Garmin annonces their new phone: nuviphone

In a very surprising move, Garmin has announced their entry into the mobile phone market with their new nuviphone. Yes, Garmin, the company that everyone knows for GPS navigation systems. Not too many details have been made public, because the phone is set to launch in Q3 of this year. What we do know it that it will feature a 3.5’’ touch screen, high-speed data via HSDPA, web browser, IM and email, local search provided by Google, geo-tagging for pictures, and will have a video-recording camera. I almost forgot to mention that it will have full GPS capability, like its other Nuvi siblings. The UI is not quite finished and polished yet, as they still have over half a year to finish it, but the device doesn’t look too bad, being Garmin’s first venture into the mobile phone business. But then again, the iPhone was Apple’s first mobile phone, and they seem to have gotten it right.
