The Traveler 137 is equipped with an integrated assisted GPS and hybrid navigation software

Pharos Science & Applications, a leading provider of location-based information and services, has announced the immediate availability of its latest GPS-enabled smartphone.

The Traveler 137 features hybrid navigation software, giving it the unique ability to provide voice-prompted navigation even without a connection to a carrier’s network. It is sold unlocked, enabling users to use local GSM SIM cards worldwide and avoid international roaming charges. It is also the first Windows phone to give users access to 3G data speeds on both the T-Mobile and AT&T Wireless networks.

“When it comes to phones, we believe consumers deserve the full spectrum of choice,” said Stephanie Ferguson, general manager of Microsoft's mobile communications business. “The Traveler 137 is a great example of a Windows phone that gives consumers the choice of 3G networks, the choice of personalisation and the choice to use a single, powerful phone for both work and life.”
