Garmin T-Mobile Garminfone Review - PCWorld
Unsurpassed navigation in a smartphone Good integration of Android into navigation...Camera isn't as good as that of competitors CPU lags behind others in category and price...On a grueling trip to Canada and back, the Garminfone proved a comforting companion...Dialing on the touchscreen with haptic feedback was easy, and the call quality was generally good......

Aaron's Garmin-Asus Garminfone review | PhoneDog
GPS capabilities are fantastic, and the phone is sleek...The Garminfone ships with Android 1.6...The navigation capabilities on the Garminfone are second to none, but at $199, I'd consider other devices on the market before I made a final decision...

Garmin-ASUS Garminfone
Classy sturdy design ; Reliable intuitive GPS navigation experience ; Garmin Voice Studio lets you record custom voice directions ; Included windshield...No 3.5mm headphone jack ; Poorly designed web browser ; Sluggish performance for the price ; Runs older...But the Garminfone, as the second device to hit the U.S...And although the Garminfone runs a dated version of Android (1.6),...

Garmin-Asus Garminfone Review
Superior GPS software Good photos...Laggy typing experience Personalization is not cool ...Always supplanting itself as a top tiered GPS manufacturer, the Garminfone will need to excel over its sour beginnings if it intends on being a force in the smartphone world as it's already crowded with a mix...
