| 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Difficult to Use and Most Non-Standard of Headphone Jacks, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Pharos Traveler 137 3G GPS Unlocked Phone with Quad-Band 850, 900, 1800, 1900 GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Turn-by-Turn Voice Guidance, Free Live Traffic, Gas Prices, Movie Times, WVGA Display, Wi-Fi, Stereo Bluetooth, FM Tuner, and 3.1MP Auto Focus Camera--International Version with Warranty (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory) In sum: If you want coverage independent navigation or T-Mobile 3G, you may consider this phone, but you must live with Windows Mobile and the most non-standard headphone jack imaginable.Pros: 1. Offers T-Mobile 3G on my grandfathered plan, though the coverage is spotty. 2. Nice screen--480x800. Feels good in hand. Nice form factor. 3. Decent sound in speakers after load Pocket Player. Sounds poor with Windows Mobile player. 4. Includes Opera 9.5 browser. 5. Sbp interface included. Quite glossy and graphical interface overlay. But takes work to set up and is flakey at times. 6. Some nice third party software can improve matters, such as Pocket Player, which has better sound and a resume function for audio books. Kinoma also is good and includes Audible integration. 7. The Pharos navigation software has ugly and dated graphics but does include turn by turn directions, and is not dependent on the wireless connection. A...

Strangely, mine doesn't have problem some other users stated, I can assume it's different hardware. Touchscreen is reliable, no "single tap, multiple characters" issue. Battery is still kinda short, but I expect that happens, running over 3G is certainly battery killer, I have ordered 2 more batteries along with software card (137E has a coupon, which gives $50 off). Charging this phone from USB hub works with a trick, that you have to cover 2 center conductors on the USB plug to make it NOT data capable, failure to do it will activate ActiveSync and halt charging; same way applies to iGo AA battery charger, NiMH batteries will work, but Lithium AA batteries are recommended as it draws a lot of power. The new hardware has better radio, no "losing reception" problem like other stated; however, the antenna is located...

A lot of free Software bundled, including Navigation softare and US Map. 2. Unblocked with Quad-band, good for international traveler. Also good for domestic traveling too, Notebook using "Internet Share" (data Modem) software, allow me to connect to Internet. 3. Very sensetive GPS receiver. 4. Very high resolution in Display (800X480) 5. A lot of memory. 6. Got 3G bandwidth with T-mobile most of time. Cons 1. Stylus easy to lost. Drop it couple of times, but fortunately found it back. |
