Looks similar to the iPhone, but Garmin Nuvifone has a proprietary Garmin OS, HSDPA, Quad-band GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.5” touchscreen (not sure if its multi-touch, but that definitely is the same size screen as the iPhone).
The interface is completely touch based, it has 4 primary functions, web browsing, messaging, phone calls, and navigation, and from the sounds of it, it does them all quite well. It is also heavily integrated with Google, specifically in relation to navigational tasks.
On the GPS side, other than being able to use Google maps, you also get access to Garmin Online which will get you real-time traffic updates, fuel prices, stock prices, sports scores, news reports, local events, and weather forecasts. Also, since its from Garmin, it obviously has its own set of GPS maps built in with your choice of North America or Eastern and Western Europe, or you can have both.[via phonemag]
