Garmin Nüvifone has problems because of its name

Garmin has recently introduced the Nüviphone, their new handset-GPS hybrid, but now the company is facing a lawsuit over its upcoming 3G wonder-device, the Nüvifone. Apparently, Internet telephone provider Nuvio Corp. feels that Garmin has crossed trademark boundaries related to their service often referred as "Nuvio phone" by customers and calls Garmin for a cease-and-desist on the use of "Nüvifone".
