Garmin and Asus join their brands in the upcoming refrehsment of Nuviphone G60

Previously Asus had announced that it will launch its own Eee phone. Though it is quite doubtful, Asus seemed to hope it can capitalize the brand equity of its current Asus Eee notebook range.

However, according to PC World, just recently Garmin and Asus announced that they will release Garmin-Asus phone, which will refresh the current Nuvifone G60.



Already a powerful device, Nuvifone G60 is simply a GPS device with embedded HSDPA and GSM. Plus some more : Wifi, 4 GB On Board Memory, 128 MB RAM, Micro-SD (HC Capable) up to 16 GB support, Linux OS, document viewer, 3 Mp camera, huge 3"55 touch screen, and full email and Outlook support. Wow, quite awesome features for Garmin who never enter cellphone business before. With such features, actually Nuvifone G60 can easily beat Nokia Navigator series, but due to its weak marketing effort, we see Nuvifone not widely used nowadays.

It will be interesting to see what features will be added with the joint venture of Garmin-Asus. Asus is renowned for its ultra slim Eee notebook, so may be the Nuvifone G60 will have its body slimmed down?
