Owners of the Garmin-ASUS M20 can finally update their handset to Windows Mobile 6.5. Apart from that, the phone will become available in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Czech, Turkey, and other markets (excluding North America and Western Europe) by the end of 2009.

Garmin has announced their plans on releasing an Android-based handset in 2010 at an event where the company reported their financial results for the Q3 2009 last week. They didn't reveal any info on the phone's features or pricing, so that's all we know for now. Stay tuned for more details.

Amazon is now offering the Garmin nuvifone G60 for just $99.99 on contract. It's a great deal, don't miss it. To order one, click here.

The new Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 was recently released in Taiwan on a local carrier Chunghwa.

The phone features HSDPA, a VGA display, 3Mpix camera, and comprehensive navigation capabilities, which is nice, but seeing that the carrier will also be launching the iPhone 3GS and Hero this week, the competition will be mighty tough for M20 to get profitable.

Garmin-Asus have once again delayed their G60 Nuvifone. This time the release is expected sometime in the second half of this year.

The first announced of the G60 took place in January 2008, the phone has been delayed several times already.

Garmin Asus partnership is appearently starting to afford, as they've announced the upcoming release of the Nuvifone G60. The device will be released in the first half of 2009, though no carrier, availability or pricing details were provided.

Features include:

• 3.5" touchscreen display;
• HSDPA/3G connectivity;
• Bluetoo

A set of new UI screenshots of the upcoming Garmin Nuvifone has surfaced today. I must say the interface looks very appealing, and hopefully the device will run Android as its OS. Enjoy!

The waiting will soon be over, as the FCC has approved the longed-for Garmin Nuvifone. It will support 850/1900 MHz 3G bands, so the Notrth American launch is imminent. Hopefully, we'll see it live during the first half of 2009.

Not surprisingly, Garmin announced it will delay the launch of its Nuvifone until early 2009.

According to the press release, meeting some of the carrier specific requirements will take longer than expected, but the the GPS manufacturer is said to be working on the necessary design changes to meet these requirements.

Well, in this case we expect to see a fully functional handset in the end.

Laptop Mag has made a 5 minute video preview of the upcoming and higly anticipated Nuvifone by Garmin. The device shown is a prototype, but it's good enough to keep us salivating and waiting for the Q4 release. Check out the video below.
