Electronista: Garmin Asia Pacific marketing director Tony An revealed that the company’s nuvifone will just be the first device in a series of phones.

Where the original touchscreen, GPS-focused phone is now said to be due in the spring, An adds that the firm will develop multiple phones based on Google’s Android platform to ship sometime in the second half of 2009.

Details of the phones themselves are unavailable but should likely focus heavily on GPS navigation and will be helped by the built-in presence of Google Maps.

The hardware won’t be manufactured by Garmin by itself but will instead contracted out, according to Garmin, though which firms will build the phones isn’t named.
