HTC P3470: Affordable GPS?

We were hoping to hear some news from HTC, and the device manufacturer did indeed have a couple of announcements at GSMA.

The first is the HTC 3470. The company is touting it as the affordable option for those looking for a smartphone with built-in GPS. Uhh, I'm not sure what HTC's definition of affordable is, but with a price tag of 449 euros (AU$725), I wouldn't exactly call it a bargain.

It comes preloaded with TomTom Navigator 6 software, so along with the assisted GPS, users will be able to get turn-by-turn directions, points of interest, and more. The Windows Mobile 6 smartphone also has a 2.8-inch touchscreen, a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, and 256MB of flash memory. The HTC P3470 will launch in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and the Netherlands later this month.

      BlackBerry Storm 9500

      A BlackBerry without a keyboard may seem like a car without wheels, but if RIM has given us a touchscreen similar to the stunning display we saw on the Bold, then the Storm could be this year's must-have touch-sensitive smartphone.

      It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.

      It's been a long time coming but finally Nokia has a sexy touchscreen phone. Although, does it have what it takes to make us look away from the ever-alluring iPhone?

      The Touch Pro is a step in the right direction for HTC. It's still a bit sluggish but overall it performs better than the Diamond, plus the keyboard is a winning touch.

      The Parrot Minikit Slim makes it very easy to make and receive calls without taking your eyes off the road to look at your phone, but a poorly executed visor clip makes this otherwise excellent speakerphone feel cheaper than it is.
