I have been really interested in the AT&T Garmin Nuvifone G60 sine I found about it. I liked the idea of a converged device with a bigger slant towards the GPS than the other way around. However, being a Windows Mobile Connoisseur, I was not really sure what to expect with the Linux Operating System on board the G60. From the time I turned it on, until the time I turned it off, I was very pleasantly surprised. It is very fast, and very user friendly to say the least. I did have some problems with the OS and I did not have a lot of time to give the G60 a thorough once over standing at my Local AT&T Store with my Fuze taking pictures, but here are some photo’s I took and some general observations.

First as you can see in the picture to the right is the Home Screen. The three buttons on the left side are fixed, and then the row of buttons on the right scroll through a series of very well laid out menus. I was very impressed with the layout and thought it scrolled very fast.

Jump after the break for the rest of my pictures and initial thoughts. Remember, I just had 5 minutes at the AT&T Store with the G60, so go easy on my with the questions!

See you after the break!

Google Sync has been out for a little while now, and we have already done a few things on that you can find in our forums (click here) or on our website (click here). But I got an email from our good friend at Blownfuze.org Doug Simmons who has put together his own “How To Google Sync Your WinMo Device”. If any of you have tried, it’s not as easy as you might think: 

Pretty funny, sort of, how it takes a three paragraphed article with nine links including one to another guide with other links just to get push email working with our phone… but it’s been a long journey just to get to this point for those of us without an accommodating IT department.

As you know, we have been cranking out the AT&T Pure (HTC Diamond II) News all weekend and had several of our Team down at the AT&T Stores this morning making their purchases! After today’s Pure frenzy had subsided, AT&T makes the Pure, and the Tilt II official.

AT&T* and HTC Corporation, a global designer of mobile phones, today announced the upcoming availability of the HTC Tilt™ 2 and the HTC PURE™ with Windows^® Mobile 6.5. The HTC PURE delivers a touch screen experience in an alluring, compact form factor, and the HTC Tilt 2 features the convenience of a tilting touch screen combined with the practicality of a slide out full QWERTY keyboard.

As a ton of other people will do, I scoured the press release (Jump after the break for the entire release) and did not find the one thing I was looking for, the official October 18th release date for the Tilt II:

Pricing and Availability
The HTC PURE is available at AT&T retail stores nationwide and online at www.wireless.att.com for $149.99. The HTC Tilt 2, will be available in the following weeks for $299.99. (For the HTC PURE, pay $199.99 and receive $50 mail-in-rebate, for the HTC Tilt 2, pay $349.99 and receive a $50 mail-in-rebate. Two-year agreement on a minimum $69.99 plan required.)

So there ya have it folks, another AT&T press release stating that which we already knew. Stay tuned and we will keep beating the bushes trying to find out the exact release date. Until then, enjoy our coverage of the Pure as we put the device to the test and let you know what we find!

Enjoy the full AT&T Press release after the break.
