HTC Pharos - Low-End Leak

So the HTC Pharos (though “Pharos” is just a code name, given that there's a GPS-Focues WM smartphone actually called Pharos out there) is making the rounds. It's nothing special - GPS is nice but that TI OMAP 200 MHz CPU is a bummer. That processor really needs to be put out to pasture. The HTC Pharos (or the P3470 if you're nasty) may not even have 3G for data or WiFi, meaning this thing is clearly meant for the low-end.

Who knows if and when it will hit production. If it does, who knows if it will get picked up by a US carrier. It does have a whiff of T-Mobile Wing about it, though, in both looks and under-powered-ness, doesn't it?
