What do you get when you pull the phone out of the Garmin Nuvifone? The obvious answer: “just another Garmin Nuvi”. However, it is not quite as forthcoming Garmin Nuvi 295W saves more than some of its smartphones a bit, including a 3-megapixel camera and Wi-Fi connection.

Form Factor Nuvi 295W is almost the same from the Garmin Nuvifone G60, which debuted at AT & T this year. At 4.4 inches by 2.3 inches wide and just over half an inch, the physical dimensions of 295W are identical, and its 480×272 pixels, 3.5-inch resistive touch screen is also the same.

Obviously, the Nuvi 295W features turn-by-turn directions – is, after all, Garmin – from text to speech spoken street names, but not to live traffic data functions.
When we tested Nuvifone G60, we thought it made a good mate, but not as a smartphone. So, perhaps without the phone element, Nuvi 295W will have a chance of success.
