Steve - we still don't know the actual price of the Advantage yet, but I've seen it at $1200 US so far, with the expected price (according to a source here) to be almost $1100 US.

That pricing is within my budget. Now I just have to get one to see if it'll actually meet my needs as a PDA/phone. My other option right now if the Advantage doesn't do it for me for whatever reason, is the i-mate 7150 - if it ever materializes. Of course, if the HTC Shift were to come in around $1000 US, then that throws my plans all out of wack!

1100-1200 sounds to cheap the JJ came out at 1200 US, but lets hope your right

As for the shift dream on

While I was searching I found UBiQUiO 701 Ultra-Mobile PC sold at mobileplanet at $999.95

This is the link: http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=139195

Do you think this is a good offer? Any advise?

Funny I though I did already

Actually as secondary phone I think we can go for pure portability vs price. It does not need all the bells and whistlesas you will have this on your UMPC

Any good mid range phone to suit your style IMO

WM6 choice is a bit limted yet but give it a couple of months

Else

There are many bargins to be had on older phones
eg V3I/SE M600I/Smart flip/V3X/P310 etc

I think you should wait until new models roll out including HTC Shift

I guess so... I assume Intel is releasing some processor... and UMPCs are coming down in more numbers this may
