Mio’s rumored Explora K70 is sitting pretty at CeBIT, and while we wait for the full hands-on treatment, we thought an introduction to what appears to be a stunningly loaded GPS phone was in order. Network connectivity is a blow out in the K70 with quad-band GSM, triple-band HSDPA / HSUPA, Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS which is handled by Qualcomm’s gpsOne chip.

The 3.5-inch touchscreen display is a 400×240 WQVGA number, a 3 megapixel camera hides around back, a jog dial’s included for quick scrolling, and it is all powered by Windows Mobile 6. Looking at the spec sheets it seems there will be two different SKUs, a handset-only package and a “Full SKU” that includes in-car charger, device mount, and so forth. We’re suitably impressed, expect more news including dates and pricing as soon as we can get them.
