I picked one up last month, and as a user of a gps, and phone junkie, i find it an excellent phone. After using the G1, the MyTouch and the Cliq, I am more than satisfied with its performance and resiliency. The touch screen is better than the Cliq in my opinion and the larger screen is a + for sure.

The Garminphone is great for those who don't care to get reamed for $30 per month to add a data plan, and you will not lose GPS function when you go out of cell phone tower range, unlike every other smartphone on the market, plus the Garminphone is pre-loaded with millions of points of interest, no cell tower required. Too many people are selling this phone short. Perhaps it's not as flashy as all of those "entertainment driven" cell phones. I guess the Garminphone is a phone for grown-ups.

- outdated model ???I guess TMobile said in its press release that they are going to update it to 2.1 soon.
- I would prefer Garmin Navigation(Sat-Nav) any day when compared to server-based navigation like in GoogleMaps
- I think AT&T phone had proprietary OS when compared to Garminfone which has Android, a tried and tested OS
- I think its too soon to come to a conclusion saying it it Garmin's "last foray"

I would not rule out Garminfone so soon as u did!

"A couple of years ago — even early last year, really — I think this would have made a bigger impact."

If it ran Android 1.6 a couple of years ago or early last year, that would have been awesome, esp. since there was no Android 1.6 a couple of years ago or early last year.
