Garminfone Sales Sluggish?

I really would love to feign surprise here but let’s just be honest and say this was almost expected.  According to Morgan Keegan analyst Yair Reiner, only around 20,000 Garminfones have made it into the hands of customers.  Offering little more than a full-on navigation platform, the device itself runs an outdated Android version, at 1.6, combined with its custom tailored menu which definitely makes it a niche device.  That being said, these numbers haven’t been verified by T-Mobile itself, though we can’t imagine they are far off.  With just one commercial devoted to the device, it seems as though its fate was already sealed before actually being offered.  Coupled with already abysmal sales with their AT&T offering, will Garmin pull out of the phone arena now?
