Reviews of the Pharos Traveler GPS 127
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Pharos Traveler 127 ships with navigation software, so there's no need for a subscription-based location-based service. The Windows Mobile smartphone also offers 3G support, Wi-Fi, and a 2-megapixel camera.
The Bad: The smartphone can be extremely sluggish at times, and the Smart Navigator app isn't the most easy to use. Expandable memory is restricted when using the navigation software
The Bottom Line: While the Pharos Traveler 127 holds the advantage over most GPS-enabled smartphones by coming preloaded with navigation software, it loses any competitive edge it had due to sluggish performance.

Review Summary: Given their high up-front cost, unlocked phones are already a tough sell. It's even worse when one has as many shortcomings as Pharos's latest GPS-focused smartphone.

Review Summary: The Traveler 127 smartphone has cutting-edge GPS navigation software, but as a handset it's sluggish and uneven. Pharos will have to do much better than this to snag new customers.
