Garmin officially exits the smartphone business, reports mixed Q3 earnings
Based on our experience with relationships, we've learned that it takes two to tango. It also takes two to produce co-branded wares, and with ASUS already withdrawing (respectfully, of course) from the ill-fated Garmin-Asus smartphone partnership, this here is more a formality than anything else

T-Mobile Garminfone confirmed for June 9 launch, still a whopping $200 after rebate
Alright, you can go ahead and book up your June 2nd with other plans , because we've just heard straight from T-Mobile that the Garminfone has been confirmed for a June 9 launch "at select T-Mobile retail stores, select authorized dealers, and online" for the same $199.99 after $50 mail-in rebate on contract that we'd already known. We'll admit, we'd secretly been hoping that T-Mobile would've wowed everyone and dropped the launch price by $50 or $100 considering its midrange specs and the fact that you'll have to drop an astounding $250 in-store to take the thing home, but it's not to be; in a few months, perhaps

Garmin-Asus Garminfone review
The holy matrimony between smartphone and personal navigation device just keeps getting stronger, scorning dedicated GPS units like forgotten flings and leaving navigation-free handsets wandering lost and alone. Garmin-Asus has been flirting with the perfect bond with its Nuvifone series for some time now, but rather tragically from a branding perspective its strongest attempt yet comes without the nuvi moniker. It's the T-Mobile Garminfone, and its Android underpinnings go a long way toward making the best mix of PND and smartphone to date.

T-Mobile shipping the Garminfone for $199 in June, we go hands-on
T-Mobile and Garmin-Asus have just gotten down to the nitty gritty with us on the long anticipated Garminfone : the phone ships in June for $199 on a two year contract. Just to show they're serious, they also let us play with the phone, which is running a speedy, heavily custom Garmin UI on top of Android.

Windows Mobile phone from Garmin could replace your sat-nav
The use of GPS-enabled mobile phones for navigation and location is old hat at this stage - so much so that location-based services or LBS has become a buzzphrase that gets thrown into most proposals and press releases.

Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 launches in Taiwan, Windows Mobile and all
Filed under: Handsets , ASUS , Others , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Following last month's launch of the proprietary OS'd G60 , Taiwan's now playing host to the Windows Mobile-based M20 from Garmin-Asus , the joint venture's second model. Local carrier Chunghwa will be carrying the phone, which features HSDPA, a VGA display, 3 megapixel cam, and comprehensive navigation capabilities that earn it the Garmin name -- but it turns out they'll also be launching the iPhone 3GS and Hero in the next few days, a situation that effectively defines the phrase "hostile competitive landscape." Best of luck, Garmin-Asus -- given the Duke Nukem-esque delays you've encountered in your bumpy road to retail, you need all the luck you can get if you want to turn a profit any time soon. Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 launches in Taiwan, Windows Mobile and all originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Wed, 19 Aug 2009 05:05:00 EST.
