Comments:

Review Verdict: The Pharos GPS Phone 600e isn't a horrible smart phone, but the lack of navigation software and subpar call quality detracts from its overall appeal. Plus, you can get more for your money with other GPS-enabled smart phones.

Comments:
The Pharos GPS 600 reminds me of a sofa bed--it's neither a great sofa nor a really good bed. But it scores points as a versatile, unlocked smartphone with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS capability.

Pharos GPS Phone 600 Review

Comments:
The Pharos GPS Phone 600 is equipped much like other Wi-Fi enabled Pocket PC phones, but with GPS capabilities added. Brighthand's chief reviewer brings us this hands-on report.
