Hands-on With Garmin-Asus A10, An Android Phone

The world seems like going Android, or so it seems looking at the recent phones that arrive at my review desk (this time from omy.sg).   Android platform does have its charm.  It is fast evolving.   Quite a number of manufacturers are designing phones based on Android platform.  The beauty of it is that Android phones are not homogeneous across different manufacturers.   Each offers a set of unique functionality.   Yet, when you switch from one Android phone to another, there is still this strong sense of familiarity.  With Google Sync, all your contacts and calendar appointments can be easily transfer from one Android phone to another – even if they are of the different brands.

I am aware of the Asus brand, because I assemble my computers and have used their PC components.   However, Garmin-Asus is new to me, as a wireless phone brand.  In this article, I am going to review on the A10 model.   A10 is elegantly designed, beautiful inside out.   It is certainly one phone I would love to be seen with (and I don’t say this often).   The strength of the A10 is the professional navigation system, both for vehicle and for pedestrian.  I have used the navigation services from various wireless phones while driving.   What A10 offers, as you will see later, is a world apart.  Its accuracy down to the speed limit of each section of the road, the listing of upcoming highway exits, and the reliable and responsive GPS system – I would have expected these functions from a profession GPS device, but not a phone.  To read more, click onto the link below.
