HTC officially announced the P3470 back in early February and we are now seeing it launch over in India. The Windows Mobile 6 Professional, touchscreen based, GPS equipped smartphone is currently available through authorized retailers for 19,900 INR, which is about $500 US.

In addition the P3470 will also retain the previously mentioned features, which include a 2.8-inch 240 x 320 display, 2-megapixel camera, quad-band GSM connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, 256MB internal memory with a microSD card slot for additional storage as well as USB support.

HTC has introduced the P3470, which according to HTC “sets a new standard in affordable smartphone, GPS-based devices.“ Overall it seems like the P3470 will offer a decent set of specs along with being a nice looking phone, much better than that spy shot image we first saw back in January. The HTC P3470 features a 2.8-inch QVGA display, 200MHz CPU, 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD card slot and a built-in GPS with TomTom Navigator 6.

It seems that this would be one of the first images of the upcoming HTC 3470 Pharos. Granted, like many first, spy shot type images the clarity is not the best, but still good enough to give a good understanding of just what the Pharos will look like.

The Pharos will be running Windows Mobile 6 with HTC’s TouchFlo interface. It will feature a 2.8-inch QVGA display, Texas Instrument OMAP 200Mhz CPU processor, 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, Bluetooth, integrated-GPS and a 2-megapixel camera.

Sadly the Pharos is said to not include Wi-Fi, hopefully that will change before the final release. No word yet on any release date or pricing information.
