The G60 is a slightly different beast to the M20 -- it doesn't run on Windows Mobile, instead using Linux. This is most probably the same nuvifone that we saw last year. The G60 is still very much about location services, including a fully-fledged Garmin sat-nav offering and the Ciao! service that helps you see where your friends are. You can also geotag pictures, and it even lets you find out where you are during a call.

Boasting a large touchscreen, 4GB of on-board memory -- which can be expanded using a microSDHC slot -- HSDPA (3.6Mbps) and Wi-Fi, we're looking forward to getting our hands on the G60. Our only concern is that it could be a little chunky, but we'll wait until we've had a play with it to form our final judgement.

Make sure you check Crave every day next week, as we'll be providing more information about these two phones and many more from the Mobile World Congress. Hasta pronto amigos.
