AT&T announced today that the long awaited Garmin Nüvifone G60 would be coming to the carrier on October 4th. The touchscreen phone will be equipped with a full-fledged Garmin GPS interface and receiver. The handset will come preloaded with maps and points of interest for North America.
It’s not all good news, though. AT&T is asking $299 after a $100 mail in rebate, and 2 year service agreement. Optional Nüvifone Premium service will show the user traffic updates, white pages, weather, movies, local events, and fuel prices. However, it will run you an extra $5.99 per month after an initial 30 day trial.
The G60 is basically a high end Garmin GPS, with phone functionality thrown in. It is said to have a full HTML browser with data access through both HSDPA and WiFi. A 3.5 inch touchscreen and 3 megapixel autofocus camera round out the specs. Just for fun, all pics taken with the camera will automatically be geotagged. Given the price, are you considering dropping some cash on one?

Darn, doesn't seem like it comes with "lane assist" feature. For the price I expected that feature to be standard which is great for interstate commute but thats just me.
