Garmin nuviphone: their take on the mobile phone industry

by Jayvee on February 1st, 2008

Garmin Nuviphone

The Garmin nuviphone can actually be a serious consideration for mobile phone users who want something kick ass huge. Imagine a 3.5 inch screen, hefty form factor, HSDPA, and GPS navigation maps. The nuviphone announces Garmin’s take on the mobile phone industry, which really tells more about how they want to bring their GPS navigation experience down to the mobile phone user. If you’ve used Garmin products before, you’ll definitely take a second look at this device.

Again, Garmin should heavily consider third party application support rather than remain in a closed platform. Killer device? We’ll see when they launch this in Q3 2008.

The phone seems to be a direct competitor to the N95. And the iPhone. But heck, everything competes with the iPhone nowadays. The nuviphone will be announced at the Barcelona 3GSM this coming February.
