The phone is ok but it seems to lag out some times in games besides that its nice because some times you connect beyond your 3g with satellite reception as a feed

I have had the phone for 3 months now and love it. As this is my first smart phone I find it to be pretty good. I use the garmin navigation constantly and its nice that its true GPS and not network based. In fact I used it to read this this page on crappy edge network.

I am considering buying this Garmin phone. Does the GPS have contour lines for bush walking and of road driving?

Nice phone!Does not feel like a brick! Good call reception, easy to navigate, camera/video look great. Love the mp3 player sound quality and ease of use. Does what my other smartphones have done with decent size screen and lightweight feel.

This device appears to be running ANDROID 1.6 firmware with garmins premium navigation system and google turn by turn directions (google maps beta). As far as upgrading the firmware, it isnt known whether and over the air update of the andriod os wil be released.

Given that the chipset is Qualcomm MSM7227 according to http://www.garminasus.com/en_U.../specs.html, the processor is 600mHz according to http://news.softpedia.com/news...04554.shtml.

Android OS is 1.6 and no official plans yet for any newer release.

Looks like a good phone for right for this year. Considering Droid and iPhone are releasing tomorrow, EVO has released, and all Android phones get free Google Maps navigation, this phone seems overpriced and outdated already. Nexus One would be better and is already on T-Mobile.

The phone only has assisted GPS. This means you have to be within T-Mobiles coverage area which is very limited once you get outside of a city where you would like want to use this (for hiking, camping, exporing). The phone would be more appealing if it could function as a GPS without cell service. I have a Garmin standalone GPS. It's old but works fine everywhere with no service charge. You could probably buy it used for $40. The newer nuvis are only $99.

this phone is good looking. yet, the OS seems like Android 1.0. it's not listed what version from the specs. my question now if this phone is upgradeable to Android 2.2?

It's the same as Asus nuvifone A50 http://www.gsmarena.com/garmin...a50-3139.php . The only difference us the branding.

I do not know what processor is in this thing, but been using this phone for a couple of days now, and I can tell you, it's pretty quick, almost as fast as my Nexus one. And in regards to Garmin interface, I downloaded GDE home replacement from market, and this thin flies, and looks great and add to that Beautiful widgets, also from market and it looks better than most phone out there. Nice phone...
