Nokia 6110 Press Release

At the annual 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia introduced the new Nokia 6110 Navigator, a navigation-enabled mobile phone designed for the mass market. The Nokia 6110 Navigator brings together GPS (Global Positioning System) and AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) functionality with always-on mobile connectivity in a feature-rich, compact device. The Nokia 6110 Navigator is expected to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2007 with an estimated retail price of ?450 before subsidies or taxes.

The Nokia 6110 Navigator features full personal navigation experience with integrated maps, routing and navigation available with the click of the phone's one-touch Navigator key. With the Nokia 6110 Navigator, consumers can quickly and easily view their current location on the map, search for destinations, find specific routes, or locate services such as restaurants, hotels or shops that are nearby. Featuring full turn-by-turn 3D navigation, the Nokia 6110 Navigator suggests the best route to follow to reach a location by car or on foot. Clear instructions by voice guidance and turn arrows on a map ensure finding the fastest way to the destination.

"Location-based experience is among the fastest growing areas in mobile devices. Offering integrated GPS functionality, the Nokia 6110 Navigator will put maps, routing and navigation into the hands of the broadest consumer market world-wide," said Peter Ropke, Senior Vice President, Broad Appeal Business Unit, Nokia. "With the Nokia 6110 Navigator, mobile phone owners will be able to enjoy the benefits of navigation in their daily life and enjoy a wide range of location-based services - whether they want to explore a city, search for restaurants, get weather forecasts, or look for travel guides for a weekend trip."

The Nokia 6110 Navigator comes with a local map pre-installed on the memory card ready for immediate navigation. Additional maps and content - such as traffic information, weather services and travel guides - can be purchased online. Additional maps can be conveniently transferred to the phone by using the Nokia Map Manager application included.

The maps also show thousands of points of interest, such as restaurants, hotels, shops or other services nearby the location, including phone numbers and web addresses for calling and browsing directly with the phone. And, because the map's information is located in the mobile phone, it can be shared with family or friends with the touch of a button.

Moreover, the Nokia 6110 Navigator enables fast and seamless access to online information with HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) up to 3.6 Mbps. Emails can be handled in real time by push email, which also supports attachments as well as features a Message reader function to read aloud your emails.

The smart Nokia 6110 Navigator is an ideal tool for 3G multimedia, enabling real time video sharing and video calls, as well as a 2 megapixel camera with a dedicated capture key, panorama mode, and integrated flash.

For extra protection, the camera lens is covered by a protection slide, keeping the images crystal clear.

The Nokia 6110 Navigator is Nokia's first dedicated smartphone aimed specifically towards the navigation market. This device is another example of the commitment Nokia has to location based experiences such as mapping, navigation and local search and joins the already announced Nokia N95 and Nokia E90 in Nokia's integrated GPS device portfolio.

Nokia 6110 Navigator Reviews

AllAboutSymbian reviews the Nokia 6110 Navigator and writes, "The camera is a 2 megapixel point-and-shoot with built-in flash, and it can also shoot video at a YouTube-friendly 320x240. Using the camera is extremely intuitive, and in effect it's as easy to use as a dedicated camera. You simply pull back the steel lens cover and the camera application automatically activates, then take the pictures using the dedicated button on the left side of the phone, holding the 6110 horizontally just like a normal camera. When you've finished, simply close the lens cover and the camera app deactivates, bringing you back to whatever you were doing with the phone before."

MobileBurn reviews the Nokia 6110 Navigator and writes, "The Nokia 6110, while not an imaging device, put in an admirable performance when it came to photography. The built in 2.0MP camera is not an auto focus unit, and as such lacked a certain level of crispness, but otherwise was quite good. While balance was generally very good, with even indoor shots coming out with good colors, though a little more richness in images would not be bad."

3G reviews the Nokia 6110 Navigator and writes, "If you’re in the market for the 6110, then the navigation feature will be the number one priority, but this smartphone also has capable multimedia talents. It runs just like countless other Symbian Series 60 smartphones – easy to use and ripe for third-party software – while you get a two-megapixel snapper with a neat active sliding lens cover. This shutterbug takes decent snaps, despite underperforming on close-ups, and video is shot in a respectable but still judder-tastic 240x320-pixel resolution."

GSMArena reviews the Nokia 6110 Navigator and writes, "The Navigator is armed with a 2 megapixel camera hidden under a stylish metal cover. It is complete with a LED flash, placed at the side of the lens. Sadly, the camera lacks autofocus. The interface is decent looking and easy to use but doesn't allow a great number of configurations. You can select the white balance and the effects applied to the picture. The effects here are referred to as color tones but the functionality is the same. The flash can be used as a fill light, as there is an option to force it to work regardless of the light conditions. There is also a setting for the image quality which can be set to one of three levels - basic, normal and high. The secondary camera can be used for shooting self-portraits or for taking pictures to add to your contacts details. It takes pictures in QVGA resolution, which should be just fine for that purpose....The image quality of the camera on Nokia 6110 Navigator is at a good level, given its hardware characteristics."
