Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 - User Reviews

  • Nokia C5-06 is better than this phone and its perform like a HANUMAN.........it has lot of advanced funtions...with free navigation and cheapest smart phone....be wise enogh to get it soooooooooooon.............

  • www.nokia.com

  • www.nokia.com

  • Hi i m sani can buy this hand set ??? wt abt cost it self? i lovw this hand set very comfortable device for me

  • this is very good experience for me///// comparing other different fro m othe

  • thanks for ur comments.

  • ya very poor battery back up.....

  • Ths is the worst phone i have ever user.The battery backup is pathetic.Does do even last for a day if u talk for more than 1 hr. Suggest to who ever reading this post to never go for this phone. This is from my personal experience.

  • good

  • If anybody interested in gps garmin here is the link: http:/cyclinggpsunit.blogspot.com

  • I thought of buying this right away when i saw the abilities of it BUT then i saw the batterylife and then I looked at it and god that saaks. So by the batterylife I think I am not going to buy this 1.

  • Does anybody know how long does the battery hold a charge with a normal use?

  • its a good phone like n95 but camera must b 5 m.p with flesh atleast

  • you can use it but it would be quite useless when you have got nothing to do with its GPS right there.

  • Having researched heavily about this phone ... and now having used it for a month... First the bad news... The battery life is pathetic... doesnt even last 24 hours... And I am not a heavy phone user. My 3 year old Sony Ericsson K790i lasts upto 3 days with normal use which is still my main phone. Not great if you SMS a lot, touch screens aernt good with sms anyway and in this case the interface is also slow. Windows mobile is new to me... the speed difference is huge... the M20 is a turtle compared to the sony. Not user friendly at all... required a lot of prior knowledge of windows mobile. Good news: GPS is very good. Somestimes it takes a while to lock on to satellites (upto ten mins). When it does it works like a charm. Even worked on a flight, sitting next to a window of course. Sound quality is also good... and the speaker phone is also amazing, very useful for voice guided navigation. Screen resolution is one of the best available. Size and weight only 99 grams is very handy. Comes with car kit and a well designed case (which is now showing signs of wear n tear in less than a month) I use this phone mainly for checking emails on the move and for its GPS... which it does both pretty well but the battery life is just unacceptable... 920mAh is too less for a smartphone.... I think Garmin-Asus should redesign the battery n do a recall.... otherwise a very good phone.

  • performance 7.5 uh uh*

  • sweet

  • I upgraded to WM 6.5, because I had issues with my network in Poland, new new WM seems to solved the problems with connecting to network but definatelly slows the phone down. Also it completly eliminates the start menu its just icons now.

  • i am also purchased M20 in Taiwan,this phone appearance only in chines language.if u hv ani wayout to make appearance in english,please tell me... TQ

  • To everyone,who familiar with Novifone M20. Today i had purchased an Asus in Taiwan.The Problem is NUVIFONE M20 use the local language.(IMEI:352860030202247) my question is,HOW TO CHANGE THE CHINES LANGUAGE TO ENGLISH. TQ

  • this phone is like my t.v remote.......hahahaha

  • wi would like to buy this phone..complete with a GPS..omg.. love it...

  • when's available in us Asus nuvifone M20 ?

  • Bought my M20 about 3 weeks ago in Taiwan and am enjoying it. GPS is great, obtains lock very quickly, but must be out in the open with clear line to the sky. Size of phone is good for those that want a small convenient phone, but not great for constant GPS use or frequent emailing/office type apps. I leave GPS off most of the time and the battery lasts approximately 2 or 3 days. Most shops in Taiwan will give extra original spare battery and extra color case for free.

  • Can i use this phone in Iran? Is this supported here?

  • how long the battery will last if u are using GPS

  • m20 is upgradeable to windows mobile 6.5 ihave read on garmin asus website

  • you can from SEC penang

  • You can buy it at Asus Malaysia for RM2099. If u found it please reply here..

  • How much in RM? Is't true the battery only lasted 1 hour? Then, what's the function of having multifx without ever get the chance of full use? Any comparison new + original model below RM2,000? Suggestion please. TQ

  • gps 1 hr 50 minutes till battery gone

  • no card slot? good looking with no good function

  • I've been waiting for this phone for several months. Seems like Garmin-Asus has announced release dates for Asia... "Also in August, the Garmin-Asus n�vifone M20 will go on sale in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia." in the Garmin-Asus website. No definite dates for rest of the world though. Yay!

  • when's this gona come to market it take so long since Feb.09 waiting to buy but can not find any dealer to have it why?

  • Hi friends. What about the GPS accuracy of location positioning Thanks.

  • I just can't wait to have one.

  • As long as Garmin or MFM could provide the maps

  • With 4GB/8GB phone memory , I think its more than enough.

  • exactly

  • So... basically this is a HTC Touch Diamond?

  • nice phone

  • battery less than 1000mah... how many hours would it stands..... i think it should be powered with higher capacity for it comfort for running gps device...

  • excellent

  • What is with phone manufacturers putting out beautiful images of a phone only to have the real thing look so bland!?

  • gps stands for global positioning system, it work everywhere on earth, and most likely you could find a map for your region; or use garmin xt for a more specific map

  • is the gps of this unit works in philippines?

  • Well, its made in association with Garmin, so the GPS should be of a better grade than most available PDAs/Smartphones in the market now.

  • The phone is perfect if you don't want to store extra stuff in your card. i love the design though, i love everything. i just wish that they added a card slot. C'mon,it is 2009, year of wifi and card slot

  • I love the design of this phone but no card slot should be a problem for those who love storing data and listening music on their phone. And the battery,Li-Ion 920 mAh isnt enough, at least for me. Anyway, I will buy it when its released.

  • Nice hi-res screen for a compact phone. How about A-GPS? Headphone jack? And no microSD slot? Hopefully that'll change before release.
