The HTC Advantage X7500 series were a collection of mobile phones that sold under the HTC Advantage X7500 or HTC Athena label. They were a Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone Edition based smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC. The Athena was sold by T-Mobile US under the name T-Mobile Ameo.[1] The Ameo launched in Europe in March 2007.[2] It was also sold under the Dopod brand as the Dopod U1000.

The HTC Advantage X7501 is a Windows Mobile 6.0 version released in July 2007 as an OEM unlocked GSM phone by CompUSA and Amazon.com primarily for the North American market as a Pocket PC.[3] It does not have the second camera which the Advantage X7500 has for videoconferencing.

The HTC Advantage X7510 is an updated version of the X7500, featuring Windows Mobile 6.1 "Manilla" Professional Edition, a solid state drive, and a 16GB flash drive. The X7510 model also brings back the secondary VGA camera on the screen side for videoconferencing.
