I remember a friend of mine saying to me - "I am going to buy Sony PSP because I can easily download games from Internet!" This is the way IMHO how things should be looked at. In fact 37xx series are already discontinued...
I remember when OPDA was giving Symbian developer certificates , Nokia phones users needed to install cr acks and to mod symbian os. I've been admin at OPDA forum for more than one year, I know Nokia was behind this distribution and it stopped as soon as Nokia closed Symbian foundation and made the agreement with Microsoft.
Nokia knew they could sell more Symbian phones if somehow hackable.
Same can be for Garmin too, even maps sharing at a push,can be an advantage to sell more units .
