  • Please clarify how to decode the device please

  • Please clarify how to decode the device please

  • Reset with Hard Keys Step 1 Power down the phone. If the phone is unresponsive from a forgotten lock code or total freeze, perform a battery reset. Remove the battery, wait five seconds, then reinsert the battery. Step 2 Press and hold the left directional key and the Power button simultaneously. It's easy to accidentally press the Up or Down directional keys on the directional pad at the same time, so take care to only press the left key. Step 3 Continue holding the left directional key and Power button as the phone powers up. After 10 seconds the message �WIPE USERDATA� appears. Release the buttons when this displays. The phone will reset, then restart.

  • Do you have a SIM in the device, and is it the same one you bought the phone with? It could be that the device is asking for the unlock code so you can use it in another network. Try and start the phone up with no SIM in it, and see what happens.

  • i had no problems with the phone that was not caused by me myself because the phone worked great untill i broke the internal screen

  • the battlr is not goog,where can i get the batt.

  • This phone is really gud but the battery hmm?where can i get a new one to buy.

  • the fone is really excellent In functions and speed and design is also superb

  • ive worked with T-mob. b4 for me this is the best phone that they have,. any one from the Philippines who knows if its avail. here >?? im ready to spend for this phone ^_^ just reply to my post if you know where i can buy it or if you have a unlocked garmin for sale ,.,. ^_^

  • Battery and memory issues . Very bad .

  • The phone is ok but it seems to lag out some times in games besides that its nice because some times you connect beyond your 3g with satellite reception as a feed

  • I have had the phone for 3 months now and love it. As this is my first smart phone I find it to be pretty good. I use the garmin navigation constantly and its nice that its true GPS and not network based. In fact I used it to read this this page on crappy edge network.

  • kicks a$$... use backcountry or gaia for usgs topo maps. great phone and gps and android.

  • The GPS on this phone is not dependent on cell service, it tracks satellites the same as other Garmin devices. That was the main reason I purchased it

  • Any body get the unlock codes for the garminfone to use on GSM Network?

  • I am considering buying this Garmin phone. Does the GPS have contour lines for bush walking and of road driving?

  • android 2.1 is available for this phone, now work completely superb, great work asus-garmin

  • Nice phone!Does not feel like a brick! Good call reception, easy to navigate, camera/video look great. Love the mp3 player sound quality and ease of use. Does what my other smartphones have done with decent size screen and lightweight feel.

  • This phone actually does have a standalone GPS. You can turn off the GSM radio and still get the same garmin navigation experience as you would in a PND.

  • This device appears to be running ANDROID 1.6 firmware with garmins premium navigation system and google turn by turn directions (google maps beta). As far as upgrading the firmware, it isnt known whether and over the air update of the andriod os wil be released.

  • Given that the chipset is Qualcomm MSM7227 according to the processor is 600mHz according to Android OS is 1.6 and no official plans yet for any newer release. Looks like a good phone for right for this year. Considering Droid and iPhone are releasing tomorrow, EVO has released, and all Android phones get free Google Maps navigation, this phone seems overpriced and outdated already. Nexus One would be better and is already on T-Mobile. The phone only has assisted GPS. This means you have to be within T-Mobiles coverage area which is very limited once you get outside of a city where you would like want to use this (for hiking, camping, exporing). The phone would be more appealing if it could function as a GPS without cell service. I have a Garmin standalone GPS. It's old but works fine everywhere with no service charge. You could probably buy it used for $40. The newer nuvis are only $99.

  • and the 3g bands

  • this phone is good looking. yet, the OS seems like Android 1.0. it's not listed what version from the specs. my question now if this phone is upgradeable to Android 2.2?

  • It's the same as Asus nuvifone A50 . The only difference us the branding.

  • I do not know what processor is in this thing, but been using this phone for a couple of days now, and I can tell you, it's pretty quick, almost as fast as my Nexus one. And in regards to Garmin interface, I downloaded GDE home replacement from market, and this thin flies, and looks great and add to that Beautiful widgets, also from market and it looks better than most phone out there. Nice phone...

  • Another T-Mobile steaming pile..

  • Why is this so expensive?? N8 looks better than this

  • another winner phone from tmo....lol

  • well one reason everyone wants a snapdragon on the phone is because the MSM chips are quite old, and a lot of new phone features are external chips. The snap dragon has a bunch of neat things built into it, like gps, fm radio receiver etc, and because of this i think it helps battery life slightly, and i know beyond doubt that because snapdragon chips have gps built into it, gps software lock onto satellites really fast (unlike the msm run phones that usually take a whole lotta time)

  • hows phone work

  • It SHOULD be a Snapdragon, unfortunately they've knee-capped it (smashed it in the knee-caps with a blunt, and heavy object, there-by slowing it down needlessly) and given it the Qualcomm MSM7227, which is for cheap (sub $150) smartphones, not $200+ smartphones (seeing as that's $200 WITH a 2yr contract). What a waste.

  • Because snapdragon processors rullllllleee man !!!

  • why does the processor have to be a snapdragon?

  • Qualcomm MSM7227

  • it comes with a small q-tip size stylus for you to suck on...

  • Does anyone know what kind of processor this thing is going to have? If it doesn't have the Snapdragon 1ghz it's going to be pointless.

  • Anyone know how kind of processor this thing is supposed to have? I don't know if it's worth it unless it's the Snapdragon 1Gig.

  • is nice to have garmin for offline nav but specs are 1st gen android phone like htc magic / mytouch 3G. welcome back to 2008.
