The P3470 features GPS navigation, a touch-screen, and long battery life (claimed to be 350 minutes of talk time and up to 240 hours of standby time).

Yet another phone with promise unveiled at the World Mobile Congress; the quad-band P3470 from HTC, will set "a new standard in affordable smart phone, GPS-based devices," according to the company. The highlights of the phone are GPS navigation, a touch-screen, and long battery life (what's claimed is 350 minutes of talk time and up to 240 hours of standby time). This is a Windows Mobile 6 device; the display is a 2.8-inches QVGA TFT LCD touch-screen. TomTom Navigator 6 is included for navigation, but the company says the supplied software could vary depending on the country. Incidentally, there's a GPS antenna connector so one can hook it up to an external antenna for better reception. A 1GB microSD card is supplied with the phone; it has 256MB of Flash and 128MB of internal memory. Then there's a 2 mega pixels camera and Bluetooth 2.0. Interestingly, there's no 3G or Wi-Fi. The P3470 will be made available in some European countries later this month, and will be priced at about $650.
