Nokia 6110 Navigator review
The 6110’s super-fast searching and ability to text maps and routes to friends promises to revolutionise mobile navigation — and it couldn’t happen to a nicer phone. In fact, the only reason not to buy this powerful, user-friendly handset is that phones with GPS are improving so quickly it may be superseded within months
Nokia blitzed the market earlier this year with the GPS-powered N95, but the 6110 is its first handset to earn the name ‘Navigator’. Using Route 66 software, it promises ultra-accurate positioning with online-assisted GPS technology, and is available now for a SIM-free price of ￡375, or from free with a contract.
Design
Given that they spend a large portion of every day in your hand or pocket, it’s surprising how many mobile phones simply don’t feel nice to the touch. The 6110 has the opposite problem — its shiny, rounded plastic casing is so tactile you might find yourself rubbing it like a pleasantly fat, high-tech worry stone. And if you start snapping the classy spring-loaded slider up and down, hours can fly by.
Controls are plastic and flush, with a white backlight to help in the dark. The keypad is small and precise, with good action. The four-way pad and two soft keys help you slip through Nokia’s ever-intuitive menus with ease, but there are also a couple of other buttons worth a mention.
