC, but want the ability to perform basic tasks while on a trip. You can read the article here (http://www.geardiary.com/2008/01/17/a-day-in-the-life-of-an-htc-advantage-user/).
