GPS, battery, summary
The built-in GPS receiver performed well, it found the satellites pretty fast and it didn’t loose connection if there was no real reason for it. On the software side we can use the pre-installed TomTom Navigator, but we can only download a single map file to this. I’d rather choose iGO, it ran on Pharos, though it wasn’t really fast.
The battery has a capacity of 1100mAh. Thanks to the low-consumption CPU, I managed to use the PDA for 3 days without problems.
Summary: Pharos didn’t convince me at all. There is a PDA with a cool exterior, it even has a GPS receiver, which would be basically good, but this is only a half-solution, as the slow processor cannot run navigation software as it should. In terms of data communication it performs very poorly, but there is the TouchFLO interface as a positive aspect, as well as the 128 MB of RAM. The current price for this is about 515 EUR, which is a bit rough, as we can get HP iPAQ 614c for less and it knows much more than Pharos. And if you’d like a TouchFLO device at all costs, than add another €320 and get a Touch Cruise-t.
