PhoneArena just reviewed Garmin-Asus’ delayed but finally out, Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone, the M20,and it doesn’t look good…
The Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 is a decent navigation system and relatively acceptable Windows Mobile smartphone. Still, we would go for Asus-made phone and pure sat-nav system by Garmin rather than a cross of these two. The menu lagging, puny camera, lack of video capabilities and poor in-call quality make the phone unusable on daily basis except for navigation. At the same time, the Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 delivers the functionality of a mainstream navigational system, while being more expensive than most of them, not to mention the Nokia 6710 Navigator and HTC Touch Cruise are superior and by far. Our only hope now lies with the nuvifone G60 that also got announced at MWC 2009 and looks more promising than the M20.

UPDATE: Asus informed me that the phone used for the review isn’t a production sample (probably has an early ROM). Some of the problems metioned in the preview should be fixed in the commmercialized version.
