The Garmin Nuviphone G60 will most likely cost around $500, and the Linux-based OS has already been finalized. The Garmin Nuviphone G60 has been delayed yet again to Q3 later this year due to some issues with production capability of both Asustek and Garmin.

In this dog-eat-dog world of smartphones, any delay could prove fatal. It would be interesting to see just how this delay could affect potential sales considering hot new smartphones will be hitting the deck this summer, including the Palm Pre and perhaps even the rumored iPhone refresh. Time and tide wait for no man, and neither do they wait for smartphone releases.
