The principal products of the Garmin company are GPS navigators, thus the Nuvifone is the first attempt of the company to enter the market of mobile phones. Let’s remind that the Nuvifone is based off its own Garmin platform. It’s equipped with a media player, a camera, and a 3.5” touchscreen similar to that of iPhone, supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA/HSDPA and makes use of a GPS unit.

It is also reported that the device will be released in the forth quarter 2008 instead of the third quarter as it was stated before.
