Garmin Asus nuvifone M10 unboxing video

The Garmin name is synonymous with GPS and satellite navigation and this new nuvifone M10 couples Asus’s phone expertise with Garmin’s proven GPS navigation technology. It should make for a formidable integrated navigation device.

Asus have crammed in a 3.5″ WVGA touchscreen which is ideal for displaying the detailed 3D maps, all of which comes pre-installed as part of the package. There’s 4GB of internal memory as well as a MicroSDHC memory card slot. The nuvifone M10 is also the first fully converged Location Based Services (LBS) smartphone with integrated GPS.

You get everything you need to use this device in-car too, a cradle and windscreen mount and car charger.

It seems a little odd to have another Windows Mobile 6.5.3 handset on the market though, especially with WP7 hitting the market this week. So to find out whether or not that all matters you’ll have to wait a week or two for the full review. For now you can check out the unboxing video below.

The Garmin ASUS nuvifone M10 is a combination of Garmin’s proven GPS navigation system and the highly popular Windows Mobile platform, making it the perfect all-round digital assistant. It is the first fully converged Location Based Services (LBS) smartphone with integrated GPS.

The nuvifone M10 is ready to use as a satellite navigation device as soon as you take it out of the box, setting it apart from other GPS enabled Smartphones.

The nuvifone M10 aims to provide the best possible navigation solution. European maps are intergrated with no extra cost or hidden fees.
