Nokia 6210 Navigator

Nokia introduced the company's first GPS-enabled mobile device, the Nokia 6210 Navigator, with an integrated compass for pedestrian guidance, at the Mobile World Congress 2008, Barcelona. The new converged device comes with Nokia maps 2.0, including full voice, and visual turn by turn guidance at no extra cost. This new model will reach selected markets in the third quarter of 2008, at an estimated retail price of 300 Euro, excluding taxes and subsidies.

"The personal navigation market is expanding rapidly and mobile phone navigation is its fastest growing area. According to recent market research by Canalys, over 60 per cent of mobile phone users are keen to have navigation access on their phones," says Markku Suomi, the head of Nokia's connect device category. "Mobile phone users around the world will be able to enjoy the benefits of navigation with a device that not only navigates, but also communicates."

The new model is combined with an accelerometer that measures the changes in direction and orientation. The built in compass makes it easy to follow the map even while changing directions. The orientation is maintained even when the device is turned off. With help of the maps 2.0 application, the mobile will show the quickest way to reach the destination. With a high-speed 3.5G connectivity, detailed information about each point of interest, like the phone number or web address, is a click away.

To make car navigation easier, the device has a one-touch navigation that provides full voice guidance. In case of a wrong turn, the Navigator will automatically calculate the new route.
The device has GPS (A-GPS), which assists the GPS receiver to acquire the satellite in seconds.

Nokia 6210 Navigator can also be used without SIM cards. Local maps are pre-loaded on the 1GB memory card of the Nokia 6210 Navigator and map updates are included in the sales price. The users can also purchase multimedia city guides from premium content providers via Nokia Maps application, and freely download additional map areas via the Nokia Map loader. Other features include faster Internet browsing, instant messaging and email with high speed 3.5G HSDPA technology. It also has a 3.2-mega-pixel camera, Mp3 player and stereo FM radio. The Navigator is based on S60 software, giving the users the liberty to use numerous applications apart from the ones already in-built into the device.

Is Nokia N82 the real successor to the Nokia N95?

Nokia Nseries is the right example of digital conversion as they stand different from the rest because of their unparalleled functionalities and capabilities. Nokia being the leading manufacturer of mobile devices has recently released its newest model Nokia N82 which is supposed to be the successor of the most popular Nokia N95 phone. The successor usually includes more improved and enhanced features as compare to the previous model. Similarly Nokia N82 has some latest innovations and also incorporates all the proven positives of rest of Nseries phones.

Nokia N82 packs a lot of technology in a candybar form factor and is labeled as a perfect camera phone for all the photographers out there, which can't be said for Nokia N95. We usually experience some moments that we want to treasure all our lives. Nokia N82 provides you with a camera which is no less than 5.0 mega pixel and includes Carl Zeiss lens with autofocus, 20x digital zoom and a Xenon Flash plus has the ability to capture 30 fps when video recording plus its own built-in camera protection and a secondary camera for video calling.

Another difference that we can see in both the phones is that Nokia N95 was a dual slider where as Nokia N82 is a simple straightforward monoblock design with an uncluttered keypad and large QVGA display. The main disadvantage of this new version is its long and thin keypad which is fiddly to use and prone to errors. The N82 integrates a 2.4" LCD QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) TFT color display with up to 16.7 million colours, against the 2.6" of the N95. This makes it almost simialar to the N73s size.

Nokia N82 is a Symbian S60 smartphone and comes with a web browser, email client, document viewer, advanced multimedia player and it also has a set of personal information management (PIM) applications. With lots of certified line of business and entertaining applications, N82 is also compatible for many business applications as was N95 that can helps users to benefit more from the device.

In the end we can say that Nokia N82 is a complete stunner and tough competitor for all existing camera phones in the market. It is no doubt a successor to Nokia N95 as it provides some enhanced features such as Xenon flash and an improved memory. People all over the world are showing extreme enthusiasm and excitement for the new Nokia N82 but presently only time can tell whether Nokia N82 will grab the same popularity and fame as of Nokia N95 - especially since the N96 is on it's way!
