Nokia's 6210 Navigator: Good for Walkers and Drivers
Nokia's 6210 Navigator will come bundled with Nokia Maps 2.0, the latest version (now in beta) of the company's mapping service,which has a few neat features you don't see in most GPS handsets. The new Walk component creates turn-by-turn directions for pedestrians on the 2.4-inch screen (in addition to the usual driving directions) and works with the phone's integrated compass and an accelerometer to help keep you on course (systems designed for cars generally don't pick up changes in walking quickly enough to realize you've made a wrong turn, for example). Multimedia city guides are available as an extra-cost download. Due in the third quarter at an estimated pre-subsidy price of 300 euros (about $440), this HSDPA phone also has a 3.2-megapixel camera and FM stereo receiver.
