Question Which GPS chip?
Hi all,

I am thinking about buying a used Pharos. I would like to know which GPS chip is built in - is it a SIRF III or something else like MTK or Venus?
Which experiences do you have regarding the sensitivity and the precision of the GPS? Is it comparable to a SIRFIII Bluetooth receiver?
Regards, C.
several old WinMob devices, a Xperia X1 and now an Optimus 7 E900 - I like Windows Phone

That does not answer my question: Which GPS chipset is built in?
Anyhow, next week I have my Pharos and can find out myself...
