Garmin Nuvifone To Be Made By Asus, Won't Be Renamed Nuvifoneee
Posted by Benny Goldman at 10:11 AM on June 19, 2008
Garmin's super-hyped GPS-focused nuvifone will be made by Asustek, according to "sources in the industry". The move to outsource is a first for Garmin, who usually keep all manufacturing in-house. Expect to see it in Q4 of this year. [Digitimes via Unwired View]

I love the big answer and ignore buttons on touch screen phones these days, I really want a hack that changes the red one to something like "F@#$ OFF"

@bobdobbs: It's worth the risk of double-posting to point out how inexplicably hard that made me laugh. (Yes it is worth it.)
And to ask whether this means I should sell my Garmin stock.

I'm so getting one of these just so my voicemail can say, "Hello and thank you for calling my Nuvifone!"

Does this thing run Linux or is it a proprietary OS?

@92BuickLeSabre: Phew. After I clicked submit, I spent at least 5 minutes wondering if a moviefone reference was a little too '90s for this crowd.
Then again, you and I (and McRib?) are probably too '90s for this crowd.
Giggle amongst yourselves...

What an awkward angle to photograph (er, render?) a product shot. It would be much easier to appreciate if it were rotated 180°.

Big buttons and still no ignore with text like most treos, to reply with
"F@#$ OFF".

'Much hyped'?
As the blog that does a sex wee at the mearest mention of the iPhone, that's pretty rich!
