Sucks for you if you live in the US, good news is it might come to the US in another few month, but by that time, there will be way too many handsets to choose from, I think Garmin should release in the US as soon as possible as it's still the biggest market for new cell phones.

My impression from the hands-on is that Garmin has made what they know to do best-a GPS-and they combined it with a 3G smartphone is a smooth way. The result is a nicely balanced unit that has the advantage of having everything you expect in a GPS and all the features you expect in a modern smartphone, all under an easy to use interface.

We will give you a more extensive verdict once we get a final unit, which is supposed to arrive in the first half of 2009.
