I probably wont buy this phone. I am however hoping that someone will be able to lift the garmin navigation from the nuviphone and load it to other android phones. Then we can all enjoy some quality offline navigation goodness.

Unless I’m blown away by some iPhone or WinMo7 preview, I’ll probably get the first one available here. Except the Droid, that probably will be the Nexus on Big Red. Ambiguous “Spring 2010″ can’t get here soon enough.

The who? What? Oh sorry. Too busy trying to decide if I want the Nexus One, Droid, MotoRoi or Bravo. Or maybe wait and give Apple a chance to announce their 4G. Garmin hasn’t earned my attention. I saw their $300 (still) phone the other day at the AT&T store. I’d rather buy Windows Mobile 4.0.

The original Nuviphone’s, based on WinMo and a custom Linux OS, were (are) a complete failure. Garmin took far too long getting them to market. And not that we have Android 2.x w/ Google Nav, many won’t even give these phones a second glance.

But an Android Nuviphone could have the best of both worlds. All the Google goodness + Garmin Nav w/ onboard maps of the entire country. This would be the ultimate phone for me. No need to worry about 3G coverage when using Nav. Problem is they have to keep the price down to compete w/ all the other Android phones coming out which will have Google Nav standard, which will be a ‘good enough’ nav solution for most people.

I feel like this was an absolute fail before it began…
