HTC launched P3470 Windows Mobile Professional Phone with GPS HTC launched their latest mass affordable touchscreen phone with GPS on 11 February at Mobile World Congress. It combines a lightweight design, large screen, satellite navigation software and strong battery life, but lacks WiFi. With these specifications the P3470 sets a new standard in affordable smartphone GPS-based devices.

HTC P3470 has built-in TomTom Navigator 6, which is one of the best sat-nav solution for your PDA or mobile phone.

The HTC P3470 also includes a 1GB Micro SD card for mapping and other data storage.

"We are very pleased to announce this addition to the product portfolio, continuing our commitment to provide an option for every user."
