AT&T getting the Garmin Asus Nuvifone M20 too?

Ilinca Nita  By on 19 Aug 09

It looks like AT&T will soon launch not one, but two Nuvifones: Garmin Asus G60 (of which we already heard about), and the Garmin Asus M20.

The info doesn’t come from AT&T, but from a Garmin Asus representative who, during M20’s release in Taiwan, said that the device “is destined for AT&T in the US.”

Unlike the Nuvifone G60, which will apparently be marketed as a Personal Navigation Device (PND) with phone and Web capabilities, the Nuvifone M20 is a true Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone that comes with built-in GPS and advanced navigation features.

For example, the M20 includes Connected Services (a suite of Web-based applications that offer “location intelligence to navigation, phone and browser functions”), and a LBS app called Ciao!.

The M20 (available on pre-order in Poland) also features a 2.8 inch VGA touchscreen display, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, push email, 3MP camera and 4/8GB of internal memory.

In Taiwan, the price of Nuvifone M20 is of around $545 (unlocked), so AT&T might sell it for under $200 on contract. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when the US carrier plans to release the smartphone.

    For the moment, we have no news on the Nuvifone M20's release via AT&T – it might never be released. However, AT&T could launch one of Garmin-Asus' new smartphones (the M10 or A50): http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/02/11/garmin-as…

    Thanks for the info! So I guess I keep checking on the m10? I want Windows based, similar to the Garmin eQue m4.
