According to an email I just received from Amazon,  it looks like HTC accidentally sent some of its WM6-running Advantage units (X7501) out the door with pre-production software. Exactly how many devices were released prematurely is unclear, but the problem does not seem specific to Amazon’s inventory. Owners who purchased their Advantages from CompUSA, for example, have been complaining about several pieces of missing software and a splash screen showing the words “Test Only – Not for Sale.”

Um… oops? Where the heck is the Quality Control on the $1000 PDA/Phone? Bah, who am I trying to kid. We all know that Windows Mobile is nothing but one big long string of pre-production software dating all the way back to CE, it’s just that someone this time forget to remove the label.

Anyway, hit the link below for a copy of the email received from Amazon and a few more details.
