Garmin Asus nuvifone A50

Garmin Asus nuvifone A50



Garmin Asus partnership has announced the brand new nuvifone A50 from the Mobile World Congress in Spain. The new nuvifone A50 is an Android powered device that claims to be more location aware than any other smartphone out there.


A50 has a 3.5″ HVGA capacitive touchscreen, 4GB internal storage, microSD card slot, and an accelerometer. Thanks to the Android platform you’ll have access tens of thousands of applications and if you wish you can sync with your work email thanks to Microsoft Exchange server.


Of course Garmin Asus nuvifone A50 comes with Garmin navigation preloaded and all the maps you need are actually on your device so you won’t have to wait for 3G coverage fairies to grant you access.


Other features of the device are the 3MP camera, and the E-Compass.


Garmin says the nuvifone A50 receives its location information from multiple sources including satellite, network-based and terrestrial sources…. Not sure what they mean but we don’t think any of those is a new technology.


It will be available in Europe first quarter of this year.

Garmin Asus nuvifone M10

Garmin Asus nuvifone M10



Another brand new phone we came across today is the Garmin Asus nuvifone M10. We talked about the M10 just a few days ago but it looks like the official word got out today.


As expected Garmin Asus nuvifone M10 will be a Windows device running Windows Mobile 6.5.3. It has a 3.5″ WVGA screen, 3D task manager, 512MB RAM, and 512MB ROM, and 4GB of storage.


You can expect a decent life from the 1500mAh battery which should get you at least a day on those HSDPA or WiFi networks you can hop on.


Of course Garmin navigation will be preloaded with almost all the bells and whistles of a standalone GPS navigation system.


Garmin Asus nuvifone M10 will come out in Asia and Europe first in first half of this year. Is anyone still interested in a Windows Mobile phone though?

Garmin Nuvi 1860 almost out in the UK


The Garmin Nuvi 1860 we mentioned back in August might be coming out in the U.K pretty soon, and we get a chance to see what it may look like once it finally comes out in the U.S. of A. Nuvi 1860 is a special kind of GPS navigation system for it features WiFi, a web browser, and even a camera that can take geotagged pictures. Some features we’ve seen before here and there, but not from Garmin.

Garmin Nuvi 1860 will run some sort of Linux OS in the background and will have a 4.8″ screen, and bluetooth support. Also with your purchase you’ll get a free 1yr subscription to their nuLink services which cover Google local search, traffic, gas prices, Ciao!, weather, movie times, local events, Send to GPS, flight status, converter, White Pages, and myGarmin.

How much? £499.00 says this site. That’s about $800, which sounds right, knowing Garmin.
