I take back what i told regarding Samsung service center. I gave my old samsung on 2 Sep for mother board change and got it back today, 22-Sep.
But anyway better than Asus servicing.

Alan G, 26 Aug 2011From reading other posts on this forum it would seem that t... moreyes, Alan. You cant expect the same service u get in AUS / US elsewhere in the world.
I got my garmin back yesterday and i am quite happy with the performance. I think i got an upgraded motherboard than the older one i had.
I now know why there can be issues with Garmin A10. It gets HEATED UP rather quickly, damaging the other components as well. In my case, along with mother board, the touch screen and battery got compromised.
So guys, please keep ur garmin under control and keep it cool. Otherwise u will get angry. :).
Enjoy,
Rosh.

Alan G, 24 Aug 2011Rosh what country are you from ??.Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
Just now i checked again, the service guy told, sir 2 more days... It is really a disaster... Still waiting for mother board..
Samsung provides much better servicing. My bro got his mother board replaced and he got back his mob in 3 days..!!!

Hi Guys, I am back again. Now without a A10. It is lying in service center for one month. I gave it last july 26. The complaint was battery getting drained out. Now they have changed battery, touchpad and now mother board. I wonder what these guys have sold me...
I used to say FOR a10, yes it is a very good mobile as per functionality it serves, but whaz the use if it is not ON ?
I recommend Samsung + any GPS unit. They are far better in getting serviced. Why, 'cause Garmin is gonna close their service center soon after 2011. Then if your mobile gets issues, better buy a new one.
Cheers guys.

I had a faulty battery charger and my dealer went to the trouble of having a new one couriered to me over night at no cost to me . Its a shame when poor dealer service ruins the reputation of a good company like Garmin ASUS .

This phone buying is worst decision of my life too even I suggested this phone my friends after red specification and Specially for navigation. we all purchased it in scheme from "CROMA" surat . We Bought4 pcs and out of them 3 pcs had factory faulted one pcs had hanging problem, another had camera and one had network problem .Now when we went to croma they hands up from their responsibility that now you can go to service center after that when we reached to service center they replaced all phones Motherboard circuits and give us back after 1 month instead of 3 day's commitment. There after two of them had battery problem this time also they took 15 days to replace battery and in behalf of camera problem it's still going on
From my this Horrible experince I never suggest any one to buy GARMIN ASUS phone or any other Telecom product.
