Garmin-Asus M10: Windows Mobile 6.5.3 with Built-in Navigation

The new Garmin-Asus M10 is the second-only Windows Mobile 6.5.3 device to hit the market (the first being Sony Ericsson’s Aspen). As the name implies, this phone’s best feature is its built-in navigation software. However, the M10 does more than just simple turn-by-turn directions – it integrates location-awareness into several of the phone’s frequently-used applications, including the calendar, contacts, email, internet browser, and messaging.

The phone’s hardware includes 512 MB RAM and ROM, 4 GB of storage, a 3.5-inch touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard, HSDPA wireless and 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi support, and a 5-megapixel camera that automatically geotags your photos. You can then upload those geotagged pics using the built-in Facebook app or email them to your friends or colleagues with the messaging system which offers support for Microsoft Exchange.

This phone will launch in Europe and Asia in the first half of this year.
