Garmin Nuvifone G60 Mobile Phone
February 4, 2010
Garmin is well-known as a market leader in the satellite navigation solutions, and let us see how far it succeeds in the mobile phone market, through this review of one of its latest addition, Garmin nuvifone G60 Mobile Phone. This is a quad-band GSM mobile phone, with EDGE, GPRS and UMTS/HSDPA support. Design-wise, it pronounces a GPS look. However, with a matt finish body of dimension 4.4 inches X 2.3 inches X 0.57 inches and a weight of 4.8 oz, this is an appropriately sized mobile phone.
The LCD display of Garmin Nuvifone G60 3G Mobile Phone measures 3.5 inches in size and has a resolution 272 X 480 pixels. It provides a vibrant and colourful view of images and videos, but there is no enough resistance to heavy sunlight. The display automatically changes to portrait and landscape mode when you just turn the phone to the respective angles. The icons on the touch screen display are pretty large and comfortable to click. You can navigate through the menu easily and fast. The phone book of Garmin nuvifone G60 can hold up to 5000 contacts, with their details including birthday, e-mail addresses, additional numbers and so on.
Garmin nuvifone G60 GPS Mobile Phone supports most of the messaging services except MMS, and there are both traditional as well as QWERTY keyboards available in it, to enter the texts. Besides, it can automatically set up the e-mail for you, as soon as you enter the address and password. Two drawbacks in its e-mail functions are the lack of options to send attachments and the inability to view the HTML display.
Coming to its most highlighted feature, the GPS, we must tell you that nuvifone G60 presents you with bright maps and routes, and quick routing and re-routing facilities. The directions are voice-prompted. No much difficulty is faced to understand its turn-by-turn directions, as they are loud and clear enough to make out. You can get the live updates on weather, gas prices etcetera, but need subscriptions. The points of interests and yellow pages are available in it, but they take time to load, while you search. Despite of the presence of 3G and Wi-Fi, the overall loading of web pages in this 3G mobile phone is found to be pretty slow.
Furthermore, Garmin nuvifone G60 mobile phone comes with a 3 mega pixels camera. The overall quality of the pictures taken with it cannot be claimed to be of high quality, but are printable. The lack of video capturing is a highly disappointing factor in this Garmin mobile phone. Similarly, there is no video play back as well. In terms of memory, Garmin nuvifone G60 has a 4GB on-board storage, but the available user memory is only 2GB. The maps loaded into it consumes the rest. But you have an option to expand its memory using a microSD memory card, up to a maximum of 16GB. The battery of this GPS mobile phone will lasts for 4 hours and 250 minutes, which is a medium performance.
Overall, Garmin nuvifone G60 Camera mobile phone balances with equal number of positives as well as negatives. Don’t know why Garmin left out certain important features such as video capture, video play back and camera settings to fine tune the pictures. May be it integrated too many features and failed to excel in one.
