Asus has introduced two new GPS-enabled smartphone models -- M20 and G60 -- in the Indian market in alliance with Garmin, a maker of navigation oriented devices.
Earlier this year, Asus had announced that it is partnering with Garmin to sell location enabled/oriented phones and what we see now is the fruition of the same alliance. Let's see what these two models have to offer you. We start with the M20 which comes with a 2.8-inch touch screen and weighs in at 99 grams and comes loaded with the recently launched Windows Mobile 6.5 mobile OS. The G60 is the larger of the two phones has a bigger screen (3.5 inch). Both the smartphones incorporate a carfinder feature and a 3 megapixelcamera. The images taken by the phones are geotagged as well. Unlike the G20, which uses Windows Mobile, the G60 runs a customized Linux OS.
On the features front, both come with a decent full HTML browser and support for various connectivity options including 3.5G and W-Fi. Apart from the navigation abilities of the phones, both the devices also act as extremely capable mobile phones and come with almost all the features you'd expect from "normal" mobile phones. Other features include proprietary features like Location Link, which is aimed at helping the user reach a location by just selecting the PoI and then by navigating to the desired destination, and the Carfinder feature which helps the user to easily find his car even in an outdoor parking. There's support for Panoramio shots as well.
