Garmin nuvifone G60 officially coming to AT&T: October 4th for $299

Can you believe it? No, seriously -- can you believe it? Nearly two full years after its surprise introduction to the world, the nüvifone G60 is finally coming to US shores. In an official press release outed today, the Garmin nüvifone G60 has been blessed with an October 4th launch date on AT&T. Oddly enough, nary a mention of "ASUS" or "Garmin-Asus" is found, but regardless of semantics, you can bet that itll be looking for buyers this Sunday. The internal GPS chip and 3 megapixel, auto-focusing camera will enable users to geotag photos and emails and navigate using the same heralded user interface that folks rely on today with the companys standalone PNDs. Youve already pounded the specifications into your head by now, but the last figures youll need to know are these: itll run $299 on a two-year agreement after a $100 mail-in rebate, and if youre hoping to access Premium Connected Services -- which includes traffic updates, white pages, weather, movie, local events and fuel price content -- youll be forking out $5.99 per month after the 30-day trial expires. So, after all of this, whos in?
