In the world of consumer electronics, a long list of features is desirable, but ultimately that doesnt matter if the user experience is poor. This truism sums up the Pharos Traveler 127 ($529.95 list), a GPS-focused smartphone whose features fail t...
Solid voice quality and reception. GPS radio works independently of cellular reception.
Very slow performance. Buggy software. Poor camera. Difficult to dial phone numbers. SIM card and GPS settings require reconfiguration with every reboot. GPS app doesnt pronounce street names. Clumsy microSD card slot design.
Given their high up-front cost, unlocked phones are already a tough sell. Its even worse when one has as many shortcomings as Phaross latest GPS-focused smartphone...

sarcasm>A GPS receiver in a cell phone? Whatll they think of next!? </sarcasm>But seriously, Pharos (motto: "lighthouse of the 21st century") is hardly a household name in the mobile phone world, and the companys Traveler 127 isnt likely to make it...
Capable navigation system, including realtime traffic. Fine, sharp audio quality. Copious input options. Onboard maps and GPS software offer extra security for those venturing into the boonies.
Expensive (though about par for an unlocked phone). Operating system badly designed and too slow on the whole.
