T-Mobile’s Garmin Garminfone video tour
Here’s Todd’s look at the Garmin Garminfone for T-Mobile USA. The Garminfone is an Android device that is focused on GPS navigation and related tasks, while offering a Garmin-ASUS modified user interface that is very nice to look at. It is a near clone of the Garmin-ASUS A50 that was launched at Mobile World Congress. More info: www.mobileburn.com

the 1.6 is actually pretty good ,dont know why everyone disses this phone i use it much more than my droid….has all the features my droid has plus a better navigation plus it also has a few things that are in my friend droid x…give it a chance
Things to Improve
1. This phone’s alarm does not work if it is power off.
2. The browser’s auto fitting is not nearly as good as other smartphone.
3. Old version of Android on a new phone.
4. The GPS is glitchy that sometimes, there are no voice.
5. Either the accelerometer or the software is glitchy.
6. The power button could be sensitive when using holding the phone typing can cause it to go standby.
7. The OS runs sluggish.
8. No flash
9. Mini USB headphone only.
Does anyone know what the battery life is like on this phone?
this phone makes me gag. is there a point to having android on it?
I was told you have to pay for updated gps/maps, which turned me off immediately. Any blackberry or android phone obviously would be a better choice due to the maps updating for free. Do not buy this phone solely based on the emphasis on navigation.
u might wanna take all the plastic apart before you show us. it make your video less sloppy and unattractive fool
Seems like an decent phone but nothing compared to my Incredible. If I was on T-Mobile I’d consider getting it.
Is MSN Messenger a possible application fort he Garminfone?
can u put movies on this phone?
i got this phone for free and personally i like it i can breeze through everything in it everything is really simple to use and the navigation works really good minus the ocassional missing dirt road in the middle of bum fuck no where i have no problems with the touch screen and i have a screen protector on mine
I’m not impressed. It doesn’t have many features.
@derekoeur yea its like any other gps
@elvrdugo yea i tried it it feels nice
not impressed at all
is the touchscreen sensible as the iphone?
I love how the gps works even if the phone has no service. Its awesome great job garmin
loook @ all the fingerprints on it/.
is there anyway to customize the interface as if you were to “jailbreak” it?
Android 1.6?? is this a joke?? lol
it just got released!!!
My touch slide>Garmin-Asus Garminfone
running android 1.6???????????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA joke of a phone
@derekoeur That’s right, all preloaded and no 3G data connection needed during the navigation.
It seems the phone overall response time is a bit slow. I will need to play with that before I make a final decision between this and the HD2. Thanks for the vid.
The phone response seems to be a bit slow. I’ll have to play with that at the store to decide between HD2 and this phone. Great vid. Thx for doing this
