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 mention of Android is to be found, there are a lot of reasons why this could be Android. Firstly – regardless of how you feel about their customization to the OS as exhibited by the Garminfone – they did do an excellent job of giving the device that GPS feel. It would be wasteful to try and go back to another platform for the Nuvifone I would think, so I don’t see any reason why this couldn’t be an Android device.
Even so, we still have to throw this one into the rumor bin as far as its “droid-ness” is concerned, but we’ll be keeping a lookout for more information to turn up soon.

BURN IT! BURN IT WITH FIRE! If you have ever seen the abortion they released on T-Mobile you would know why it needs to be burned.
Dear Garmin… as my dad always used to say to me, “Keep up or keep out.”
I’m just getting fed up right now with AT&T nothing good comes to AT&T. Always saying coming soon to AT&T FCC. Just not right that everyone else keeps getting all the good phones even GARMIN.
Well, I was watching the Travel Channel last night and guess what I saw? A commercial for the garminfone.
