There have been many unique pairings recently for the good of wireless technology, such as Google and Verizon's decision to team up and create a line of Android phones to be manufactured by Motorola. During the first week of October (2009), however, ...

As mentioned, the device is being called the Garmin Nuvifone G60 and at $300, it may not yet be worth it -- especially when considering the necessary two-year AT&T contract at $70 a month or more. Before we jump to conclusions, however, let's discuss ...

In the two years it languished as vaporware, the Garmin Nuvifone G60 was hyped by various tech outlets as everything from a smartphone savior to an iPhone killer. (We at Wired resisted such sensationalism.) But now the GPS-enabled smartphone is ...

GPS functionality is not THAT bad. Rubberized grip prevents phone from slipping out of hand
