+casey97 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 The reason I ask is my wife really wants an Iphone and I would not mind another GPS. Both the Iphone and the Nuvifone are AT&T only. Quote Link to comment
NordicMan Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Check this out http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/09/29/gar...ober-4-for-299/ Yep the Nuviphone should work OK with Geocaching. Just be careful with it out in the woods! Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Has anyone reviewed the Nuvifone, and its cache capabilities? This review makes me glad I did not wait for it to come out before upgrading our phones. Given the restrictive nature of the Linux based OS that the nuviphone uses, I wonder if it could be used for caching. I have Garmin Mobile XT on my ASUS pda/gpsr and its great for driving directions but could not get you to a cache -- for that you need another application. Perhaps the "nuvi" part of the phone would work for caching (I doubt if it would support whereigos), but I have my questions about it for a number of reasons I have heard that Garmin-Asus is planning to release other models with other OS's. Perhaps by the time my present contract expires, they will have gotten it right. But for now . . . . Edited October 7, 2009 by Erickson Quote Link to comment
+The Lazy Sunbathers Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I was, at first, excited about this new phone and it's possible caching abilities but after reading some reviews I think that I'm going to wait for the next generation to hit the shelves. It took the iPhone a while to get really good too so I'm sure it'll happen. Quote Link to comment

guggie Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) The Garmin Nuviphone just got one of the 5 worst "turkey" products of the year in a CNET review. "Fails as a phone" & "not worth the money" http://cnettv.cnet.com/tech-turkeys/9742-1...tml?tag=nl.e404 Edited November 24, 2009 by guggie Quote Link to comment
