            hmm..i don't know...it is a garminphone yes so that means it's a nav-smartphone,so wouldn't it make much more sense putting costs aside and go for a bigger screen???physical form factor's nice but D-pad's area are still bezel overkill if you ask me.anyways if internal specs are alright this is still gonna sell maybe.

You want the best navigation, it's OviMaps, TomTom and Google learnt that, especially the former on the NYSE.

                    Shinigami, 11 Feb 20103 megapixel camera? What year is it? 2007? Besides, after ... moreThat's what I thought but you have to remember that not many people use the camera on phones, think about it do you use the the camera on yours a lot? Didn't think so.

                    People only use them for like uploading to social networking sites or just some friends and family pics then 3MP is fine.

                          Besides, after Nokia announced free for all maps on Symbian devices, I don't see much sense in Garmin-Asus phones any more. Unless they're dirt-cheap or have THAT much better and more detailed maps.

                            seems ok, its price will be the deciding factor for everthing cause apart from the Navigation its just another version of the HTC Magic
