Nokia 6210 Navigator Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: A GPS-equipped phone that offers a large display
for browsing, with built-in Nokia Maps and a 6 month navigation license
for driving and pedestrian usage. The 6210 is a smartphone that also
includes 3G HSDPA, video calling, a 3.2 megapixel camera, a music player
and FM radio, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a microSD memory card
slot that can take cards up to 8GB. On the negative side, the build
quality is poor, and battery life is challenged too.
Review: October 2008.
The Nokia 6210 Navigator is an upgraded version of the Nokia
6110 Navigator. It's a slide phone that majors in GPS navigation, but is
a fully equipped smartphone with a good range of other features too. There are
a number of improvements in the 6210 compared with the 6110. 6 months integrated
GPS navigation licence is included, and a digital compass has been added for
pedestrian use. The display size has been increased from 2.2" to 2.4",
the camera has been uprated from 2 megapixels to 3.2 megapixels, and the memory
has been increased from 40 Mbytes to 120 Mbytes.
Rather depressingly though, the body has been modelled on the cheap and plasticky
Nokia 6220 Classic. The keys stick and
squeak, the slide wobbles, and the whole thing feels like its ready to explode
if dropped onto a hard surface. Why, Nokia, why? This is definitely a backwards
move. The only improvement in the body design is that the 6210 is quite a bit
thinner than the chunky old 6110, and weighs a little less too.
The GPS application is accessed by pressing the dedicated Navigator key, and
finding a location is simple and straightforward. In another backward move though,
Nokia have removed the Route 66 software that came pre-installed on the 6110,
so now the only option for navigating is Nokia Maps. The digital compass is
a welcome addition though. The increased display size is definitely an improvement,
making the maps much easier to read. Despite the removal of the Route 66 software,
the 6210 works very well indeed in its primary role of satellite navigation.
It can't beat a dedicated satnav system, but it's perhaps the best of the current
generation of GPS enabled mobile phones.
We've mentioned the 3.2 megapixel digital camera already, and we'll also mention
now that the 6210 is fully equipped with the usual range of modern phone gadgets.
These include a digital music player, that's capable of playing back MP3, AAC
and WMA formats. There's also an FM radio built in. The phone supports push
email, with a document viewer. 3G video calling is supported, and the phone
supports 3.5G with HSDPA for download speeds up to 3.6 Mbps.
In terms of connectivity, the 6210 has Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0, as well a
2.5mm AV jack. We'd have preferred to see a standard 3.5mm jack instead. The
phone's memory is excellent, with 120 Mbytes of memory built in, and support
for microSD cards up to 8GB. Battery life could be better, and if you're using
the GPS and 3G, you'll find that you have to charge it up quite regularly.
In our opinion, Nokia have fumbled the upgrade of the 6110. They've made some
definite improvements, but in other ways they've made the phone worse. And in
the year that has passed since the launch of the 6110, GPS-enabled phones have
become much more common. Nokia needed to move forward, but instead they drifted
sideways.
Features of the Nokia 6210 Navigator include:
- Series 60 Symbian SmartPhone
- 3.2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and flash
- Secondary video camera for video calling (CIF resolution)
- Photo and video editors
- Display: 16 million colours, 240 x 320 pixels (2.4 inches)
- Music player (MP3, MP4, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA formats)
- FM stereo radio
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, Instant messaging, Audio Messaging, push email with
document attachment viewer
- Java applications
- PDF reader
- Nokia Maps 2.0
- Internet: GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA up to 3.6Mbps, OSS web browser, Flash player
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, 2.5 mm AV connector
- Memory: 120 Mbytes plus microSD card (expandable to 8 Gbytes)
- Quadband (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) plus 3.5G (WCDMA 900/2100 HSDPA)
- Size: 103 x 49 x 15 mm
- Weight: 117g

Very Poor Phone with poor battery life and limited, if not almost porprietary
bluetooth software. Unlike earlier phones this is a piece of garbage
that Nokia don't want to know about. Having a 2009 Ford and also a Toyota
2010 this phoine will not connect to either... taking it to the car
dealers they can tell you what phone it is before you take it out of
your pocket. So if connectivity is important to you, don't touch this
rubbish.

Had the 6110 first, a solid well built phone with excellent features
and superb sound quality. I navigated twice round Europe with it mounted
on the handlebar of my motor cycle bluetoothed to my helmet intercom
system. It even survived a serious bouncing up the road after the bike
and I tangled with a drystane dyke, and it continues to work well today.
The upgrade at 18 months was the 6210, a lighter weight model with updated
features and Ovimaps instead of Route 66. Didn't like it at all at first
but have to say that over time it has proved a reliable and very functional
tool. I rely on the texting, maps, internet, email, music and calendar
and sync it with MS Outlook regularly to keep my appointments. It never
fails to impress even alongside the new touch screen models. Build quality
is not so good, keys are falling to bits at 12 months old. Ovi suite
is miles better than its predecessor and the phone syncs and upgrades
seamlessly. All user features are the usual idiot proof nokia simplicity.
If it were not for the keypad problem this would be a five star phone.

texting difficult because the top row of keys are half way under the
top part of the body. The maps function is rubbish, I much preferred
the Route 66 system and the ease of planning a route.The layout of the

We have four of these phones on a business account and they are, without
doubt, the worst phone we have ever had. On three the keys have started
to break, one when the phone was a matter of days old. Two have the
metal strip around the camera peeling away and one hangs and has to
be rebooted. As you can see, some have multiple faults. Battery life
on them is ok, although when it starts to get shorter it gets worse
quickly. A phone to avoid in my experience. As for the reviewer that
says "go buy one", I would say look at the reviews and "don't even take
one for free"

Outstanding performance by Nokia 6210 Navigator. The only thing is that,
after a frequent call the battery level goes low. It may varies due
to high resolution also. The performance and durability of the mobile
lasts long according the nature of handling. Rough handling of the mobile
gives worst performance. Any way, my 6210 has completed one and a half
year and still its giving good output. "Superb". The company had stopped
its production why?.

A colleague and I each recently acquired a 6210. We have the same problems:
batteries that last 24 hours at most, not enough room to properly use
the 1,2,3 buttons, predictive text that spells 'yot' for 'you'. Three
days ago I tried to send a photo by text which failed. Ever since I
have had a recurring message advising me of the failure. Despite 'okaying'
the message, turning the phone on and off and removing the battery I
still can't stop the message flashing up whenever I want to use it.
Avoid!

Haven't used the 6110. but it is fair to say that the 6210 has navigated
me around the UK day after day without any hitches other than you would
find in a normal Sat Nav. ie, The shortest route is through a field.
Speaker volume is brilliant no real need to use Bluetooth, and receiption

is a classy phone and does not suffer from the dreaded Touch Screen

longer to find a position, can't pan around the map while using GPS,
takes longer to locate an address, won't stay zoomed in if you need

I have been using NOKIA phones for past 10 years and I have to admit
this was the worst out of all. 6210 overall a great phone, I wish only
if it wasn’t equipped with cheap plastic and tools it would have
still left a good impression on me after using the phone over 11months
I continuously find new troubles almost every month.. Keypad is very
small makes it hard to sms, very slow GPS, switches off by itself, gets
frozen very often, keypad actually started to crack after 11 months.
Started with number 1 and 7 and after the crack a piece fell off. Now
I can see a crack near number 9 and 6 which looks like it also will
fall soon. NOKIA customer care doesn’t care about its customers.
I have been in store twice and both times received back customer service.
I also noticed that all worker carry different information to their
customers. They do not stick to one and correct information. They dont
want to cover this under warranty as they said I would have damaged
it. I just don’t understand how heavy human’s fingers have
to be to damage plastic keypad. Even if it fells it wont feell on keypad
as the top part of NOKIA will cover it. I guess NOKIA is using cheaper
parts as they go further, as this way helps them to make more money
on their sales and repairs. I am considering actually changing NOKIA
to something else and something stronger. Very cheap phones and bad
customer service.

Ewan and Charlie may have had Nokia 6210 stickers plastered all over
the bikes but if they tried to find the Long Way Round with this phone
they'd still be stuck in south London. It takes an age to get a GPS
lock and when it does the battery life is appallingly bad. You'll be
lucky to get an hour satnav use out of it and even on standby it'll
be bleeping annoyingly after just 3 days. Which is a shame because otherwise
it's a nice, attractive looking phone with easy to use features and
a good display and camera.

This must be one of the worst phones I have had. After about six months
it went back to the Nokia repair centre and returned with pretty much
the same problems. The microphone is rubbish and the software is unbelievably
bad. Have been trying to update it but keep getting installation errors.
Nokia's solution is to flash the lot. Useful (not) as the phone won't
back up due to the corrupt file... besides there is no guarantee it
will work. I experienced for the first time what it is like to deal
with Nokia when you have a problem and I am not at all happy and as
far as the 6210 is concerned this is a dud that shouldn't have been
released. I can't wait for my contract to expire to get something else,
but I will now steer clear of Nokia.

I returned my fourth faulty sony ericsson handset to the vodafone shop
today (since August!) and was given a choice of just two other handsets
in the same price bracket. I opted for the nokia 6210 as I've had several
nokias in the past and have been happy with them. But I am so disappointed
with this one. It looks cheap and plasticky, its difficult to text as
there is not enough room on the 1 2 and 3 keys for your thumb (it feels
like the open slider does not slide high enough), there are no little
extras like smily faces, last recipient when texting, every time you
send a text you have to go back into the full contact list and search.
It's the ugliest most un-user friendly handset I've ever had and looks
and works like something from the dark ages. Also I've tried to access
facebook and download tones on "live" but gave up because it took so
long. I'm bitterly disappointed that I'm now stuck with this handset
having taken out a two year contract on the sleeky shiny easy -to-use
sony ericsson and looking at the reviews below of the problems people
are having with this phone, beginning to wish I'd asked for a replacement

To be honest it's very hard to argue with the main review given in this
site. The build of the phone is undeniably poor. Slide feels very loose
when fully opened and prone to wobble, and there is a definite cheapness
in the plastic feel on the keys and casing. However, it cant be denied
that the phone packs plenty of features into it's relatively small build.
Camera and Music player better than average, but they're not what this
phone is about. It's all about Navigation and the phone does that very
well. Not convinced it's any better than the 6110 though. Must try harder

appears to be very good: nothing cheap feeling about the phone. The
keys and D pad move freely without squeaking and is easier to use than
most phones I've had. The battery life is excellent and doesn't drain
down as some of the other Nolia models. The camera takes good photos

the amount of processing it has been used for. These phones are nearer
to laptops than phones so users need to be aware that heavy useage of
applications will run the battery down. I for one, are very happy with
my phone...but then I bought it cheap from ebay...hehehehe

I've just bought one of these phones from Ebay. I did it in haste without
reading any reviews. After completing the purchase...I happened across
this site and to put it mildly...was gutted at the reviews for the phone.
One issue was the battery life. I received this phone this morning and
started to charged it. I then spent the rest of the day fiddling with
the camera and the music and I kept looking at the battery charge bar
and thinking...hang on....there's still loads of battery left. What's
going on here? I then connected the phone via the laptop, installed
the nokia software from the CD provided and then updated the firmware.
The firware update is 124Mb. It took about 40 minutes to do. At the
end of the process...which went very smoothly...I looked at the battery
again. No problems. I am miffed about the battery complaints I am reading
here.

I really like the features on this phone, but it does feel quite cheaply
made and the slider is a bit wobbly.The battery only lasts a day so
turned off 3G and now it lasts for 3 days and thats just using it for
texts and calls, so yes the battery life is pretty awful!! Theres no
screensavers on my phone only the voda icon!! Can anyone tell me where
I can find the screensavers on the phone because I cant find any! I
do like the phone but its not as good as my old 6300,but will be keeping
it as its on 18 month contract.

"Navigation is spot on, JR Ewing u must be a moron to be taken on a
54 mile detour, come on get real!" Charming I'm sure. However, if you
actually read the review you will actually see that I didn't go on said
detour. This was what the phone suggested. Oddly enough I know the quickets
way to and from work ! However, your insults aside they do not distract
from the point of the review. This is a terribly designed and dreadfully
programmed handset. Enough to put you off Nokia for life.

I love this phone! Got it as a backup for my iPhone, but I'm still using
my 6210 Navigator and the iPhone is spending time in the cupboard. :)
The Symbian OS is fast & very user-friendly, it's ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
in direct sunlight (I'm using the default Navigator theme), has a very
good display and the battery life is good. If I'm gonna use it for navigation
in my car, I'll get a car charger. It's that simple. Very happy with
my 6210 Navigator.

The phone is good in every aspect, ok so the slide is a bit wobbly,
but so is the N95's and people rave about it. Navigation is spot on,
JR Ewing u must be a moron to be taken on a 54 mile detour, come on
get real! My phone is great and I love it, from the display to the camera.
Battery life could be better but I can live with it. All in all a good
phone and with all the symbian software available never a dull moment.
Get it and get home from where ever u are wihtout any problems.

Must admit I hate the loose feel of the phone when opened. This is my
first navigator so I cannot comment on the previous one. It is quite
accurate and easy to use and the sport tracker software is good. Display
is brilliant, coming from an HTC P3400 with only 65k screen. Connectivity
is very good and battery life average. All in all a decent phone with
a rather loose slider.

3 days is enough. Terible battery life span. I didnt even know 6 months

which is free(the best thing happen,finally). 6 hours on the field and
the battery is dead!! Imagining charging in a car, keeping another battery
which is nonsense at this tech era.

Oh I would so loved to have given this phone 5 out of 5. However, having
now gone through 4 of them in a 2 week period it's just not going to
happen. The old 6110 Navigator remains (in my opinion) one of the finest
handsets Nokia produced, so it was with much excitement I unwrapped
my new 6210. My happiness was quickly shattered by it's cheap flimsy
construction. Horribly sticky, clicky keypad that's just a magnet for
fingerprints. A terribly loose feel whenever the slide is up. It really
does shake around like it's going to fall apart. Switching it on did
nothing to cheer me up as it continually froze on me. Sadly these same
issues have occurred on all 4 of the handsets I have went through, so
I dont see the point in going for a fifth. Weirdly the Navigation actually
works really well. However, nothing else really does. Not entirely sure
how this handset managed to sneak past quality control. With a heavy
heart, I would have to urge you to avoid.

I returned my 6210 navigator to vodafone after one day. It has lots
of great features but feels very cheaply made (as does the 6220 classic
from the reviews I've read). The slide is ok but the navigation and
soft keys have a horrible 'click' when you press them and the vibrate
alert is awful. Also, the slide doesn't quite clear the top row of keys
enough so they can be tricky to use. A shame, as features wise it's
hard to fault.

On contract via Vodaphone UK. So far I am pretty disappointed with my
6210 Navigator. Looks great, nice camera and fine as a phone/text message
machine. BUT battery life isn’t good despite following the first
charge instructions. Note I’ve only tried charging with “mains”
electricity and have so far just left the thing plugged in all night
once the battery is exhausted. Mapping very disappointing (although
I’ll admit to not having gone back to the shop to complain and/or
get a demo). This could be because I'm used to using TomTom as a sat
nav and the Nokia system just isn't intuitive enough for an old luddite
like me. So I’ll cancel the internet access deal I have and just
use it as a phone/camera (now there’s a novel idea !) Mike

Well I "upgraded" to this from my trusted 6110 Navigator - the biggest
mistake of my phone owning life ! Within one week went through 3 chronically
built handsets - creaky and uneven keypads, one very dodgy slide and
all 3 prone to cutting out at completely random intervals. Difficult
to know where to start with my loathing of this phone... However, here
goes. 1) Sat Nav is terrible and not as good as the original 6110. For
example a 12 mile journey for me from my work to my home came up (Despite
trying all settings) as sening me on a 54 mile detour !! Absolutely
crazy. Remember too that voice navigation is only free for the 1st 6
months. A total con. Camera is OK at best and has no lens cover on the
back (unlike the old phone) so loses marks for that. I could go on all
day but wont bother. Suffice to say my contract was ripped up and I'm
back using my beloved 6110 Navigator which in almost every way is a
superior phone to this.
