Garmin has been hitting the industry strongly in terms of GPS sales in diverse sectors, but its bet in the mobile phone industry just got hit hard.

In an earnings release, Garmin revealed that it will delay the release of its Nuvifone from Q4 this year to H1 next year, which can mean Q1 09 or even Q2 09.

“The Nuvifone will not be available in fourth quarter, as previously announced,” the company revealed in its earnings release. “While we had hoped to have carrier launches in the fourth quarter, we have found that meeting some of the carrier-specific requirements will take longer than anticipated.”
