BARCELONA, Spain - The new Nokia 6710 Navigator has just been announced, and this svelte new pocket satnav caller is very clear about its role from the minute it’s plucked from its box. The Nokia 6710 Navigator is a device that is as dedicated to in-car navigation as it is pedestrian guidance - when it launches later this year it will come with the Nokia CR-111 car holder accessory inside the box, which cradles the handset so it can sit smartly in view on your dashboard.
One of the major goals for the Nokia 6710 Navigator was to make it an effortless satnav companion, for driving and walking, offering quick access to real-time navigation via a dedicated navigator key and an instinctive service via Nokia Maps 3.0. Something Markku Suomi, vice president at Nokia, emphasized today.
“The navigation solution provided by the Nokia 6710 Navigator is second to none and provides everything you would expect from a dedicated GPS device with all the benefits of a converged mobile device… We want to make the experience as simple and effective as possible, which means the navigation licenses are pre-installed and ready to use as soon as you turn on the Navigator”
The new Nokia 6710 Navigator has also been designed to ensure it can cope with the heavy demands of GPS, and is able to deliver up to 12.6 hours of GPS pedestrian navigation and 6.6 hours of car navigation.
Location-based service such as Nokia Maps 3.0, and it’s ability to geo-tag photos via it’s 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, are backed up by some serious data sharing credentials - the Nokia 6710 Navigator supports both high speed uplink (HSDPA) and high speed downlink (HSUPA), meaning you can share photos and videos far faster and more efficiently than before.
The Nokia 6710 Navigator will arrive in the third quarter for around 300 Euros, before taxes and subsidies.
The new Nokia 6720 Classic isn’t a device that will be heralded by trumpets, nor will it seek out the spotlight. See, the new Nokia 6720 Classic is an understated yet quietly stylish S60 handset that doesn’t scream for your attention, yet its feisty array of unlikely features mean that this mid-range mobile sensibly commands serious inspection.

Last year Nokia began rapidly raising the bar on mid-range mobiles, with the introduction of intensely well-featured candybar callers such as the 6220 Classic and 6260 Slide. Now, today’s launch of the Nokia 6710 Classic feels like somewhat of a mini milestone in the evolution of mid-range mobiles, as here is a device with perhaps the largest heap of premium features in its league for relatively the smallest pile of cash - when it launches in the second quarter of 2009 it will go on sale for 245 Euros, after taxes and subsidies.
The Nokia 6720 Classic comes loaded with GPS, a compass and Nokia Maps 3.0, featuring integrated A-GPS. Alongside its location friendly navigation skills, sits a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual flash LED, meaning it’s fully geared up for geo-tagging the locations of your photos. Plus, the Nokia 6720 Classic has been tailored to make sharing images and videos as fast and effortless a process as possible via services such as Ovi share, with onboard high-speed upload technology (HSUPA) - likewise it’s equipped with HSDPA for rapid download speeds. It’s also a new addition to the limited line-up non Nseries devices to support N-Gage gaming.
Similarly, where the Nokia 6720 Classic is quietly stamping it mark is in the calling and battery departments. It comes with active noise cancellation, eliminating exterior sounds for much clearer voice calls. Battery-wise it’s upping the stakes offering around 8.5 hours of talk-time (GSM), with over 20 days of standby time, plus around 9 hours of video playback and 27 hours for music (its a music player and FM radio too). But the real coup has to be the fact that it delivers almost 14 hours of GPS pedestrian navigation and just over 7 hours of in-car navigation.
