Nokia 6710 Navigator review

Nokia’s so keen to shovel Nokia Maps into any half decent phone it fires out these days, that it’s easy to forget that it makes handsets dedicated to mobile mapping too. The Nokia 6710 Navigator is the third in the series, but with so many smartphones now packing satnav as standard, can this focused phone beat down the competition? Read our full Nokia 6710 Navigator review now and we’ll let you know.
Unlike the iPhone, the Nokia 6710 Navigator doesn’t require any pricey extras to get you from A to B in your motor. Crack open the box and you’ll find a charger for the car, as well as a suction pad for slapping the cell on your windscreen. That immediately gives it the jump on Apple’s effort, especially since the TomTom Car Kit for iPhone costs a massive £100, even without the app thrown in.
And the good times certainly don’t end there. The Nokia 6710 Navigator has a button made just for starting up the Maps software. Tap it and you’ll find it loads up quick sharp, with very little lag. It locks onto your position in mere seconds, so you can get navigating without wafting your phone in the air for a signal. Oh how things have changed since the days of the original N95.
