HTC Pharos, Greek for "Next, Please"
Posted by Paul Martin in "HARDWARE" @ 04:45 PM
"Our eyes! This fat little guy, bearing a face only a mother could love, is said to be the HTC "Pharos" (no, not that Pharos) with a date with destiny as early as March, making a CeBIT announcement a distinct possibility. It'll apparently go by the name P3470 in HTC's lineup, clearly shoring up the very, very low end of the company's line with a mere 200MHz TI OMAP850 core, 256MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM, Bluetooth, integrated GPS, and a 2 megapixel camera -- not terrible specs, we suppose, until you take a good, hard gaze at the darned thing. No word on whether it'll be crossing the pond, but we're not going to get too caught up on that one."
I'd have to agree with the Engadget take...not exactly a winner in the looks department. It only supports 2.5, so no 3G speeds and won't include wifi either. Regarding the possibility of TouchFlo, Ubergizmo says 'Yes' and Pcdebolso (Google translation) says 'No'. So, flip a quarter.
