Reviews of the Pharos GPS Phone 600e

CNET Review
The Good: The Pharos GPS Phone 600e features a slim design and integrated GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It also has a 2-megapixel camera and an FM radio.
The Bad: The 600e is expensive and doesn't come with navigation software. Call quality was also subpar.
The Bottom Line: The Pharos GPS Phone 600e isn't a horrible smart phone, but the lack of navigation software and subpar call quality detracts from its overall appeal. Plus, you can get more for your money with other GPS-enabled smart phones.

Review Summary: I might not buy it as a first-line phone, but for combining ultra-reliable GPS location and navigation with a certain amount of voice and data connectivity, I can certainly see the appeal in the Pharos.

Review Summary: The Pharos GPS 600 reminds me of a sofa bedit's neither a great sofa nor a really good bed. But it scores points as a versatile, unlocked smartphone with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS capability.
