The Advantage by HTC is either the biggest smartphone in the world or the smallest laptop, depending on your point of view. Called the perfect device for three days on the road (who comes up with these statements?), the very portable Advantage sports a 5-inch screen with a magnetically connected QWERTY keyboard. Running Windows Mobile 6, it includes Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile for e-mail, calendar and contacts.

The Advantage has loads of connectivity: global 3G, tri-band UMTS/HSDPA, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi. In addition, the HTC Advantage has a built-in GPS which can be upgraded with TeleNav. There's also a mini SD card slot for additional apps and music. It's available now for $900. The question I have is: What if I'm on the road for five days? — Ken Sander
