Nokia took the wraps off several GPS-enabled mobile phones and the Maps 2.0 Beta at last month's Mobile World Congress. One of the handsets was the 6210 Navigator. But unlike the 6220 Classic model, the Navigator comes with an embedded compass for pedestrian navigation. We managed to get hold of an early prototype for a brief hands-on.
Correction:
March 24: Contrary to what was reported earlier, Nokia has confirmed that all four models--6210 Navigator, 6220 Classic, N78, N96--come with onboard GPS chips with A-GPS features. We apologize for the multiple corrections due to wrong information given to us earlier.
March 10: The N78 and the N96 do not have onboard GPS chips. Instead the two devices come with integrated A-GPS receivers that enable the geo-tagging feature on the handsets.
Upside
At 103 x 49 x 14.9mm, the 6210 Navigator is neither the smallest nor the slimmest of handsets, though it's still considerably thinner than the earlier 6110 Navigator which measured 20mm at its thickest point. Our technical set clocked in at 119g, with more heft distributed toward the top.
Design-wise, there are no surprises as the 6210 is a very simple slider-style phone. Our only nitpick is with the tight headroom above the top row of the numeric keys. Otherwise, the controls are large and provide reasonably tactile feedback even on a prototype unit.
Accelerometers in mobile phones are nothing new these days. We've seen it deployed in some of the more recent Nokia and Sony Ericsson handsets, though each company may have a different implementation of the technology. On the 6210, besides measuring changes in direction and orientation, the accelerometer is also used to silence the phone, snooze the alarm (both of these features were first used on the 8800 Artes) and, most importantly, tell north from south.
Although we weren't able to subject the 6120 to a field test, we did manage to calibrate the integrated compass by spinning the handset. Once that was done, a red dot would appear in the middle of the compass needle. We weren't particularly thrilled, but based on our initial impressions, the embedded compass is rather sensitive as it adjusted its orientation whenever we made a turn of the phone.
According to a demo by a Nokia representative, Maps 2.0 also has a nifty feature dubbed "breadcrumbs" which provides bits of information such as the distance traveled, so you can track back the route you took.
The Maps 2.0 software is still in beta, but other than bringing more advanced pedestrian navigation (which probably makes more sense for a phone compared with an in-car device), the app also gives users the option to purchase multimedia city guides with enriched photos, videos and audio streams. The final release is expected to be available in Q2.
Other features on the Navigator include A-GPS support, a 3.2-megapixel camera (a step up from 2 megapixels on the 6110) with built-in LED flash, HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth stereo A2DP, besides being a full S30 3rd Edition device.
The 2.5mm audio jack is at the top edge of the handset so your headset won't be protruding from the sides when the phone is in your pocket. We also noticed that the micro-USB and the microSD expansion card slots have mechanical pull-out "doors". These appear to be a little too stiff and we hope that would change with the commercial unit.
Downside
We like our navigational devices to come with large screens, so we were a tad disappointed that the 6210 comes with only a 2.4-inch QVGA display. That said, this is not so much of a downside but a preference. Other misses include a micro-USB instead of the more common mini-USB and a 2.5mm audio port which means requiring an adapter for your third-party headset. Though minor points, these could be potential deal-breakers.
Outlook
It's easy to pass off the embedded compass as a novelty, but if we go one step further, the implementation of such a feature is actually not a far-fetched idea. We don't see GPS-enabled mobile phones replacing dedicated in-car navigational units anytime soon, so it makes sense that the navigational features are tailored to non-vehicular tracking. That's where the 6210 Navigator makes a decent proposition. It'll be interesting to see how all this maps out (pun intended) when the device rolls out with Maps 2.0 in Q3.
