Ever struggle to get your Google Maps to provide real-time location data? Frustrated over a cumbersome GPS interface? Having trouble getting dates?

Well, the Garmin Asus A50 is a unique player in a crowded cell phone market, offering a full frontal assault of simple, intuitive GPS navigation and overall GPS-phone integration. This Android-based smartphone is about getting places, going places and never losing your way. In fact, if you have one of these phones and actually DO get lost, don’t tell anyone. You’ll NEVER live it down.

The Garmin Asus offers a large 3.5 inch touchscreen display, HSDPA 3G capability, Bluetooth, WiFi, and pre-loaded maps! Toss in an 3MP camera with geo-tagging (lets folks know where the photo was taken) and video record, and it’s safe to say Garmin means business.

The Garmin Asus is all about Location Based Services (LBS). It’s what beats at the core of this phone. The Garmin-Asus is a quality phone that offers folks a deeper look into what is possible when LBS is central to the operating system of a cell phone.

Though a newcomer to this market, the concept is a comfortable one, since the whole idea of having a cell phone is about freedom and mobility. More recently, it’s also about social networking, and to that end the Garmin Asus provides Ciao!, a fun and easy-to-use social networking app with an LBS/GPS focus.

Kudos to Garmin for breathing fresh air into a feature-focused market of calendars and to-do lists, alarm clocks and clever ringtones. The Garmin-Asus will get you where you need to go.

because I couldn't call out or answer a call without it ending the call on its own. Took it back to the store since I couldn't call or receive calls on it and they replaced it with a new one. I was thrilled that I could call out and receive, except I was shocked to find that now, I had no... More

Android and navigation all in one

The Garmin-ASUS Garminfone is the second device from the Garmin-ASUS partnership that has launched in the United States. It follows the nuvifone that launched on AT&T last year, and is a vast improvement in many ways. The Garminfone is powered by Android 1.6 and runs a custom Garmin user interface.... More

Far less a nav device with a phone built in and far more of an equal share of both

For $199, the Garminfone is an interesting choice. While T-Mobile's selection of Android handsets continues to expand (most excitingly with the upcoming myTouch 3G Slide), fans of little green robots still don't exactly have a lot of choices on that carrier, which makes the 1.6 build of Android on... More
