AT&T Garmin Nuvifone G60 is Coming…Finally
By Chris Weiss
After over a year and a half of hype and waiting, it appears the market will finally get the Garmin Nuvifone G60, beginning next week on October 4. The phone combines traditional smartphone capabilities with extensive GPS features found on Garmin standalone units, including preloaded maps of North America, voice-based directions, “Where Am I?” feature and millions of points of interest. Premium Connected Services can be added for $5.99 per month (after 30-day trial) and include real-time traffic info, weather, white pages and other features. Traditional phone specs include 3.5-inch WVGA resistive touchscreen, 2 gigs of internal storage, microSD expansion (up to 16GB), 3G capability, Wi Fi, full HTML browser and 3MP camera with geotagging. The phone will be carried by AT&T and will retail for $299 with 2-year service agreement and $100 mail-in rebate. It should be interesting to see if anyone’s still interested in this phone after such a long delay and considering its rather lofty price tag. [via CNET]
