HTC’s almost UMPC gets a price in UK

Remember the HTC Athena, then the Ameo and later the Advantage, yes looks like T-Mobile like the Ameo better than the last heard Advantage branding. Reg Hardware reports the device is ready to be launched and priced at a mere £120 (~US $235), of course this is with the right plan. This is a sweet deal.

    To get the £129.99 price you have to cough up £52.50 a month for 18 months for the Flext 50 web ‘n’ walk plan. That’s unlimited web (within boundaries - read their T&C) but I still don’t think it’s real “sweet” (100 bucks a month!).

    Perhaps £349.99 up front and £22.50 a month for the Flext 20 plan is more palatable.

    @Krip: I hear you, but let’s look at what the people in US would get with the iPhone. Say the 8Gb iPhone (may be a sleeker and pretty much same features), but with only a touch screen keyboard and NO 3G would have to throw down a whopping $600 on the phone with 2years of agreement with $40 per month, but if you want to use all those features that iPhone has you have to be subscribed to plan no less than $80 a month.

    So what do you think?
