I fall to the trick…
this thing is useless
Because of this thing..
the battery run out for 2day on if i never touch the screen
the program a bit messy
the navigation bother me when ever i move a slide bit
the speaker is almost can’t hear by your ears
the ciao as the same as local provider tracking charge
(expensive)
I will never buy stuff like this from immature manufacturer..never ever
I should buy something like an iphone(Apple)

Smells like desperation. Windows Mobile needs to just go away. Nice try Garmin. Too little, too late.

Is anyone actually excited about this? HTC Passion with Google Nav anyone?

the fact that they were so easily able to switch things to winmo must mean that they kinda had an idea that this was going to happen

There is no incentive for Garmin to use Android with Android 2.0 offering free turn-by-turn directions. Whatever chance GPS manufacturer’s have to survive it doesn’t lie with Android.

I agree. The OS is first, but an OS without solid hardware is a waste of time. That’s why I hate the iPhone. That garmin screen is INCREDIBLY small!!

I really don’t get this article…

The M20 always shipped with Windows Mobile, and now that 6.5 is out, it will no longer ship with 6.1

The G60 ships with a proprietary OS… and so of course nothing has changed.

Its not like Motorola, LG, Samsung, Sony, etc. should dole out Android or WinMo to all their devices with proprietary OSs. And its not as if them making a smartphone with either WM or Android really says anything about the quality of their proprietery OS, other than the fact that it is more of a featurephone OS than a smartphone OS.

So… the question remains, why the Garmin software hate? (If anything its the chucky, small screened hardware that we should be complaining about).

They shouldn’t have made the phone in the first place. It was a mess from the start.

Did they not do extensive focus group testing on the phone or something? To make such a big move as the OS of your product just means it wasnt very well thought out/tested. I expected more from Garmin.

I care less about this phone it is a pointless phone I’d rather buy a navigation unit. But, hey guys first.
