Garmin have released a Limited Edition nuvi 250 in Pink. An official release doesn't seem to exist but a quick Google for 'Pink Garmin' pulls up a few shops already selling them. The Pink nuvi 250 features European mapping and, other than the colour, is the same as a standard Grey one.

We have a fair few members of the female persuasion at PGPSW but is the limited edition Pink Nuvi 250 pushing it a bit to get the girls interested in sat-nav just in time for Christmas?

At least a standard grey/black unit blends in with the dashboard and trim of the car, whereas this pink version would tend to stand out a bit.

On a more positive note, you might be able to leave it in your car without worrying so much about it being stolen Laughing

Gucci, Chanel, Roberto Cavalli, Dior, Prada and Garmin, not sure if the last name has the same feel about it.

Now there’s a trick, GJF – design one with the Luis Vuitton or Dior monogram on it and away you go – just ready for all the fashion victims in time for Christmas! Laughing

(I shouldn't laugh, it will probably catch on one day!! Shocked )

Regards,

Bo Peep.

As sure as God made little green apples it'll catch on Very Happy

BTW, Carphone Warehouse were the originators of the pink RAZR phones - they ordered a customised batch from Motorola and shifted 400,000 (including 1 to my daughter) in their first quarter.

Colour aside, the value of co-branding with the current mega fashion brands would just be too tempting for the SatNav brands to pass up. I'd be very surprised if you didn't start witnessing a slew of announcements in the coming months!

You sure we are talking about the case here, not the owner! Confused Laughing

What I don't get is why manufacturers think that all females like pink. Pink phones, pink Ipods, pink headphones, etc. etc. etc. Rolling Eyes

Why can't we have some decent purple technology? Now that I would buy! Very Happy

Maybe I should speak to the Cadburys people...

Regards,

Bo Peep.

i don't think that the assumption is that ALL females like pink stuff, more like they decided if something is pink they will sell more in the female market.

i actually quite like the pink stuff (tho i'm a bloke...)
