Opera Mobile 9.5 was announced back in February 2008, but has yet to appear for download. It is just starting to make its way onto new Windows Mobile devices and the HTC Advantage X7510 (2nd generation) comes with Opera Mobile 9.5 integrated into the ROM. This mobile web browser is outstanding and provides more functionality than the rather revolutionary Apple iPhone browser.

The HTC Advantage X7501 was just made available at U.S. retailers like CompUSA and Amazon starting at US$850. This Windows Mobile 6 Professional device packs in everything, but the kitchen sink and after just a couple of hours with the device I found it does many things very well.

The one area lacking ease and simplicity on the HTC Touch is in regards to text entry. There are 3rd party alternatives and I show how Spb Full Screen Keyboard and the excellent MessagEase methods work quite well on this amazingly small device.

The Wibrain B1 is an ultra portable PC running a full version of Windows XP. The device has an amazing high resolution display and an interesting split QWERTY keyboard. There are some great navigation functions on the device, but it is a bit thick and the fonts may just be a bit too tiny.

HTC greatly improved the photo viewing experience on the HTC Touch Dual, so much that some aspects are better than the iPhone. You no longer have to use the lame Photos & Videos app on Windows Mobile. This video was shot with a Nokia N95-1 while I was traveling so please forgive the quality.
