Pharos launches a GPS phone

Pharos has been known for their windows-based GPS devices for some time. I always believed that in the not so distant future, all phones would have an integrated GPS. Is this another sign of that convergence? This GPS phone is a GSM world-phone (based on an ETEN GloFish and not an HTC, as I said previously) and will also support WiFi and Bluetooth. No 3G, sorry. It will be sold “unlocked” for the relatively expensive price of $700 – wow, that’s expensive.

Obviously it will feature the Pharos Ostia (read review) navigation software that offers door to door routing and many other GPS goodies. Specs are below.
