Nokia 6210 Navigator - Helping You Find Your Way…
Don’t be fooled into thinking this review is about an old, old Nokia from back in the year 2000.
Yes, the 6210 was an incredibly popular phone, especially with the business user.
However, Nokia (who are not averse to recycling model numbers) have now launched the 6210 Navigator. A handset far removed from the 6210. The 6210 Navigator is a sliding handset, with full colour screen and built in GPS.
Available in glossy red or black the handset sits comfortably in your hand and the design and quality of finish are eye catching.
Using Nokia Maps application the users receives 6 months free GPS navigation, so unlike stand-alone sat nav systems you have to face an ongoing cost. However, the upside is convenience, and downloading maps in the future will be free so no upgrading charge.
The overhead maps are decent enough, and appear well on the large screen. There is a handy compass which works particularly well in pedestrian mode.
The camera is a decent 3.2MP with LED flash and VGA resolution video capture.
There is built in FM radio and other multi media functions, thanks to the fact it is another Nokia which uses Symbian operating system Series 60.
If you like surfing the net or using your handset to email you will not be disappointed as the phone supports HSDPA speeds up to 3.6Mbps. As an S60 phone you can push email, run business applications and add excellent games.
All in all the new 6210 Navigator is more than a GPS phone. It has a wealth of features and is sure to prove a popular purchase in the coming months.
One to consider!
Nokia N85 Review
The recent hype surrounding Nokia seems to be focused on the N96.
However, the N85 is a handset, which should not be overlooked if you are considering purchasing a quality mobile phone.
The N85 comes with 8GB of storage but it is the handset itself which is sure to have people excited. It really is a striking phone, with a dazzling OLED display that produces vivid colours and a contrast ratio not even seen in LCD televisions.
Like the Nokia N79 it is packed full of features, such as a 5MP camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA and N-Gage support.
It records VGA resolution video and has S60 Feature Pack 2, which provides slick menu transactions and an easy user experience.
This handset really should be considered before you rush out to buy the much talked about N96. You will not be disappointed!
Nokia Sports Tracker – Ideal for Fitness Fans
If you are a keen fitness fan and enjoy tracking your progress then Nokia have the perfect application for you.
Compatible with GPS enabled handsets running on the Series 60 platform Nokia Sports Tracker features different workout settings, such as running, cycling and skiing. Each sport has different features to suit that particular activity.
The handset then tracks your progress via GPS. This means that your friends and family could even track your progress in real time via the website!
More importantly, the application calculates a series of statistics, such as time versus speed. You can then upload your data to the Nokia Sports tracker website and monitor your progress and improvements. You can even share your progress with other sports enthusiasts.
Helpfully, the application will run in the background while you operate any other functions, i.e. making calls, texts etc meaning your workout session is tracked in its entirety.
Motorola A810 Review
Motorola had originally decided that the A810 was a handset only to be sold in China.
However, over 8 million units sold so far seems to have prompted a change in this decision and the A810 is now on sale in the UK, just in time for Christmas.
Motorola are billing their A810 as a “Social Networking Phone”.
It is an entry level PDA which uses Motorola’s innovative handwriting technology.
It has a built in MP3 player, FM radio and 3.5mm headphone jack.
However, beware of the measly 2MP camera and memory expansion, which is restricted to 2GB.
