After announcing the first Garmin cell phone ever built, the G60, the collaboration between Garmin and Asus seems to be more prolific than most of us would have expected it to be. The co-branded alliance decided to announce one more device, the nüvifone M20, which is an all-in-one phone, combining a mobile web browser, excellent navigation system, and not to mention the Windows Mobile operating system.



The phone is expected to be presented at the 2009 edition of the Mobile World Congress which is to be held in Barcelona.

As far as the features are concerned, they include: a combination between a dual-band 3.5G with a tri-band GSM, Wi-Fi connectivity, internet browser similar to the one used when surfing on desktops, push email, document viewing, Bluetooth connectivity, Garmin sat nav, a full QWERTY soft keyboard, location based services (also known as LBS), Ciao!, “a ground-breaking LBS application that helps users stay up to date on their friends’ whereabouts and status by linking numerous location-centric social networks”, a 2.8 inch TFT touch lens VGA display with a resolution of 640x480 pixels, a 3 megapixel camera with geotagging (it means that the images are given the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates), integrated microphone and speakers and 4GB/8GB of internal memory.



As I said earlier, the Garmin cell phone is said to show its face at the MWC 2009 (which is to take place starting next Monday), while details about pricing and availability will be given to the large public by the end of the first semester of 2009.
