T-Mobile's Garmin Garminfone video tour

Here's Todd's look at the Garmin Garminfone for T-Mobile USA. The Garminfone is an Android device that is focused on GPS navigation and related tasks, while offering a Garmin-ASUS modified user interface that is very nice to look at. It is a near clone of the Garmin-ASUS A50 that was launched at Mobile World Congress. More info: http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=9277

OMG gotta have!

[tattiipr]

DONT GET THIS PHONE. i HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS BUT I HATE IT! wHY? BECAUSE I CANT HANG UP MY CALLS SO EVERYONE HEARS WHATS GOING ON. IN ORDER TO HANG UP THE CALL I HAVE TO REMOVE THE BATTERY CUZ THE TOUCH SCREEN WIL JUST FREEZE. TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO DIAL TO. GPS CORDINATES ARE NOT EXACT. EXAMPLE I LIVE ON 1434 FAKE STREET AND THE GPS READS MY LOCATION AS 1476 FAKE STREET. WTF?!?

@ChineseLoveSong you can't get live wallpapers past its 2.1 firmware, its not the "options" its just the fact that its proprietary software doesn't support it

the GPS works without data plan :D

I know the Garmin is an Android phone, but i'm more of an apple iphone girl and I don't know anything about droid phones but does this garmin have the android app world?

Is it Life time Map Update?

[miniprizes]

@ilovecappuccino1 Well it depends on how many lines you have. How many lines do you have? Cuz if it's just you, then yes you have to buy the plan.

Do you need internet/data plan to get GPS on this phone?? PLEASE ANSWER! I really want this phone, and t-mobile said I do need it, but, people are saying you don't, Please answer! :)

I want to have live wallpapers for this phone, but this phone don't have that options. I've try installing a different launcher with live wallpapers it end up didn't work plus it made my home screen > theme options disappear. Master reset probably will fix it. If anyone know how to modded this phone to use live wallpapers please send me a tutorial on how to do it. thanks.

@ChineseLoveSong I finally fixed the phone, I had to download an app called FXR wifi fixer, cured my problem instantly. Apparently some operating system files were bad or something.
