Pharos Traveler 137 GPS Smartphone Now Available

Pharos just announced the availability of the Traveler 137, a Windows phone that works on both the T-Mobile and AT&T wireless networks.

What makes this phone even more unique is its hybrid GPS navigation software that gives you voice-prompted navigation even without a connection to a carrier's network. The Traveler 137 is sold unlocked, so you can use local GSM SIM cards worldwide and avoid international roaming charges.

The Traveler 137 is now available from Amazon.com, Dell.com, eXpansys.com, and Newegg.com for $599.95. If you want to save some bucks, you can get a $250 discount on the phone if you sign up on a new two-year contract with T-Mobile – but this has to be done through Pharos to get the discount.
