Pharos' Traveller 117 and 127 WinMo phones show up courtesy of Dell

Pharos' line of GPS-equipped Windows Mobile handsets has sort of lost its place in our hearts now that seemingly every phone under the sun -- smartphone or otherwise -- comes equipped with wicked advanced AGPS out of the box, but the company's latest pair actually looks competitive for reasons that have nothing to do with GPS whatsoever. Sure, GPS is nice, but the Traveller 117 and 127 really rock on account of tri-band 7.2Mbps downstream HSPA, and in the case of the 117, a VGA display. They've also got 2-megapixel primary and VGA front-facing cames, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, and covert semi-official launches courtesy of Dell's online store. What more could you ask for?

I'm thinking the traveler 127 looks identical to the Velocity Mobile 111

too much wasted real estate under the screen on the device on the right. the pharos badging can be scaled down, and there could be markers for the soft keys.

but hey, im just a consumer. kinda. i wouldnt buy pharos, unless they had some hotness that would contend with the CDMA omnia
