We here at the Whack like gadgets which lead a double life and the HTC Athena X7500 falls into this much coveted category! The X7500 is not an UMPC, neither just a mobile phone! It is actually a Pocket PC Phone and on attaching the optional QWERTY turns into a bonafied personal computer on the go!

On the specs front; this is how it reads; 5” VGA (640x480 pixels) display (and TV-out), 8-10GB of Hard Disc memory and 624MHz Intel Bulverde processor. The HTC Athena X7500 will be available in two quad-band versions; the UMTS 850/1900 for our friends in the States and the UMTS 2100 for the European folks out there. Supporting HSDPA, one also comes across features like; Bluetooth v2.0, WiFi (802.11b/g/e), miniUSB, 3.5mm stereo audio jack with mic, : 6 hours of talk time; 300+ hours of standby; 8 hours of WMV video playback.

The HTC Athena X7500 measures 5.24x3.8x0.78 inches (133x97x20 mm) and weighs around 350 grams. It should retail in the US for around around 1500-2000 bucks.
