Nokia 6210 Navigator got a short review from CNet yesterday which also mentions the new Nokia Maps 2.0 service. 6210 Navigator is the new release from Nokia that is designed for pedestrian navigation. With the help of a digital compass (embedded accelerometer) it points in the direction you’re headed and shows the map in correction orientation.
This staff writer doesn’t mind sharing useless information such as how she has lived in New York (Manhattan to be exact) while browsing in Barcelona and can’t even get the model number right (it is 6210, not 6120). So I wouldn’t say it is the most trustworthy review. But if you are looking forward to spending some cash on this phone it is still worth a look at:
The 6210! Navigator uses GPS and assisted GPS tracking to pinpoint the location of the phone. We were navigating through El Born in Barcelona to the Picasso Museum. The accuracy of the navigation was very impressive, especially as we walked through narrow streets among tall buildings.
But it’s not just the navigation that makes Maps 2.0 and the 6210! Navigator a perfect device for travelers, it also comes with lots of useful information. On each city map, Nokia has indicated points of interest, such as tourist sites and restaurants. You can click on the mapped icons to set your destination or get more information, such as a phone number or address.
Oh another mistake by the writer:
That said, Nokia is trying to make it a compelling sell. For example, the company is offering the navigation service on the 6220 for free.
No, it is free on this one; the 6210 Navigator, you have to pay for navigation on the 6220.

It will be better to review this product than criticize colleagues. We learn nothing about this navigation application in your paper.

You are also right Ben. We just wanted to show people that this small review exists but they should take it with a grain of salt.
We would love to review this if given the chance.

CNet reviews Nokia 6210 Navigator GPS phone…
I don’t have a car, so driving navigation features are useless to me. I found that the Mio H610, even though it’s called the DigiWalker, was not great as a pedestrian navigator – lacking a compass, I followed its guidance…
