We’re at the midway point of Mobile World Congress and we’ve talked to thousands of people. A highlight earlier in the week was a VIP reception at the Garmin-Asus booth where members of Team Garmin were available to talk to carriers, customers and other Garmin-Asus VIPs.

Now that we’re several days into MWC, we’re starting to notice trends in show attendees’ initial reactions to the nuvifone M10 and A50. One of the most common first reactions is that they’re impressed at how we have customized the M10 and A50’s user interface. Both devices use a Breeze UI, which makes them very intuitive. The icons are large, colorful and finger-friendly.The Call, Search and View Map icons are on both devices’ main screen so that you always have access to the features most important to you. MWC attendees are also impressed that the M10 and A50 have all of the features expected on a smartphone, while taking them one step further by including the same, preloaded features found on a high-end Garmin automotive GPS.

We took the wraps off of two new devices today. The nüvifone M10 and A50 are our latest smartphones for Europe and Asia. They’ll be on display at Mobile World Congress next week at the Garmin-Asus booth (Hall 8, #8B127).

The nüvifone M10 is a full-touch, all-in-one smartphone with a 3.5-inch display powered by the latest version of Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile 6.5.3. It is designed to keep professionals connected with business and personal contacts, email, calendar and IM, and it has preloaded mobile navigation from Garmin. The M10 is expected to be available through carrier and retail channels in Asia and Europe in the first half of 2010.

The nüvifone A50 is the first Android-powered phone to feature preloaded Garmin  navigation. It is a full-touch, 3G-capable smartphone with a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen and 360-degree GPS availability. It gives one-click access to Google’s mobile services, and has on-device sync with Microsoft Exchange with the ability to wirelessly synchronize enterprise email, calendar and contacts. It is expected to be available in Europe in the first half of 2010.
