Slider Phones are hot, in more ways than one. They have also become associated (sometimes falsely) with higher prices than other phones, thanks to flagship devices like Nokia’s N95.

The 6210 Navigator is part of Nokia’s new series of phones where GPS is the selling feature. A lot of other phones has GPS, this phone is just blatant with the handle Navigator. Its a good looking phone that looks better in black than mocha red, which are the two colors available.

Nokia 6210 Navigator

The built and the working of the slider is excellent, a very smooth and positive action. The back of the phone has a cheap and tacky feeling – a pity since the rest of the phone is quite well built. The front has this shiny plastic coating that we feel is overdone. this makes the Nokia 6210 look a little too loud. The Navigator monogram, a blue fore cornered star, on the front of the phone looks overdone too. Call Accept, Reject and Menu buttons are large, well laidout and very easy to use. The Number keypad, although flat, is large and well spaced – a boon for SMS junkies. All the button on the body feel solid and work well.

The screen is crisp and can display upto 16 million colors. The 6210 Navigator has a 3.15 MegaPixel camera that is good for taking the odd image, but falls short of some of the other 3.2 MegaPixel rated cellphone cameras we already seen. Music quality is decent, but not as good as some of the other Nokia’s. A 3.5 mm jack means you can use your own headphones.

The phone interface is fast, thanks to an ARM 11, 369MHz processor, and signal quality is good. We feel a larger battery should have been present.

At $459, the 6210 Navigator is expenssive for what it offers.
