It is said that the phones will get Froyo upgrade, but its not confirmed yet. This is ASUS's first ever Android phone. More to come soon. You can run MFM maps with a separate application if you wish but since you have Garmin, I don't see a point of having other GPS application. What can be better than Garmin after all

I would like to see 2.2 on this phone very soon. Request:- Can those fortunate users of this new phone post up some instructional videos of it. Looking forward to checking it out

Yep, you can get the cradle from pretty much any shops who are selling the Garmin-Asus A10  I'll be posting some unboxing images today..Includes the cradle too..The cradle is way more useful than the Nexus One's car dock..Once you remove your A10 from the cradle, it remembers your car location in the phone (the dock will always be in the car anyway remember?)  Really a smart feature..

Well, the touch is indeed not as sensitive as the high-end Androids (Nexus One, Galaxy S, Desire, etc), but this is the mid-range Android and I find it pretty comfortable to use..Takes a little practise its all that it needs

' so far so good... but i need to learn more about android tho... very blur2...

Wah..lanujang,u got it finally eh?  trust me,the speaker is way louder than N1's speaker  indeed, its actually garmin-asus nuvifone a10  it means "navigational phone". How do you find it? Dont worry, we can guide you around android. Unboxing and rooting guides coming up too
