HTC's first ulocked phone for the US market will hit retail later this year. The Advantage is a bit on the large side for a phone, but sports a very impressive array of features.

"With a five-inch screen and an ingenious slide-out QWERTY keyboard that's also removable, the Advantage offers an array of connectivity choices including GSM/GPRS/EDGE, HSDPA/UMTS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. Offering an 8Gbyte hard drive, 256Mbyte ROM, and 128Mbyte RAM plus eight hour of battery life under normal use, it's designed as a laptop substitute for brief trips when mobile professionals don't wish to carry a laptop.
