Basically… Let me save you some time here. They thought it sucked but didn’t want to really say that. When you say something isn’t a horrible smartphone but the call quality was subpar it’s kind of like Simon saying Sanjaya wasn’t that bad. (which admittedly he wasn’t too bad this week)

We suppose it was only a matter of time before GPS specialists Pharos broke into the smart phone market. The company has produced a number of navigation solutions for cars, laptops, and PDAs already, so the mobile phone must have seemed like the next natural step. And that is how the Pharos GPS Phone 600 and the Pharos GPS Phone 600e came to be. Both smart phones are equipped with GPS radios for location-based services and feature Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Phone Edition, integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and a 2-megapixel camera. The 600 also ships with maps of the United States and Canada and Pharos’s Ostia navigation software. The 600e, on the other hand, doesn’t come with any maps and is designed for those who already use and favor other nav applications. Both devices are available now as unlocked phones and carry some hefty price tags; the 600 costs $699.95 while the 600e costs $599.95.
