OK, now we're talking. The first Garmin-Asus smartphone ($299.99-549.99, ) wasn't even really a smartphone; it was a good navigation device wrapped in one of the worst cell phones I've ever tested. Fortunately, the joint venture's second attempt, the T-Mobile Garminfone, is a huge improvement. It's the best choice for drivers looking to replace a high-end PND and a current T-Mobile cell phone; just remember that navigation comes first, and the Garminfone isn't quite cutting-edge in other areas.
