Reviews of the Pharos Traveler GPS 137 (unlocked)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Pharos Traveler 137 features a bright touch screen and ships with navigation software and maps, so there's no need for a location-based service. The smartphone also offers 3G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 5-megapixel camera.
The Bad: The Traveler 137 is sluggish. The navigation software is unintuitive and didn't always provide accurate directions.
The Bottom Line: While better designed than the Traveler 127, the Pharos Traveler 137 still suffers from performance and navigation issues.
