Garmin nuvifone, a smartphone with GPS of course
Posted January 31st, 2008 by Alex Ion
I have to agree that it took me by surprise to find out that Garmin released a smartphone instead of a new GPS navigation model, but it’s a good surprise. The Nuvifone is a full-fledged GSM HSDPA phone, has it’s own operating system and of course has GPS navigation inside.
Garmin Nuvifone also comes with a camera, has a web browser, includes Google Search, Email, text and IM functions, plays MP3 and MPEG4 file and Garmin’s online services like traffic, weather or fuel prices.
It was announced in New York City today but I don’t have a price or a carrier for it, but voices in the market thinks it’s going to be on AT&T until T-Mobile gets their HSDPA launched. Correct me if I’m wrong, but a lot of people have been waiting for something like that and it’s now available. It could become big. What do you think? (send your comments below)
