Vodafone 903T with international mapping service

Today, Vodafone announced a new 3G handset which will be available in early October, the new 903T. Like its predecessor, the 902T, the 903T is manufacturered by Toshiba. It is indeed very similar with the 902T, with the addition of a GPS funtion which works even when you’re in a foreign country, with roaming (Think: download maps on the fly – the GPS itself should work everywhere).  The 903T will works with Vodafone’s navigation system, the Vodafone Live! NAVI, which is also announced today.
