Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 US Review
Score: 38.9 / 100Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 US is a not very powerful Windows Mobile Professional device released in February 2009, provisioned with a powerful CPU ticking at 528 MHz, a 3 megapixels back-facing camera and a little 2.8 inches screen. Let's take a deeper sight of what this phone has to offer.
It appears that Garmin decided not to care much about the weight in this 3.49 oz cellphone. This cellphone isn't really a compact cellphone, taking into account that it is 3.75 inches long and 2.07" wide,but it just contains a 2.8 inches display.
Garmin decided to design the Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 US using a quite powerful CPU running at 528 megahertz. A good feature of this cellphone is the 8 GB quite big internal memory and although it doesn't have an SD card slot, it should be enough to store hundreds of applications, but it probably wouldn't be suitable if you are fan of the largest games currently available or taking tons of photos and videos.
This phone has a interesting 640 x 480 (VGA) 2.8-inches display, which makes all images and movies look very good. Its display uses TFT resistive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.
The Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 US only has a 3 mega-pixels back facing camera. This phone also has geo tagging and auto-focus.
This phone features WiFi capability (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM connection.
This phone also comes with some useful features such as Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and Accelerometer.
This cellphone packs a poor capacity 920 mAh Li-Polymer replaceable battery that provides this phone a poor battery life comparing with other similar devices. This cellphone has an aproximate stand by time of 260 hs and a talk time of 2.8 hs according to Garmin.
