Pharos Traveler 117 approved by FCC
By Ilinca Nita on 28 Jan 09Pharos Traveler 117 has been around for some time, but it’s only now that it got FCC’s approval for being used in the US.
Built by Inventec, the PDA phone runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and comes with a pretty nice set of features – from advanced GPS capabilities to a high-res display.
Moreover, it looks quite nice too, so it might be a good alternative for any of the touchscreen handsets that are currently being sold on the US market.
