White Garmin NuviPhone to Battle White iPhone?
17 06 2008
Not sure if Garmin did decide to make a white Nuvifone (photo below). At any rate, I’d prefer this phone in black. A better picture comes to us by way of Laptop Magazine via Gizmodo. As expected, the 3.5-inch touch screen is crisp and UI a refreshing departure from iPhone’s sophisticated icon-based home screen. The Nuvifone is kinda pricey, which makes us sad to note it may never see much actual usage by the public. At $500 and a 2-year AT&T contract is a tough sell when you have a better phone from the same provider at a third of the price. The added HSDPA of the NuviPhone, I’m afraid, just ain’t worth the extra 300 bucks.
Watch the tempting video demo. We know it’s overpriced based on the current pricing paradigm (read: “$199 iPhone”), but the UI just takes you away.
