[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jumpup:
Hi, all!

First off, this is the same template I've posted on a few forums that I frequent. It states a lot of obvious with regard to the phone, so bear with me. If anyone's interested, let me know. Thanks!

Please review my eBay feedback and be confident in doing business with me. I can also provide references from other forums (Craigslist Atlanta, Aximsite, MobilityToday, NotebookReview, TabletPCReviewSpot, Racketboy). I also have a Heatware account, though it was just recently created.

So, why are you selling?

I move around mobile with an AT&T 8525 and a Sony Vaio UX380N. I had been keeping up with news on the HTC Advantage, and I thought this may be a great way to only have one device for all that I do. It was a decision between this and the UX, and the UX won. The main reason is that I have _quite_ a lot of investment in UX accessories, and I could not find sufficient replacements for Windows-native applications that I'm required to use in my line of work.

The phone is like a wet dream, though. I just can't afford to keep both devices for the sake of other financial obligations and to not piss off my wife. Some of you can relate :).

The phone was purchased from Dynamism on Wednesday, August 15th. I will officially transfer ownership and warranty privileges to the buyer.

This is the X7500 unit *WITH* the front VGA camera. The unit is GSM Unlocked and upgraded to Windows Mobile 6. The radio is unlocked as well. I used Olipro's unlocker to accomplish this. The Windows Mobile 6 ROM was for the Dopod U1000 (a rebranded HTC Advantage). I customized the ROM with what was needed to access the AT&T Wireless network _including_ 3G.

The bare screen was never touched. A PocketPCTechs screen protector was installed prior to use of the unit. This is just a thing that I have with protecting the screen. The photos indicate how well the screen protector presents the crisp and vibrant display.

In addition to all the packaging and accessories that come with the phone, I am including a brand new, blue Piel Frama leather case. Some of the photos demonstrate how the phone fits in this case.

The unit and all accessories are in completely mint condition. Features include:

All pack-in accessories and documentation (Wired headset, AC adapter w/Euro power adapter, USB sync cable [not pictured], HTC authentic leather case, spare stylus, HTC branded screen protector [unused], VGA output adapter [not pictured], TomTom, Installation CDs

Data support: 802.11 b&g wifi, Bluetooth, Edge, 3G

Integrated GPS

3 Megapixel camera and front VGA cam (reportedly works perfectly as a Skype webcam)

Detachable keyboard with magnetic stand - enough power to hold the phone by the keyboard itself

NEW Piel Frama blue, handcrafted leather case
