Even before their first phone, Nuvifone G60, is out, the newly formed partnership of Garmin and Asus has announced their second phone called M20.

What’s different about this one? First of all, it will run on the popular Windows Mobile 6.1, 2.8 inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi, dual-band HSDPA up to 7.2Mbps, tri-band EDGE, full QWERTY keyboard, “PC-Like web browsing” and Garmin’s own satellite navigation system which will be a major focus of the device.

No exact time or price is available at this moment but most likely before mid this year. We know G60 had already passed FCC last December.

Garmin Nuvifone is coming. At least it’s getting closer. Today, they announced their partnership with Asus and renamed the phone to Nuvifone G60.

Garmin-Asus plans on producing phones on multiple operating systems, including Windows Mobile, Linux and Google’s Android platform, said Jonney Shih, chairman of Asustek, at a news conference in Taipei. The phones will feature a host of LBS functions, including services such as location-tagged photos and geo-directed social networking.

Nuvifone G60 recently passed the FCC in December 2009 but no specific dates, price, or the operator has been announced.

Are they already planning for Nuvifone failure? If they were confident that this will be the true iPhone Killer, why would they need to move to Android based phone? Or, is it possible that they’ve finalized realized how complicated the phone software can be?

We almost forgot about this iPhone Killer from Garmin but apparently they have been making progress. It has finally passed through the FCC for US lanuch. However, no word on whether they were able to secure any carrier deals and how much it will sell for. With the carrier deal, like BB Storm, Apple iPhone, etc. the carriers subsidize the phone to be more affordable like $199 range. However, without the carrier deal the customer has to pay full price for the phone making the cost quite high, e.g. Sony Ericsson Experia for over $500.

Their list goes like this

1. Blackberry Bold

2. HTC Touch Pro

3. LG Voyager

4. LG Dare

5. Nokia N96

6. Samsung OMNIA

7. Samsung Instinct

8. Garmin Nuvifone

All of these phones can be found on this website for additional information and we even have many of the phones they don’t know about.
