I'm not sure what to think of it. When I first heard about it months ago, I wondered if it would be based on Android. Apparently it's based on its own proprietary OS. For someone like me, that's bad. I don't think you would be able to install or do much other than the features that it provides. But for the average user, this phone might be a really good alternative to the iPhone. It looks like it would be really easy to use.

I like Garmin's GPS products though. I have a Nüvi 350 and a GPSmap 76CSx. They're really good about keeping their firmware updated. And I remember they were pretty quick to add support for Vista 32 and 64.

Hmm, I also wouldn't want it to use a proprietary OS Chug, but I too like Garmin's GPS line and plan on getting a Nuvi 350 for my wife, so it's certainly an interesting development.
