The Garmin-Asus nuvifone G60 is a triband HSDPA smartphone released for AT&T in October 2009 as an upgrade from the AT&T Navigator. Like the Navigator, the Nuvifone G360 provides navigation services — including traffic, weather, fuel price updates, etc.

— but goes a step further by fully integrating the service into email, contacts, and SMS. In case a user is emailed an address, for instance, he or she can just click on it, instead of having to exit the application and manually type in the address. Keep in mind that these services are free for the first 30-days (trial Nuvifone Premium Connect), but will cost $5.99/month after expiration. Additional features include a 3.55” touchscreen display, 3.2MP camera, Bluetooth connectivity, microSD expansion, integrated WiFi, and 4GB of internal memory. It is slated to retail for $299.99 (2-year contract) AFTER a $100 mail-in rebate.
