Adopting the GSM standard was the best thing I've ever done, when it comes to a cell phone.
I have 3 different phones, and they're all unlocked. Slide in a prepaid sim from any network, anywhere in the world, and you have a phone. No more paying for ESN swaps ever again. And, because it is the de facto world standard, there are no hardware issues. The same can't be said for CDMA.

I look forward to seeing the reviews when this is available. I have Garmin Mobile XT, but I use my Garmin Nuvifone G60 now. One of the huge features for me was spoken street names. I also really like the
YellowPages.com feature.
Am I missing something? Does the Garminfone, or the G60 with AT&T, require a cell signal to use the navigation features? I thought these phones had a "Stand Alone' GPS that would work regardless of having a cell signal or not. Can someone set me straight??
I have a Garmin Nuvifone G60, that is carrier subsidy unlocked, and I use it on T-Mobile. The GPS works completely independent of cell signals. I was in a very rural area this weekend ATVing and the G60 worked just fine and I was miles away from the nearest cell tower signal.

Now all I need, is to find it here in France - and take it on a test ride
Test-riding a GSM, how funny is that ?

Doesn't that mean it'll be shipped out on the same day if order is placed before 2:00 PM?
Yes. But I find it funny that they feel the need to specify the cut-off time. As if people are actually chomping at the bit to get the thing the next day.

It won't be right
Until it's not limited to GSM networks.

is it a real problem?
Until it's not limited to GSM networks.
I don't see the problem. 80% of the global mobile market uses GSM and is used by over 3 billion people in 212 countries.

yeah, it's a problem
When you live in North Iowa, where GSM networks suck.
