We know: it’s hard to believe that ANYONE bought this phone. (And if they did, we’d find it hard to believe that they kept it for more than a day or two.) But if any of you out there are still rocking the Garminfone (made by the Garmin-ASUS duo that no longer exists) and you’ve [...]

We heard they’d be drumming up to it before, but it’s official: Garmin doesn’t expect to be any more aggressive with their smartphone strategy. In fact, they will be winding down and will continue to focus on aviation, maritime, and standalone consumer units as they return to familiar territory. It wasn’t surprising at all. Garmin-ASUS [...]

Things between Garmin and ASUS weren’t really working out. They have announced that come January their partnership and ventures into the world of mobile together will come to an end. But ASUS is committed to continue making new Android handsets, and as part of their break-up deal with Garmin they have secured exclusive rights to [...]

You had to know it was coming, folks. It’s been thrown out there that Garmin and ASUS – the duo that brought us phones such as T-Mobile’s Garminfone, the A10, the Nuvifone, and more – will not be renewing their contract once it expires in January of 2011. This follows murmurs that the launch of [...]

Please excuse my pun in the title of this report, but Garmin’s not too confident about the future of their mobile phone front in the face of today’s competition. Once upon a time, it was cool to want a Garmin navigation because – well – who wouldn’t want a phone with navigation features built in? [...]

Garmin – off of the heals of their poor performance in the United States market with the T-Mobile Garminfone – aren’t slowing down as they’re taking their Android-based Garmin business elsewhere: to Taiwan. The Garmin-ASUS A10 will have a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscree, a 5-megapixel camera, 512MB of RAM, and will come preinstalled with Android 2.1 [...]

Ah, the T-Mobile Garminfone. You know, the one that apparently sold less than five units on average per T-Mobile store? Asus was quick to deny that the phone made by the navigation and hardware duo involving Garmin was seeing sales below what the companies expected. But now the song isn’t so familiar as Garmin reports [...]

Because the GarminFone is having no trouble at all just flying off the shelves, T-Mobile has slashed the price by seventy bucks from $199.99 down to $129.99 on a two year contract. We still aren’t sure who to believe, the analyst claiming most stores probably haven’t sold any more than five of the Garmin-Asus produced handsets, [...]

Oh, and Ali ducks the punch and comes back with a right hook of his own! Asus – speaking with DigiTimes – says that Garminfone sales are doing just fine. This was in direct response to an analyst – Yair Reiner for Morgan Keegan – who claimed no stores sold more than 5 handsets based [...]

File this one under “expected”: the Garminfone sold through T-Mobile hasn’t got off to the hottest start since its launch back in June, with analyst Yair Reiner estimating only about 20,000 units have moved off the shelves. Reiner, who works with Morgan Keegan, surveyed 50 T-Mobile stores and came to the conclusion that most sold no [...]

In what looks to be a very pointless (and counteractive) memo, T-Mobile’s outlining the different features of some of their flagship phones (including the T-Mobile Garminfone and T-Mobile myTouch Slide alongside the WinMo-bred HD2) up against the iPhone 4. It’s pointless because T-Mobile’s not downplaying the iPhone 4 in any way: they’re simply advertising the [...]

Regardless of how this phone is received throughout our vocal Android community online, we have to remember that there’s still a good chunk of people that are looking for exactly what T-Mobile’s offering with the Garminfone. T-Mobile remembers that, too, and their advertising campaign for the phone doesn’t look too shabby. While I’m sure we [...]

Now that the Garminfone is out on T-Mobile, another device by Garmin-ASUS – the GPS and turn-by-turn navigation specialists – has appeared. The model number is E600 and is being branded as a Nuvifone. The FCC describes the device as a “PDA Phone” but those are the only details we could come by. While no [...]

With all of the noise about the HTC EVO 4G’s launch and Steve Jobs’ latest 3.5-inch Apple device (I am trying to refrain from calling it by its name, here), we almost forgot that T-Mobile’s got something launching today: the T-Mobile Garminfone. Available for $199.99 after a $50 rebate on a two-year contract, it’ll be [...]

T-Mobile has announced that the Garminfone will be coming to select retails stores and authorized dealers, as well as going up for sale on the T-Mobile website beginning June 9th. On a two-year contract you’ll be paying $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. The Garminfone, if you couldn’t tell by the name alone, is the [...]

Earlier, it was believed that the T-Mobile Garminfone would be $199.99 and headed to their stores sometime in June. Today, Engadget’s tipster sent in a pretty convincing shot of a pricing and features overview that states the phone will be available on June 2nd. For those that can’t remember, this thing sports Android 1.6, has [...]

Noah from Phonedog.com received a T-Mobile Garminfone in its final retail packaging and did the world a favor by gracing us with an unboxing video. Everything here is your standard fare of  content, including showing off the items piece by piece and taking us more in-depth with Garmin-ASUS’ custom version of Android. What’s most interesting [...]

T-Mobile’s announced their plans for pricing and availability for their latest Android-powered device, the T-Mobile Garminfone. You’ll be able to grab this thing for $200 on contract (2 years) on several qualifying rate plans. If you want to nix the ties of contractual obligations, you can expect to plunk down $450, instead. The phone will [...]

The Garminfone headed for T-Mobile has officially been announced, and we got some pretty clear looking photos of the device to start with. While they did give us a sense of what to expect when you take it out of the packaging, there’s nothing like a good video that allows us to see how things [...]

Garmin-Asus isn’t finished bringing more Android devices for you turn-by-turn junkies out there. Today, they’ve announced the existence of the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone A10 – a phone aimed for the pedestrian that still needs to find their way around. Running on Android, it’ll bring comprehensive maps and turn-by-turn directions on a 3.2-inch WVGA multi-touch enabled touchscreen. [...]
