HTC's Pharos: lighting the way?

The pic comes courtesy (http://pcdebolso.com/notVer.asp?id=2708) of Portuguese-language website PCDelbolso.com, which maintains the Pharos has 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0.
The handset's based on a 200MHz Texas Instruments processor running Windows Mobile 6 and HTC's Touch UI on top of it. It has 128MB of memory and a 2.8in, 240 x 320 display.
If the site hadn't mentioned GPS integration, it would have been obvious anyway: the picture clearly shows TomTom's name.
What's not known is when the Pharos will go on sale over here. Or whether it'll include appropriate graphics acceleration drivers (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/17/htc_chipset_anger/).
