Rolling out of T-Mobile this week is the Garminfone, which as you might have guessed is both a smartphone and GPS. Asus had a hand in building the device, opting to stuff a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor (600MHz) into the 4.57 inch x 0.5 inch by 2.46 inch smarthpone rather than the far sexier Snapdragon chip clocked at 1GHz.
Other design decisions include a 3.5-inch display with a 320 x 480 resolution, 4GB of internal memory, and a 3 megapixel camera. Living up to its namesake, the Garminfone comes with extensive navigation features with turn-by-turn directions, voice, weather, traffic, and gas prices, and you can even record your own custom voices as navigation prompts with Garmin Voice Studio.
Unlike other smartphones, where GPS is typically tacked on as an afterthought, the opposite holds true for the Garminfone – it’s primarily a GPS with smartphone capabilities. Layered on top of Android is a custom home screen, though it does come preoloaded with Google Mobile Services giving you instant access to Google Calendar, Gmail, YouTube, and GoogleTalk.
The Garminfone is available now for $200 after $50 mail-in-rebate card and with a 2-year service agreement.
