  • Responsive screen, Highquality construction, Accurate turnbyturn directions, Intuitive interface
  • Poor image quality from camera, Lacking video playback, Poor battery life, No button to get back to the home screen, Long load times for the internet
  • It's difficult to recommend the Garmin nuvifone G60 to consumers who can be offered similar location based services on most phones. If it was released two years ago, it would've made a giant splash in the market with its swift Linux based platform a...

  • GPS functionality is not THAT bad. Rubberized grip prevents phone from slipping out of hand
  • No multitouch. No apps. No homescreen button. No video. Sucktastic internet browser. Weak battery gave us less than a day of use. Price tag makes us think this phone is part of some elaborate Nigerian email scam

  • Great navigation features, nice touchscreen, good feature integration
  • Slow data/browsing speeds, short battery life, no car charger included, no 3.5mm jack
  • Just as the original Apple iPhone was considered by many to have been a great iPod with a phone tossed in it, the Garmin nuvifone G60 is something along those lines. It is a great GPS navigation device, and an OK phone. It does most of the things a mo...

  • The Garmin Nuvifone G60 comes preloaded with North American maps and points of interest. The GPS-enabled smartphone is an accurate navigator and delivers decent call quality.
  • The G60's smartphone capabilities are limited. The accelerometer doesn't work all the time, and the user interface needs some work.
  • The Garmin Nuvifone G60 makes a fine navigator but fails as a smartphone. It's not worth the money. Read full review See all prices Check coverage in your area

  • If only the rest of the phone measured up. Let's start with the Linux-powered G60's user interface, which is completely different than most other smartphones. The home screen straddles the line between a navigation device and a cell phone. Three b...

  • Stellar GPS navigation. Good call quality and reception.
  • No video player, video recorder, third-party app support, MMS, or instant messaging. Poor camera. Tinny speaker hobbles voice prompts. Expensive.
  • The Garmin nuvifone G60 offers superb GPS navigation and decent call quality, but it's a one-trick pony that falls short in nearly every other way....

  • Cool look, thin device. Much smaller than the PNDs it might replace.
  • Um, could somebody please get us a working model? This one doesnt turn on. NillSlightMODERATEPalpableExtreme
  • There isnt much to say about our hands-on time with the Garmin Nuvifone, since the prototype we saw wouldnt even power up. The phone is very thin, especially with other portable navigation devices in mind. Its also nice and sleek, a simple black o...

  • Abstract:  Garmin makes the best portable navigators out there. Millions of people, including me, are fans. But following notoriously lengthy delays, the first Nuvifone should have been euthanized, not put on AT&T shelves next to the iPhone—for $100 more. The...

  • Excellent navigation software; Android operating system; loud built-in speaker.
  • Interface can become sluggish when too many apps are running.
  • The Garmin-Asus A10 is definitely a big improvement over its predecessors, thanks to the Android operating system. While the Garmin navigation application has always been good, the various fruits of the Garmin-Asus collaboration have always been lacki...
