Well, my iPaq 2210 stopped working and instead of carrying both the PDA and a cell phone, I decided to look for a Smartphone. I saw the review of this Pharos 600 and decided to give it a try. I am so very happy with this device, although I don't use the GPS much. from Buy.com Summary: This phone has everything I wanted in one piece, windows mobile features would allow a lot to be done while traveling, the multi band phone and all other features makes it ideal for some one who travel within the United States or overseas. I wish if the cost could go down and Pharos would provide better web-based support for this product. from Mwave.com Summary:This phone has everything I wanted in one piece, windows mobile features would allow a lot to be done while traveling, the multi band phone and all other features makes it ideal for some one who travel within the United States or overseas. I wish if the cost could go down and Pharos would provide better web-based support for this product. from Datavis.com I sent my phone to them on an RMA for problems with the display in March (after hours of hold music and unreturned email), and I still haven't received it back. If you are comparing devices in this price range, you might want to take a look at the HP iPAQ Travel Companion (rx5910/5915)- I'm going to. If your still interested in Pharos, watch for cheap used handhelds. Mine is still under warranty, and I hope to sell it soon (if I ever get it back!) from Amazon.com I read all the reviews of the Pharos 600 and bought it anyway. I'm glad I didn't listen to the people who disliked it. from Amazon.com Deserves at least a star for that. However, the small form factor kills ease of use, as the 1.25" X 2.75" screen is far smaller than an in-dash car GPS. Many important features require tapping tiny icons or pull-down menus - not linked to buttons - and you have to pull the Pharos out of its carrier to get at the stylus. It is difficult to add waypoints to force it to take a certain route on the way. from Amazon.com i wish if the cost could go down and pharos would provide better web-based support for this product. from Mwave.com i give this one a 97% only due to the cost and some features that i haven't figured out yet being a very technical person it really can't be any eazier but still takes some reading ect... from Circuitcity.com i've used it as a golf distance finder with intelligolf and it works great. from Buy.com the internet is good and the voip is pretty good as well using skype. from Buy.com
