Nokia stumbles back into South Korea with hamstrung 6210

by Darren Murph posted Feb 3rd 2009 @ 4:24AM

Now that South Korea's handset market is open for more vendors to enter, it's no shock to hear that Nokia will be taking its shot. Oddly, the 6210 Navigator -- which is a pretty decent handset in and of itself -- will be scurrying into the nation without its most important feature. Due to a curious Korean regulation that would force Nokia to "embed a server with stored map information," the Finnish giant is instead choosing to launch the handset without a navigation service. Why? Because it'd rather use a map server in Singapore, that's why. Only time will tell if such a handicapped phone will catch eyes, but what we're really wondering is if this situation will happen time and time again with future Nokia handsets. Compromise, anyone?

Hands-on at Nokia's CTIA Wireless 2008 outpost

We meandered through Nokia's booth at CTIA Wireless last week in search of interesting wares, and came back with pretty positive results. Granted, nothing starting with "N" or "E" was announced at the show -- unless you count the N810 WiMAX Edition, which we don't -- but there was still plenty of unreleased kit at the show, including the N78, the 6210 Navigator, and a pair of really sleek CDMA flips. Speaking of the CDMA flips, the 1606 and 3606 headlined Nokia's CTIA intros -- and we've gotta admit, we were surprisingly pleased with the hardware. The designs are beautiful, smooth, clean, slim, and unlike anything we've seen out of Espoo in the past; they're worthy efforts for a company that pays very little mind to the world of CDMA, and a merciful sign that the painful Pantech partnership era appears to be over. Check out the gallery for the full pictorial!

Nokia 6220 classic and 6210 Navigator hands-on

by Sean Cooper posted Feb 15th 2008 @ 1:55PM

Aside from the N96, Nokia also rolled out the 6220 classic and 6210 Navigator sets this week at Mobile World Congress. Both of these sets while fairly vanilla in design pack huge piles of features under the hood, from a 5 megapixel camera on the 6220 to GPS and Nokia Maps 2.0 on the 6210. Both retail in the high $400 range, but if you're looking for a new set to fiddle with, either could fit the bill quite nicely.

The Nokia 6210 Navigator

The Nokia Navigator is back, and this time around, it's got enough 3G to satisfy pretty much everyone. Succeeding the 6110, the 6210 Navigator slider obviously puts an emphasis on providing directions to your destination, and a few nifty features help it excel at the task. First up, it features the just-announced Nokia Maps 2.0 app, which provides pedestrian in addition to the typical auto navigation -- a logical feature, considering this thing spends much of its life in your pants, not mounted to your windshield; secondly, it sports an integrated accelerometer that can keep the map updated at a reasonable rate while you're trolling about on foot ; third, the car mount is standard fare in the retail box, along with a 1GB microSD card. The S60 Third Edition handset also features an FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.2 megapixel camera, 120MB of internal storage, and -- get this -- can be used for navigation without a SIM card. Imagine that! It'll come in no fewer than four versions -- one with EDGE only and three with various flavors of HSDPA for different corners of the world -- in the third quarter for €300 (about $435).
