Camera Phones Plaza

The beginning of 2009 seems to be invaded by all sorts of new devices manufactured by companies eager to catch everyone’s attention and willing to become more famous that they already are. Pharos, for example, is a relevant example as far as the prolific companies are concerned, as it has just unveiled a new cell phone, the Traveler 137. This is in fact a smartphone and it’s expected to be released in the first quarter of this year.



The magic number of the Traveler is the 3.5 that corresponds to the 3.5 inch VGA display, on the one hand, and to the 3.5G data, on the other one. The operating system that the new Pharos phone is based on is the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, while other technical features include: the Qualcomm MSM 7201A 528 MHz processor, memory of 256 MB DDR SDRAM and 512 MB Flash ROM, GSM quad band 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz, EDGE / GPRS, Tri-band 3G 1700 / 1900 / 2100 MHz, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA (this if for the T-Mobile USA and for the European bands), Wi-Fi and A-GPS.



The display is a 3.5 inch TFT LCD provided with touch panel and with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and 65K colors while the 3 megapixel camera has picture and video capabilities. You also have the possibility to increase the internal memory of this Pharos phone with microSD slot support SDHC.

Measuring 4.60 x 2.40 x 0.51 inches and weighing 4.9 ounces, the phone comes with a 1380 mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery that provides up to 4 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours of stand-by time. Even if there is no official information about the price of this new smartphone, rumors say that it will hit the market under a price of approximately $600.
