24 Jul
We are not holding our breath on this one, but Garmin has yet again announced that the nuvifone G60 is finally ready for a release, and this time, the date isn’t in months but days, 27th of July to be exact. Hard to believe it after seeing them get ready to release it and then back off again at the final moment so many times before, but something tells us this might be the real deal after all. The nuvifone will apparently be available initially in Taiwan starting July 27th with Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Malaysia soon to follow by the end of next month. Also ready for release is the nuvifone M20, which is almost identical in specs to the G60, but runs Windows Mobile 6.1 (can be upped to 6.5 when that’s released) instead of the Linux operating system that we have seen on the former handset. No details on the price yet, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for anymore information on this one. Read on for a complete spec sheet on both the G60 and M20 nuvifones.
