This fat little guy, bearing a face only a mother could love, is said to be the HTC "Pharos" (no, not that Pharos) with a date with destiny as early as March, making a CeBIT announcement a distinct possibility. It'll apparently go by the name P3470 in HTC's lineup, clearly shoring up the very, very low end of the company's line with a mere 200MHz TI OMAP850 core, 256MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM, Bluetooth, integrated GPS, and a 2 megapixel camera -- not terrible specs, we suppose, until you take a good, hard gaze at the darned thing. No word on whether it'll be crossing the pond, but we're not going to get too caught up on that one."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/martin-20080119_htc-pharos-pcdebolso.jpg" /><br /><br />I'd have to agree with the Engadget take...not exactly a winner in the looks department. It only supports 2.5, so no 3G speeds and won't include wifi either. Regarding the possibility of TouchFlo, <a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/01/htc_pharos_3470_smartphone.html">Ubergizmo</a> says 'Yes' and <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcdebolso.com%2FnotVer.asp%3Fid%3D2708&langpair=pt%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8">Pcdebolso</a> (<i>Google translation</i>) says 'No'. So, flip a quarter.
