HTC Unleashes P3470 in the European Market
HTC has announced the release of P3470 smartphone at an event during the ongoing World Mobile Congress in Barcelona. According to the company, its latest quad-band device claims to set “a new standard in affordable smart phone, GPS-based devices”.
With a 2.8-inch touch screen and built-in GPS, the P3470 will take the helm as HTC’s new well-rounded smart phone. Besides a 240 x 320 pixel touch screen for navigation, the phone also includes dedicated call and end buttons, soft select buttons, and what HTC calls a “smart navigation wheel” for zooming, scrolling, and flipping through applications.
The back sports a 2.0-megapixel camera with mechanical macro functionality, and a GPS antenna connector allows the P3470 to be hooked up to an external antenna for better satellite reception. Like HTC’s other smart phones, such as the Touch, the P3470 will run Windows Mobile 6. Bluetooth 2.0 is standard, along with EDGE 2G wireless Internet access, but Wi-Fi connectivity is strangely absent. Additionally, the P3470 incorporates TomTom Navigator 6 for AGPS-enabled SatNav. However HTC states that the supplied software could be different depending on the country.
Despite a meager 128MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot with support for SD 2.0, which allows theoretical capacities of up to 32GB, although nothing larger than 8GB is yet commercially available. A 1GB card will come included with the phone. P3470 smartphone is touted to have a long battery life and is expected to deliver 350 minutes of talk time plus 10 days or 240 hours of standby time.
HTC’s P3470 smartphone will carry a price tag of around USD 650 and will store shelves across select European countries later this month. It will be available via Orange cellular phone provider.
