HTC P3470 (Pharos)
I've recently bought a HTC P3470 (Pharos) smartphone / PDA. This device combines combines mobile phone, satnav, and organiser functionality. However, the jack of all trades is a master of none... there are things that remain to be wished for. My current unresolved issues include:
- File transfer: I can use the
obexftpprogram to transfer any file from my Linux laptop to the P3470. However, getting files doesn't work, unless the files are.vcfor.vcxfiles. - GPS logging: I'd like to create traces of my movements with GPS, e.g. to contribute to the Open Street Map project. However, I haven't found an application that works reasonably.
Probably I could have spared myself from these troubles by getting a Freerunner from openmoko. I'll seriously consider that if they release a model with GPS.
