Coming as no surprise, the GarminFone from T-Mobile is getting a price cut. From the original price of $199, down 70 bones to $129. Of course, this new price requires a new 2-yr contract. In a recent statement from analyst Yair Reiner of Morgan Keegan, Reiner surveyed 50 T-Mobile stores and estimated only 20,000 units have moved off the shelves and concluded that no more than 5 GarminFones were sold at each store.
Garmin-Asus responded quickly, saying that the GarminFone sales are fine and are moving along as expected. Were they expecting a flop? A price cut this early in the game can only mean one thing.

I’m a long time customer of T-Mobile. When it comes to Android smartphones, (minus G1) they continue to struggle maybe because their always outbid. This will continue unless T-Mobile takes a chance, which is unlikely

I just pruchased one today at $99 (after rebate) for wife.
What’s not to like? It’s really a nice phone!

The garmin app looks great. I watched a few videos of it, it looks quite polished and refined. The Google Navigation is nice, but the Garmin really steps it up. I’d rather they release a separate app instead of confining themselves to only one phone. I’d probably be willing to pay upwards of $10-20 if the maps stayed up to date.

He wanted an android phone and he went into a tmobile store and bought it on a whim
He loves it and says its a great phone for him, now if only it was rooted….
