Pharos Traveler 137 now available

Jun 6, 2009 gps navigation, phones

Pharos Traveler 137 which we first announced back in January of this year is now finally available. Traveler 137, is a Windows phone that gives you 3G connection speeds on both T-Mobile and AT&T networks. However you won’t even need any of those networks for your GPS navigation software which is capable of voice-prompted navigation. Pharos Traveler 137 will be offered unlocked so you can plug in any SIM card local to your region to avoid roaming charges.

The Traveler 137 is supposed to be already available on amazon and newegg but we didn’t find them there just yet. Your other options are Dell.com, eXpansys.com. Pharos Traveler will go for $600 but if you sign a two year contract you can get one for $250.

The Traveler 137’s ultra-sensitive aGPS gives users the ability to navigate quickly; its high speed 3G capability brings a world of information to users’ fingertips; its touch-and-sweep interface on a crisp WVGA screen makes using the powerful Windows phone fun and easy
