first one is really cheesy
second is too, just its better than the first for sure.
the first one actually looks like it has been made with windows movie maker.
The only thing worse than a poor joke, is recycling someone else's poor joke.
Don't worry; we all get low ranked comments... sometimes...
are you saying im trying to copy someones joke? I'm just saying my thoughts. I don't know why I'm low ranked for that.
"Suzy knows how to shop"
Holy Sexism Batman!
Its meant to market to women who traditionally know how to shop.
Holy PC batman!
Do you think the 80s feel of these videos is a deliberate or what? Trying to recall better times, better economy?
sorry, I meant is a deliberate attempt to recall better times.
yeah garmin nuvifone :)
I will be selling my iPhone when this is released.
Well, at that time iPhone has come in a new and improved model...we'll see if you realy will buy the Nuvi over the iPhone....or actually we won't :(
I'd think that one over. Go try out the horribly unresponsive touchscreen on the Garmin nuvi 760 or similar. You've got to hit the thing with a hammer to get anything out of it. If the phone has the same issues, I wouldn't go near it. It's insanely frustrating to type on, as you have to look up after each keystroke to see if it registered or not(and more often than not, it didn't).
Why not wait to here the price and see what iPhone's in the market is by then and decide?
16GB iPhone came out yesterday, this phone is due out September or October - so it's quite probable the 32GB GPS HSDPA iPhone will be out by then. Oh and judging by those views you've still yet to see this phone in action. All is it right now is a bunch a promises with no actual user interface.
I like the slogan at the end of the 3rd video.
"Coming soon. An iPhone killer"
I guess the big question if it can play nice with an Exchange server for email, calander and contacts. If it can, I may be sold. Bad part is I just bought a new nuvi 660.
I'm sorry, but Nuvi 360's touchscreen interface is horrendous: They did a far better job in responsiveness and level of sophistication in their ique lines (which I love, by the way), which is ironic, considering that nuvi is a newer device. Problem with the nuvi's UI is that they "simplified" the display by showing *less* information. They took out many of the advanced functions but did not do anything to make the menu navigation any easier. The virtual keyboard is in alphabetical order for some odd reason, and the search function is so slow that it is nearly useless. It's too bad because I like the form factor of the device...I'm betting that they'll botch the UI in nuvifone as well...
I disagree. I own the Garmin 360 and have never had any issue whatsoever with the touch screen.
I'm rather see you fix the typo in the first line of this article.
I'd rather see you fix the typo in your comment before calling other people out on their typos.
zeebleoop = fail
Way to miss the obvious joke.
Woosh...right over your head.
Moviephone?
These are great. Seriously. I've had one for about eight months now and if you get a chance you should really...oh...wait...oh, never mind.
Sorry, for some reason Engadget posted my comment to the wrong reply. It was intended to be a reply to Jimbo above.
Very promising phone. Very cheesy videos.
I wouldn't mind calling up Susie and having her for lunch, but they can keep the Nuvifone. I think the concept is nice for sure, but it's just a mockup, so it's capabilities don't mean very much at this point.
I like the way they aren't confident enough to demonstrate the UI, must be really really really good :P
Put too much in and the Nuvi exploded. Why did they walk like soiled their pants in the 1st video? O_o
