Nokia 6710 Navigator

The 6710 Navigator has nothing of its predecessor’s cheap gloss though dimensions and size are almost identical. That’s actually quite an achievement considering the bigger screen and the added zoom bar beneath it.

The new Navigator has better ergonomics and feel, and the finish is outspokenly superior. The phone has a very good weight in the hand, and the overall build quality is commendable. The slide feels very sturdy and reliable and the controls are quite user-friendly.

We are delighted with the great feel and ergonomics of the new Navigator. The minor keypad issues just couldn’t ruin the great impression. The solid and user-friendly device offers a very good screen, comfortable handling and, not least, very decent looks. We’re absolutely sold on the touch-sensitive zoom bar, which performs so impressively it almost feels as essential to a navigator device as a car mount.
