Windows Phone Thoughts: HTC Artemis Reviewed

"HTC had already launched a PDA with integrated receiver GPS, G100 but which was not marketed officially in France and which very was not successful in terms of sensitivity GPS. And HTC manufacture PDAphones GPS iPAQ hw6515 and hw6915 for the mark HP. With P3300, HTC launches its first PDAphone GPS under its own mark and it is very awaited, us already showed you photographs on GPSAndCo."



French site gpsandco.com has just published a fine review of the HTC P3300, HTC's own designation for the Artemis. Sporting quad-band GSM, EDGE, GPS (SirfStar III with A-GPS), TomTom Navigator 6 (optional), and a funky trackball for the cursor, the Artemis is a little off the beaten track for HTC. Verdict: decent GPS sensitivity considering the internal antenna, and very small size; but the camera is average, free ROM and RAM are below average, and the quality of the accessories aren't up to scratch. A translation of the text is available here. The P3300 in Europe will retail in two bundles - a basic pack for €499, and a premium pack with TomTom, car holder, cigarette lighter charger,512MB microSD card, and maps of Europe on a DVD for €679.
