Interior, operating system
Pharos uses the well-known Windows Mobile 6 Professional OS, which is extended by HTC with the TouchFLO user interface. The processor is a 200 MHz TI OMAP 850, which can be familiar from Touch for example, so we already know that it can run this system, but it’s still quite slow. Programs usually need a couple of seconds to start up, which will mostly be annoying for those who have been using a handheld with a faster CPU. Fortunately there is no problem with the size of the memory, as the PDA has 256 MB of ROM, of which 120 MB is user space. We have 77 MB for running programs, the rest of the 128 MB RAM is used by pre-installed software. The SDHC-compatible microSD expansion slot is under the back cover.
Pocket PC Mark yielded results appropriate for the hardware specs. File system mark is much improved compared to Touch, while the results of the graphical test have improved about 15 %.
