Garmin cell phone to be finally launched

Posted by: Maria Mihale in Asus

There were many rumors about the Nuvifone G60, a Garmin cell phone that was said to be the result of the collaboration between Garmin and Asus, and about its release which didn’t become reality due to unknown reasons. However, after being delayed so many times, the Nuvifone G60 has been announced. Finally, some might say.

The phone is expected to become available in the Taiwanese market at first, starting this month. The release date is said to be July 27, meaning tomorrow. In addition, the same handset will be launched in two other countries by the end of next month (August, to be more precise). The two countries are Malaysia and Singapore.

But the plans made by the Garmin-Asus alliance, if I may call it this way, are more complex than just that. It seems that August will be the month to release another device, the Nuvifone M20, a smartphone based on the Windows Mobile. It is expected to hit several markets, from countries like Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.

As for the release of both handsets in the European continent, we sure hope that customers will have the chance to buy them by the end of this year.

As for the prices, we don’t know right now the details, but we can wait for tomorrow for new information.
