The good: The Pharos Traveler 127 ships with navigation software, so there's no need for a subscription-based location-based service. The Windows Mobile smartphone also offers 3G support, Wi-Fi, and a 2-megapixel camera.
The bad: The smartphone can be extremely sluggish at times, and the Smart Navigator app isn't the most easy to use. Expandable memory is restricted when using the navigation software
The bottom line: While the Pharos Traveler 127 holds the advantage over most GPS-enabled smartphones by coming preloaded with navigation software, it loses any competitive edge it had due to sluggish performance.
