Perhaps overpriced at launch, T-Mobile is letting the GPS-centric Garminfone find its own balanced level of pricing...

Wow it's nice to see that t-mobile is starting to give existing customers some better deals on phones. But how-about they start giving better deals with phones that people want. I would rather have a low end samsung phone then this Garminfone

Have you even seen the phone? I played with one in the store and it's interface is actually quite interesting, better I would say than the crappy skin Samsung put over their android phones.

lol. id take touchwiz over this thing anyways. obviously u never played with it long. u cant do widgets or any real customizations on the phone. The phone is good hardware and a nice wide screen but its killed by the crappy overlays. If CM got ahold of it and put base android on there, it would be a much better phone.

So the phone had a "Linux based" OS and now has Android? Android is (besides being WILDLY over-rated) Linux based. This is one of the reasons for it's success, so althgough the previous Garmin OS did not have the name, it was from the same heritage. That's not why the phone failed. It failed because of perceptions. It failed because it was built poorly. It failed because no one understood it (both conceptually and operationally) Right now you could put the Android name on a TV Remote and crowds would form to buy it. Android is quite good and getting better at an amazing rate. But it does not relegate other mature, well developed mobile phone operations systems to the garbage bin quite yet.
