    Cool! It pinpoints my location really fast and provides an accurate direction to my destination. Won’t get lost again! It’s the only feature that makes this phone attractive.

    The integrated A-GPS system is really a welcome addition to the functionalities of a mobile phone. The bundled Nokia Maps 2.0 software worked mostly without a hitch, though sometimes due to the proximity of some roads to one another, the actual location may not be reflected accurately. However, it did usually correct itself automatically within a minute. Moreover, the availability of directions to surrounding amenities such as shopping and food centres made it a really compelling gadget to have, especially when driving my loved ones to explore new places in Singapore and across the Causeway during weekend getaways. GPS capability on foot was another function which differentiated the 6210 Navigator from the competition. The ability to navigate on the go while walking was a definite plus point which got me hooked the moment I used it. It was especially useful when trying to locate a particular landmark or road after alighting from the MRT or bus. One could then estimate the time of arrival based on real-time walking speed, which made being late for appointments a thing of the past. Furthermore, the 6210 Navigator could also be used as a trip meter to track my daily jogging mileage around my neighbourhood, thereby transforming my mundane exercise regime into one with a target which I could work enthusiastically towards. Certain areas could possibly be improved on. The lack of a bundled in-car holder made in-car GPS navigation a bit of a hassle as one would need to turn away from the road momentarily to look at the navigation screen. This could pose as an inherent hazard and may discourage potential buyers. Also, the magnetic compass was susceptible to frequent errors which required repeated calibrations.

    The GPS and Maps functions are great. However, I always see this feature as something you need to use in a very sudden situation. You won’t have plenty of time to open the application and try to see through the options, etc. The few “extras” like compass and pedestrian guide are nice to have, but I doubt anyone who wants to seriously use a GPS would use those. The response/signal of the GPS is quite fast, compared to a few other brands I have used before. The other minus point is the software, etc, that does not come free. If things need to be paid (which I think is only fair) then put it upfront. Pay for it, then use it permanently.
