HTC Athena, what a name. I don’t like it at all and nor does the guys at Engadget, considering it the worst product name they’ve ever came across. Really guys, calling your product like that is not smart, reason for which HTC takes the 3GSM opportunity to re-brand it into HTC Advantage. This however is the code-name for HTC X7500 which still has a 5-inch VGA display, a 3Mpix camera, Bluetooth and WiFi, GPS and tri-band HSDPA, helped by Intel PXA270 624 MHz processor and with 8GB storage space on the hard drive. It has a very nice and powerful graphic card for a mobile phone, ATI Graphic Chip W2284 and also comes with 256 ROM and 128 SDRAM.

Now with a new name maybe they can market it better thanks to the specifications it has: 359g including the battery, laptop-like looks or Windows Mobile PC Phone Edition inside. T-mobile will the first to take measures against the Athena awful name and will try selling it as HTC Ameo from March 2007 in Europe.
