Pharos Traveller 137 now available, can use both AT&T and T-Mobile 3G

We're not sure what kind of wilded-out party people need a single phone that can use both AT&T and T-Mobile 3G in the States, but your dreams have finally come true: the Pharos Traveller 137 is finally available. Hope you like Windows Mobile 6.1, cause that's what you're getting for your $350 on two-year T-Mo contract or $600 unlocked. Expensive, yes, but you're basically getting every feature you can think of and Pharos says the 137 is WinMo 6.5-ready, so there's an upgrade path here -- too bad no firmware will ever make that resistive touchscreen feel good.

Although not incorrect, the headline is misleading. This phone, as stated by 't' does not support AT&T's 3G network.

What the hell? The feature list states, "Free real-time traffic, gas price, movie and weather information," but in the video is very obviously uses MS's Live Search application, one freely available to anyone, and not made by Pharos.
