Partnerships in consumer electronics development may have been uncommon at one point, but are not so uncommon anymore. Many technologies have shown us both sides of the coin:  the big success stories and those that fade away. Most well known collaboration is probably the joint venture between Sony and Ericsson. 

I was fortunate enough to discover the Nuvifone.  This product is one resulting from an alliance between Garmin, the GPS producer, and Asus. Today the Smartphone integrates GPS receivers and Garmin comes along with a GPS which adds the ease and convenience of features from a mobile phone. Sounds fun, doesn’t it!

This long awaited crafty piece of technology has a great, simple to use menu and is equipped with two GPS receivers, which I found to be very intriguing. Not only can you use it in your car, but it is also designed to be used by pedestrians. How great is that??  I love to walk and even if walking, I can use this nifty gadget to find my way!  I’m just curious, does it recognize well known trees? I often enjoy climbing trees to have a better view.  Anyway…

It is a nice phone and I rather like it.

The second model the Nuvifone M20 was also presented at the conference, but I was only able to get footage of the G60.  So much to see and too little time!

For more information, you can take a closer look at what Engadget says about the G60 and M20 by clicking on those links.  I really think you will like what you see!  Remember, without YOU, I can’t possibly know what you want to hear more about!  So please leave your feedback and thoughts on this blog!

I hope you enjoy this interesting interview! Please let me know what you think about this phone/GPS. If you attended the conference in Barcelona or actually touched these interesting products, please share your thoughts about them!

Have fun, keep smiling and I will keep it coming, treasure seekers!
