The new GSM communicator HTC P3470, also known as Pharos is the successor to the old P3300 model, which offers updated features at the same cost. It will be available in early/mid May at a price of $550-600. The only downside is the lack of FM radio and, especially, Wi-Fi connectivity, which is a deal breaker for some people. Anyway, HTC P3470 is truly one of the best communicators to date, and is a perfect replacement for the P3300. HTC P3470 Pharos Specifications: - Type: communicator;
