Garmin reported in their shareholders meeting today that...

...the nuvifone will be released on the open market in Asia this month or early July and said it is "getting very close" to a carrier launch of some models in the U.S.

The delays have been endless, but I hope they are really that close. One reason...I need a new phone!

Yeah if Garmin thought working with carriers was easy, the company was definitely in for a rude awakening. The June/July time frame does jibe with what Reuters reported back in April so it's looking like this little guy may actually see the light of day. We shall see.
