routes to places they have been to. GSmart i350 is bundled with GARMIN Mobile XT

videos with high definition. As more content can now be shown in one single

users can access work data in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint and receive real-time
email from their personal email accounts anywhere. The new Windows LiveTM makes
it simple for users to enjoy messaging, Internet surfing and file sharing.

complicated settings. The GSmart exclusive Incoming Caller Ring tone, in-phone
Answer Machine and Block List ensure that users can manage the calls most
efficiently.
The GSmart i350 will retail for 499 Euro.
