Garmin NuviPhone Combines Phone, GPS Navigation, and Mobile Search

Garmin has two different smartphone models currently on the market  – one with AT & T and one with T-Mobile. The less expensive AT& T Garmin Nuviphone, which retails for $49, has the great navigation and GPS system you would expect from Garmin, and the smartphone capabilities are pretty good, too. According to Garmin’s website, the  Garmin nüvifone G60 is a best-seller because it  is the only phone (besides the new T-Mobile Garminphone) to fully integrate the world’s best-selling GPS navigation system with voice, data and mobile web.  Because GPS is integrated and not just an application, the Garmin Nuvifone allows you to do more, such as talk on the phone while continuing to navigate.
