pharos

Dell Pharos Traveler 117 and 127 GPS smartphones that we've mentioned a while ago have been released today by the manufacturer.

Features include:

• Windows Mobile 6.1;
• Full GPS functionality;
• 3.5G support;
• Pharos Smart Navigator software;
• Turn-by-turn navigation with voice prompts;<

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.

Here is the first picture and some specs of the upcoming HTC P3470 Pharos smartphone.

• Windows Mobile 6 Professional OS;
• TI OMAP 850 200MHz processor;
• 128MB RAM/256MB ROM;
• 2.8" QVGA touch-screen;
• Bluetooth 2.0;
• GPS (NMEA 0183).

The Pharos GPS Phone 600 is a new full-featured WM6-based smartphone that combines GPS and cell phone functionality in a single device. It allows users to navigate to their destinations while staying in touch. The handset is compatible with most GSM operators, but if you are a T-mobile subscriber, you'll get a $200 discount on purchase.

Connectivity features include support for GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Wi-Fi networks for teal time traffic, email and web access, and Bluetooth technology for data interchange.
