The camera is a 2 megapixel one, with fixed focus. We can make macro photos, as the lens can be manually rotated to a different position, where the focal distance is quite short, pictures become sharp from a distance of about 10 cm. The switch is very dumbly placed; it’s on the “objective”, so we have to touch the lens itself when switching to macro mode, so there is lots of cleaning to be done.
The software has nice features and exposure is fast too. We can set white balance, light measuring, jpeg-compression and we can put timestamps on the pictures. There are no effects, but the delayed timer and exposure correction are included, the latter can be set in a +/- 2 range.

The picture viewer called Camera Album is also included in the software pack. It still looks very stylish and it still proves that a multi-touch display is not necessarily required to have the functions from iPhone, although it’s true that the HTC application doesn’t provide the same experience as Apple’s solution. We can rotate and zoom pictures with our fingers, but zooming is a bit slow due to the CPU, but one can get used to it.
Our music tracks our played back by Audio Manager. It’s spectacular, it’s easy to use, we can filter tracks by artist, album and genre, it supports playlists, but there’s not equalizer. The included headset is of medium quality, sound is slightly distorted when played through the loudspeaker. Due to the ExtUSB port we have to use a converter in order to use an own headset, but those who have a stereo Bluetooth headset can be happy, as Pharos supports stereo Bluetooth (A2DP).
Because of the low performance of the OMAP chip, we cannot play back PC-optimized movies, so we have to convert them first, as movies with a lower bitrate can be viewed.
