Garmin-Asus has another Garminfone/nuvifone on the way to AT&T, so sayeth recent FCC filings. The filing shows support for 850 / 1900 MHz, suggesting AT&T availability at some point.

T-Mobile Garminfone Now Available for $199.99
As expected, the T-Mobile Garminfone is now available for $199.99 on contract after rebates.

The Garminfone just got really real.

There are still many questions about the intriguing Windows Phone 7 Series from Microsoft, but the company is slowly releasing more details.
