Garmin-Asus announced today that its nüvifone M20 will now come with Windows Mobile 6.5. It had been shipping with Windows Mobile 6.1 previously.
Garmin-Asus has blended its signature navigation centric user interface with Windows Mobile 6.5. "Through its innovative integration of a phone, navigator, and browser, the nüvifone M20 is designed to enhance the lives of consumers today," said Benson Lin, Vice President and General Manager of the ASUS Handheld Business Group. "With Windows Mobile 6.5, users can enjoy the same great LBS (location-based service) features of the original nüvifone M20, but with a richer and more rewarding user experience."
The Garmin-Asus nüvifone M20 running Windows Mobile 6.5 will be available in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Czech, Turkey and other markets by the end of 2009.
Existing nüvifone M20 owners will also be able to upgrade their devices to Windows Mobile 6.5 for free. Details will be posted on the Garmin-Asus web site shortly.
