I currently use the htc advantage for almost all my daily work. The shift would be perfect for those times I actually need a full computer, although most of the time I would be using windows mobile.<BR/><BR/>That leads to the most important question in my mind, which version of Windows Mobile does it run and is it a full version? I did not see a start menu etc, but it could be under the front end. I would definately want to put a lot of programs on it to make it truly function as a pocket pc.<BR/><BR/>Along those lines, can the windows mobile program access the hard drive? If it does, not only would it be functional as a umpc, but it would contain more storage than any other Windows Mobile device.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
