HTC Showcases the P3470

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, HTC announced the European launch of the HTC P3470, the latest member of the HTC product portfolio.

It employs TomTom Navigator 6, which claims an intuitive interface, instructions, and call handling. The phone features a 2.8-inch screen and includes a 1GB MicroSD card for mapping and other data storage.

"The HTC P3470 integrates GPS-location into an innovative and high-powered phone that brings location-based experiences to customers looking for power and affordability," said Florian Seiche, Vice President, HTC Europe. "We're very pleased to announce this addition to the product portfolio, continuing our commitment to provide an option for every user."

The HTC P3470 will be available to customers across Europe later this month at a price of €449. The first pan-European operator partner to take the HTC version of the device will be Orange, which will launch the P3470 in the UK, France, Spain and the Netherlands.
