Did you remember that AT&T launched their own version of the Garmin Nuvifone? Really, they did. And now T-Mobile is said to be getting an Android-based version of the same handset, which probably means it’ll at least sell better than the AT&T version. If they’ve figured out a way to make the User Interface (UI) better, that’d be a good first step in the right direction, at least. Now, as far as Canada goes, it looks like TELUS is going to be the carrier to land the phone made from a GPS company.
Apparently, the people that mattered up in Garmin-land knew that the AT&T version wasn’t the model they wanted to pass around the world, so rumors are saying that the version the Canadian wireless carrier will be getting is going to be much more like the T-Mobile USA version. So that means it will probably feature Android as well. It will also feature similar hardware specs to the AT&T model: 3.5-inch touchscreen display, 3MP camera on the back, and support for MicroSD card expansion.
As for the features, you can expect to find Garmin’s GPS navigation on the handset, along with WiFi and Bluetooth. There’s no word on how much it will cost. In fact, there’s no official word from either TELUS or Garmin about the consistency of these reports, but if they are indeed launching it in June, obviously we’ll be finding out very soon what the deal is.
