Portable navigation device maker Garmin International has announced its entrance into the mobile phone market with the Nuvifone touchscreen device. The Nuvifone is a 3.5G mobile phone, featuring a 3.5-inch touch screen, web browser and personal GPS navigator similar to Garmin’s Nuvi product line. The handset also provides Google local search, and access to Garmin Online, an online service offering constantly-updating information.
