Default Mobile Navigator: HTC P3300

http://www.europe.htc.com/products/htcp3300.html

"The HTC P3300 personal mobile navigator ensures you know where you are at anytime, in any place. Navigation simplicity is built in with standalone GPS and the new TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 application. Clear maps and straight forward directions help you arrive on time, ready for your day ahead. The HTC P3300 will be available with a 'taster pack' with one free city map, or as a "premium pack", pre-loaded with a complete set of maps for Western Europe."



The P3300 (what we all know as the Artemis) is the first of two new Pocket PC Phone Edition devices from HTC. In it, you'll find 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, a 2.8" QVGA TFT-LCD, a 2.0-megapixel camera, integrated GPS, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio support, a microSD slot, and Windows Mobile 5.0 (MSFP). Also included is a trackball and track wheel (HTC lovably calls it the RollR), which should give your tired D-pad-accustomed thumbs a bit of a break when browsing maps. And for all T-Mo'ers in Europe, you'll be able to pick this one up as the MDA Compact III very soon.

It's fully, most WM phones have not made me lift my eye too much, but I really like the design of the Atremis. It reminds me of my old Palm T5, which was just a long and slick device. This is probably at the top of my list if I were to leave my Treo and go WM (and just on the design, the GPS and other features really take a back seat in this case for me).

NuB question(s) - what is its price, is it available in Canada? It looks very good to me and I'll definitely like to buy one. Thanks.

How come they put GPS on a device with 200MHz processor and no GPS on a device with 400MHz processor????
Are they nuts????

This device is nice. Most people doesn't notice it is also a Phone. It also comes with wi-fi and Bluetooth. I like it so much, the only thing i will miss is EDGE support.

Update: It does support EDGE. It is my phone.

A device that size, even with all the other stuff in it, can surely accomodate at least a miniSD card.

"A device that size, even with all the other stuff in it, can surely accomodate at least a miniSD card."

...versus no card? Or is it that you don't want to buy a different medium since you already have, I am guessing from the post, a miniSD card?

If you are spending this much on a phone to have the latest tech, I don't get quibbling over the cost of obtaining the newest storage medium that goes with it. Just an observation. Would understand if facing buying a proprietary medium, such as the Sony baloney.

vs. the microSD that the unit has. I don't mind buying new tech to accompany other new tech, but, as has been stated here many times by many individuals, there has to be a limit as to what oems will ship their devices out with. Who knows what the shipping format will be this time next year? Perhaps the format that Gerard mentioned; hopefully the manufacturers will provide the tweezers, jeweller's loupe and portable clean room required to handle it.
