I'd change the keyboard so that the sound could be disabled while keeping the vibration feedback it offers. I would put either a joystick or scroll wheel of some sort on it. Flush mounting the display would make it far more finger friendly, too.

If I'm really gonna ask for the starts, I'd make the keyboard slide out and somehow permanently attached. The device is just so bulky with the leather cover on, and the magnetics are not strong enough to keep the keyboard in place without it (it will slide off when removing it from a pocket, for example).

Nice device, but really few scenarios where it makes sense.]]>Aug 8th 2008 11:03PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/08/penny-for-a-thought-htcs-advantage-x7510/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/08/penny-for-a-thought-htcs-advantage-x7510/Aug 9th 2008 9:26AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/08/penny-for-a-thought-htcs-advantage-x7510/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/08/penny-for-a-thought-htcs-advantage-x7510/
Most useful input on the machine!

As for people who gripe it's too big, if you scrap the useless keyboard and just use stylus input, then it fits into your pocket, barely.

How would I improve the 7510?
Joystick
32 or 64GB SSD
Silicone case for carrying without KB
Drop the stupid magnets
Real VGA mod, as standard
Netfront Browser v3.5 (this is Steve Jobs wet dream of a browser)
TomTom maps and software included as standard

Anyway, whenever I pull this out to take a photo, jot some notes or video, people ALWAYS ask about it. Everyone is impressed.

Ultimate power PDA and laptop replacement. Whatever happened to convergence devices? Only HTC has the ballz to make one.]]>Aug 9th 2008 11:51PM
