  • yes u r right

  • The P3470 is great as navigator, music that comes out sounds good, camera sux, as the video, I have this phone for 2 years, didnt not use it regurally, endurance of battery only for one day, and because its a touchscreen very annoying, more than often problems with calling, cannot make phone calls, he just refuses..because of this phone i hate touchscreen phones

  • Worst PDA, Phone, infact everything Ive ever had. Go blackberry or iphone!!!!! Or use 2 cups and a bit of string.

  • Wifi is not there. Otherwise a good PDA

  • If there is wi-fi & 3G.......it will b a great phone.

  • Can i use the phone features and applications without inserting sim card?is it operatable without it?like video playing and songs

  • how do i make the gps work on the htc p3470??

  • mobile having windows 6 can not b updated to 6.1 u can chk that on microsoft

  • Really it is very nice, i am using this brand phone upto this time and is it comfort for many operations. I enjoy for ever.....

  • very practical and solid phone,one of the best windows phone i have used ,runs apps smoothly,best gps receiver,true value for money!!

  • Is it possible to update to Windows 6.5 in this phone?

  • complete crap but yes if you get in the latest windows 6.5 like I have done and you are able to bear the pain of no wifi and no 3g I think that windows 6.5 makes it pretty snappy.

  • Dont waste money on iphone, very solid PDA, fun and functional

  • brilliant!

  • Brilliant business tool, very functional but unlike i phone works brilliantly with windows apps. Strongly recommended!!

  • Battery is not sufficient.

  • htc p34070 thas the last model

  • I have wasted my money.. it is a useless phone n don't hve any latest features.. battery backup is only half a day....

  • hello, can anybody knows the HTCP3470 problems?

  • Great phone-but no audio [for calls]with "speaker off" after 1 yr.

  • ive got the htc 3470 its a great phone im on the o2 network and cant seem to get the settings to go on the net or wap can you please help me my email address is [email protected]

  • could someone pleasew provide MMS and Texts settings using an 02 pay as you go SIM because so far I have not been able to set the device HTC 3470 for this and cannot use the facility? Thanks [email protected]

  • im usin a 4 gb n deres no problem so far...

  • i had this phone for about 2 months.batery life is like 2 days and a half.very hard to use it in daylight and the the touchscreen is hard to use with the finger so if you have both your hands free is not a problem to use it because you have the pen.not very good camera but not so bad(great zooming on a foto).

  • does any1 know whats the max storage allowed on fone?

  • Having fully tested the hTC P3470 my opinion is the hTC P3470 Internal GPS is without doubt the very best quickFix internal GPS system and runs the tomtom 6 & 7 Sat Navigation software. The downfall is the phone does not have WiFi this itself is very disapointing when you consider what you pay also the phone does not have full TouchFlo interface however to get around this there is the SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 interface without doubt the best interface for windows mobile phones

  • after completing the call, balance message is coming with sound, don't know to disable the sound? can any one tell me how to disable the sound?

  • does anyone know if this runs "marandy" gps software in the uk?

  • Hi chetan, I am from bangalore. I am planning to purchase this cell. How much did you pay for it.

  • i hve bought ths phone. but i m nt gettin how to use navigation.. i m nt findin my city map.. can u guide my how to use the navigation.

  • i hve bought ths phone.. but im nt gettin how to use navigation... temme how hve u downloaded the map...

  • very poor display in bright sunlight. Virtually unusable in Spain. For a phone of this cost its pretty bad that screens have not overcome this obvious defect. People use phones in daylight !

  • Gr8 phone,amzing ease to use.smplified n easy navigation features. great value for money.

  • awsome phone...good value for money, if you want to buy a phone with lots of extras (not a computer that also makes phone calls) then this is for you

  • Great phone

  • Bluetooth on this phone?

  • There are just 2 setbacks with this phone 1- not a very good camera 2- no wi-fi otherwise its one of the best windows mobiles cellphones

  • there are n number of softwares available for one to change ringtones and am more than happy with the ring volume...the only negative is the lack of wi-fi but then being a user of Moto Q for so long one does tend to forget wi-fi :)

  • no WiFI,cannot change alarm ring tone,very less ringtone volume in this phone i think its not worth with the price better dont go for this mobile

  • is there wifi on this phone?

  • Does this phone has a qwerty keypad option by any chance? i want to buy a good phone but with qwerty keypad.. I need a good organizer and i message a lot

  • Hi i am shekar i have first time PDA3470 but to seaarch internet i am getting difficult so can u give some advise even i went through manual i could not understand

  • exact specs with the addition of; FM Radio, Keyboard with Faster processor.

  • It is a good PDA phone. The Tom Tom gps is quite difficult to manage, but if you install third party gps software in such as Garmin, you will love it. (It picks up GPS satelize within seconds.) The rest, it could as other ODA with windows mobile could do. With the price offered, go for it.

  • anybody know about which are free & working GPS software for HTC-P3470

  • How much each unit?

  • Someone interested in this phone??I have 13 units and all are very cheap. You can reach me at mail above.

  • Hi 2Za1 How do you like your phone. I was told by the phone dealer, that this model is a failure. I did not understand what he meant by failure. Do you see any reason why this could be the case. Any one else?!! Thanks

  • your navigation software should do that. Install google maps to check it. All navigation softwares give you an option to turn on / off the gps.

  • You have to conect your gps software with gps receiver. I have igo8 gps software,it has option to activate gps receiver and establish conection beetween receiver and software. Receiver has ports,too and diferrent softwares use diferrent ports,but software finds ports.When you make conection gps will start to work.

  • No NO

  • ive been trying to get my gps to work but its always been so hard.....im wondering could any one tell me how can i activate my gps??? thanks....

  • My CD software is out of trial for HTC P3470 How to download the most update one?

  • this is a very good piece. I had a lot of pdas and smarts,this is one of the best. exept wifi. Im from europe n I use iGo8 gps softwer n it work great.

  • does the phone have touchflo feature??

  • Anbody know a GPS software that will tell me my position coordinates, my direction of movement and my speed ,usable on this phone?

  • It is a good model and more over it does not have wifi and Gps when compare to touch it does not have extra features and price is also high

  • Does anyone know, how to disable GPRS attach at power on on these phones.Thanks.Sophie

  • its a good looking phone but not having good features in it.. and ............ .......... ...... its too costly by it looke only

  • Its a good looking phone but not having good features in it.

  • pls share with us the link where we can download or buy maps for this phone. my one came with UK map and i am in middle east. the tomtom program show on status no valid GPS signal. means i need a map first and then i will get the signal?

  • useless without WiFi....

  • Good people,especially those using any HTC-touch screen range,I need you advice here.Someone warned me about touch-screen devices.He said touch-screen is very sensitive & easily damaged and so can get infected just as easy,even in your pocket.Being 'touch-screen' means 'undressed',meaning the device is thus exposed to viruses & all sorts of infections..I want to buy HTC P3470. Whats your advice, good people. I'm Siya

  • Pleze post the link of where you downloaded the maps. I can't make the GPS work with the software

  • I have htc P3470, i dont know how to transfer the picture from my phone bluetooth to another phone thru bluetooth. Please advice. Thanks you so much.

  • u must download the maps 4 ur device,i downloaded from rapid share and i put them on my p3470 it works great!xD,this is one of the best GPS PocketPC devices ever!HTC go ahead!xD

  • I have 3470, but the GPS does not work, or maybe I'm unable to setup it.Help me... [email protected] dident detect any sattelite... (in outdoor and sunny day)!!!

  • Hey, I have one, but the GPS does not work, or maybe I'm unable to setup it. any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi I really thank you for your advice to people who criticising other phones that is company's policy"what if everything is in 1 phone"

  • guyz,there is no many wifi areas in my country,i really dont need wifi,this phone has edge,wm 6.0 pro,tscreen,GPS wich is one of the best if u compare it with other GPS phones...How dare u to speak about this exellent phone like that???do u guyz use phones only 4 wifi?3G??fm radio???what about the phone calls,GPS many many many interesting things that the power of WM offers u...only a person who really has this phone may say what r the good things and what r the bad things...and also when u heard that the WM phone has TI OMAP 850 200Mhz processor,u think that is too slow,but the 256Mb of rom and 128Mb of ram make this phone faster and when u use it,u really don't feel that u r holding in hands phone that has 200Mhz processor...i hope i will help some1 to choose this phone,it is very good 4 the beginners in world of PDA...tnx...xD

  • its all because HTC wants to safe money and leave the WiFi out

  • All you guys who says this is useless don't know anything about this phone! It got GPS, its not pinned as an pro-office phone! Its a cheap smart phone for those who need navigation abilitys! Not everybody out there needs wi-fi or 3G.

  • why pay more median price pda without wifi capabilities its definitely useless since its only dependent on service provider with use in surfing the internet..dont buy this stuff..its unpractical to use without wifi..

  • if you don't use it strictly for business, it's useless. actually, it's useless in both ways.

  • hmm this phone sounds like those old as pocket pc wrapped in a newer case, so i would have to say its practically useless to buy

  • yeah, i think it is useless too.

  • its waste to invest money on this mobile. useless

  • Tried this, my friend have it..nice but no WLAN..not worth buying..USELESS

  • Without WLAN...its not worth buying.

  • There is no FM radio, No WiFi, also, no Arabic Language, any body has Arabic packge for this mobile??

  • I bought this phone till now no issues, guys wifi in most of the places re lockd, so no use of it, gps 4 me is ok, I use in my car, but not that hitech, sound clarity is gud, cam is ok, the circular scroller is sperb, overall ok phone

  • This Phine doesn't have FM, I'm having this phine. I'm using 8gb memo card, no issues till now. sometime it's bit slow if we open more than 5prgs. rest it's good for the basic pda starters,

  • can someone please tell me if this phone has an fm radio, because on ebay it says it has an fm radio. but it doesnt say that here.

  • Bart, you are in a mistake, the spec in GSMArena are correct. Go to page 50 of the Extended User Manual of this phone and see by yourself: The specified Block Recognizer and Letter recognizer are what is called "Handwriting recognition"

  • No 3G, no Wi-Fi?

  • eye-catching design. IMO, good looking mobile, better than most htc's here. but extra size (compared to the Touch and Diamond) for less features is a turn-off.

  • The website isn't that good I think. I have bought a P3470 cause I taught it might be fun if I had handwriting recognition. But now I finally have the phone. I can not find it. It just doesn't exist

  • Put GPS Program port on COM0 or COM4 in External GPS (Start -> Settings -> System) and in TomTom select for GPS device: Other NMEA device. Best.

  • where is the review

  • Seemss 2 be lyke an incomplete mobile as there is no wifi being such large in size and internal gps not workin....not upto the mark 4 buying....

  • Somebody please write a review on this phone !!!

  • I'm also having trouble with the GPS. I tied 2 softwares: IGO and MIO, but none of them are recognizng the internal GPS.

  • Just got hold of one, v nice, pity no wifi, but having trouble getting GPS going, any help gratefully received.

  • Wifi's been almost everywhere in my place nowadays, so i guess it would be fun if this phone's been equipped with at least wifi, i dont care much about 3g coz it will cost me more if i want to surf the net, but with wifi i can surf at no extra cost.. Design looks good though..

  • Do you have the link to download the THUMB PAD software ? Coz i tried to google it but I could not find it ... thanks !

  • Good phone .. looks hot .. slim .. as every other thing in this world .. it has some drawbacks .. come on guys ... if everything in given in 1 phone ... why wud u buy any other phone .. Company Policy guys .. be a smart consumer .. LOL ..

  • to Overseas, reg, typing SMS while standing in train, you have a software available called thumb pad which you can install in this Windows Mobile. This thumb pad software will replicate the number pad on your mobile screen. now you can type SMS like any other mobile with keypad. Now, thats the power of Windows !!! enJoi

  • this phone dost have gps in build

  • this device is a big flop coz there is no 3G support for high speed internet access or video calling. even a mid-level to low-level spec model from nokia has 3G nowadays.

  • How do you SMS people standing in a train or bus ? Do you have always to use a stylus for everything ? Or is there a sliding keyboard ? Not easy to tell....

  • it cost $ 465 here in Dubai..

  • so nice ,thin and the design is vry good ..and the fusion is nt bad 2 ..but how much the price in the market?

  • When is HTC going to run out of the TI OMAP 200 MHz CPU stock. 80 % of their devices use that CPU. No doubt its a very reliable chipset, But its too slow.

  • the cost of buying a micro-sd wifi will actually make buying a higher end PDA phone more viable. wifi is free in my country for almost all public areas :)

  • can i just add that this email was sent on my mobile HTC touch with wifi connection using my wireless router and it hasn't cost me any mobile network time so to the guy that said I get 30mins of free network time I get it free for life!!!!!

  • As regarding this phone has no wifi.In this technology world of today this is unbelievable wifi is the way forward most places today give you free wifi or you can hook up to somebody elses wireless network (if its not security enabled) with skype you can also download the software to your mobile. I just wish that wifi had a faster connection.

  • people who say 'oh it has not got no wifi' really, how often does this get used? my mobile contract with voda phone gives me free interenet, why would you pay 5.00 for 30 mins wi fi time?? most users shouldn't be put off by lack of wifi, i'd guess that most people hardly use wifi in an average day!!! great unit!!!

  • this looks good but no wi-fi why woud you carry pda withought wi-fi these days

  • looks nice,soft edges,

  • HTC Pharos P3470 hard reset here:

  • stunning look but not worthy for money. No WiFi, No 3G, No FM, 2MP Cam with no Flash, and 65K Color display. Design: 10/10 Features: 2/10 Performance: Yet to Release.

  • The handset looks really, really great, BUT WTF...!!! Where is the WiFi, 3G (even 384kbps would do). The least that they could have done is put a 5MP camera in. Then it wouldn't be so bad. And what only a 200MHz processor. even the P3400 has that. Come on guys. They need to step up their game a little. It's the same with most handset manufacturers though. I think that the only company to get it right so far is Nokia with their N95 8GB and I hate Nokia so that is saying alot.

  • looks hot!! i like the design very much.. but spec sound like entry level pda phone.. but surprisingly come with gps..

  • this looks hott as hell but no wifi its a no no but damn htc nock in some wifi in this baby

  • This is supposed to be a low end mobile, no extras to keep the price minimum.

  • rubbish...not meant for now but for the 1950s :D HTC go back to the board room and do something people want. WE WANT CHANGE! lol

  • Too bad: 1. 200 MHz CPU 2. no Wi-Fi 3. no IrDA 4. ~ camera???

  • no 3g...no wi-fi...

  • still affraid making "ideal phone". get Touch, minus wifi, plus radio, gps, macro mode. still affraid take it all and leave others behind.

  • Oh! HTC what a shock! why u didn't put wifi for this mobile now a days without wifi mobiles are useless it's very nice looking but most of the people don't buy it because it's price is not reasonable to us for buy.

  • This must be an older model they forget to launch (bis) 2mp camera?

  • Why after all these models use the slow Omap processor? and with GPS but no WIFI these days??? Something is definetly WRONG with HTC here

  • No WIFI, No 3G, still damn 2MP camera!! What the hek... Sure this must be an older model they forgot to launch earlier!!

  • NO Wifi very bad, it should be on half price of touch, no more than 250 dollars

  • What - no 3g yet... That is the only thing lacking from this phone! Otherwise, it would be a brilliant mobile mate!

  • it looks very nice but to be honest, there is a lot of bad stuff in this PDA: 1- Colors are still 65K. 2- NOT a 3G device. For how much it is going to be, roughly?

  • This must be an older model they forget to launch :)

  • This is not the one for the proefessional PPC user. Would be ideal for novice who wants his/her first Pocket PC. Hope this device comes with a cheap price tag.

  • The recommended price of the P3470 is 449 Euros.

  • No 3G? 200 Mhz? Cummon HTC.

  • there are some disadvantages on this fone but probably there is a low price too.

  • I think the biggest disadvantage is the missing Wireless. Otherwise nice design.

  • no 3g, 200mhz processor, 2mpx camera very disappointing. other than that quite impressive.
