Do you anyone who owns a Garminfone?  I don't.  Now I am not really sure how many units T-mobile sold the Garminfone, but i know it's pretty crappy numbers.

With reports going around before this that T-Mobile's Garminfone wasn't enjoying very much success; it's probably another blow to the device as T-Mobile has lowered its asking price for the Garminfone to $129.99.

Some features of the Garminfone:

• * 3.5″ 320 x 480 capacitive multi-touch screen
  
• * 4 GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD card slot
  
• * HSDPA 3.6 Mb/s
  
• * WiFi 802.11 b/g
  
• * Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
  
• * an autofocus 3.15 Megapixel camera
  
• * aGPS and Garmin Navigation

Still not too attractive when you can get a Samsung Vibrant for only $199 (Samsung Galaxy S) right

Both Samsung Supersonic and Motorola Charm are upcoming T-mobile smart phone, the Samsung Supersonic is probably the Samsung Vibrant that was announced a few days ago, it's not a name change,  Supersonic is actually a code name according to Tmonews.

The Samsung Vibrant/Supersonic will run you $199 with a 2 years contract.  But $449 without a contract, which I think it's pretty fair considering how powerful the handset is.

Tmonews also revealed the price of the upcoming entry phone by Motorola, the so call Motorola Charm, the phone will only run you $79 with a 2 year contract.  It's another one of the feature phones that targets teens.
