Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M10 is now official, WinMo 6.5.3 onboard

Today Garmin-Asus quietly announced their next smartphone - the Nuvifone M10. The most interesting thing about the M10 is the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 (codename Maldives) packed inside, which makes it the first device with the latest Microsoft mobile OS.

The Nuvifone M10 will sport a 3.5" WVGA TFT touchscreen, 600MHz processor (manufacturer is still unknown), 512 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM, 4 GB internal storage, a 5 megapixel camera, 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and microSD card slot. It will come with the latest Windows Mobile 6.5.3. We"ve already had a few peaks of it in our GSMArena Team blog. It has yet to be officially announced by Microsoft though.

As its older siblings from the Nuvifone family G60 and M20, the M10 will come with full navigation services from Garmin, which will turn your phone into a complete SatNav solution.

Garmin-Asus Nuvifone M10 is already available for pre-order in Taiwan and costs about 310 euro (435 US dollars). The handset will most probably premiere at the MWC 2010 in February, along with the duo"s first Android device.
