Casio Commando not as tuff as they claim
The new Android phone by Casio is a military spec smartphone that is shock resistant and water resistant. That is great feature for construction workers and outdoors men but lets get one thing straight the phone is not water proof and the phone is not indestructible the phone is a lot more rugged than all the other Android phones on Verizon Wireless. The picture above is a Commando with a crack screen that was supposedly dropped from a 4 foot high fall.
On the Casio’s website they claim during testing the phone was dropped from 4 feet 26 times during testing. I guess this phone had a unlucky 27th fall.

Nav4All Shut Down
Letter to 27,625,631 Nav4All navigation customers
Dear Customers,
It is with the deepest regret that we hereby notify you that the
global navigation of Nav4All and the Tracking & Tracing will go
offline in 3 days. The reason for the same is that the data licence
agreement with Navteq (a 100% Nokia subsidiary) was not extended, in
a totally unexpected manner. It is not possible to implement data
from another supplier in our Nav4All systems within the short term.
The Nav4All navigation system was developed for Navteq data. Nav4All
has therefore been constrained to stop.
We greatly regret the fact that we have to suspend the operation of
our service. With your help, we have developed Nav4All into a global
product with 27.5 million users in 56 languages, in 5 years. This has
made Nav4All the largest navigation supplier. This large number of
users also has to do with the fact that Nav4All works on hundreds of
different mobile telephones of many makes such as Blackberry, Sony
Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola, Android, HTC, Nokia, LG, Iphone, Ipod
etc.
After 5 years of testing and market development, we witnessed rapid -
in fact, exponential – growth during the last two years. That growth
was reported in the licence reports to Navteq. In mid-December 2009,
the global coverage was extended to include the Philippines, Morocco
and Kenya.
Please contact the Nav4All support desk in case you have any
questions: www.nav4all.com/support. If there is any further
information from Nav4All concerning the subject of this letter, the
same will be published on our website: www.nav4all.com. For reasons
of privacy, Nav4All does not have the email addresses of all its
customers, and we therefore request you to forward this email to the
maximum extent possible, in order to ensure that everyone is
informed.
Kind Regards,
Hennie J.M. Groot Koerkamp (CEO)

New Garmin Nuvifone G60 for AT&T
The Garmin Smartphone is a GPS first then a phone. If you would like to buy this cell phone on at&t the best deal online is below $99 with new service from at&t.
All AT&T Smart phones must pay for data
Starting September 6th AT&T will not sell any of their Smart Phones without a data package of at least $30. The only cell phone that AT&T had before that had to have the data package was the Apple iPhone. The other smart phones like the Blackberry or the Samsung Jack could of been purchased without the data package but you would not qualify for the mail-in rebates. That was not bad for someone who wanted an organizer and a full keyboard cell phone to text message with. The data is a great revenue stream for the wireless industry and they do not want to discount the smart phones unless the customer subscribes to a data package.
AT&T says you must pay for Data
