Nokia 6110 Navigator is meant to be a fully functional stand-alone satnav device right out of the box. It is no wonder its navigation software and hardware are taken to a new level, with Nokia, Route 66 and NAVTEQ contributing alike to its development.
The box contents of Nokia 6110 Navigator are on the rich side. Along with the phone itself, you will find a wired handsfree, a USB cable and a DC charger and two CDs - one with the Route 66 software and add-ons, and the other with the required software for pc synchronization. A manual, a quick start guide and a 2GB microSD memory card ( I had this size in the box) are also to be found in the retail package.
Measuring 101 x 49 x 20 mm in closed position it has a bulky volume of 89 cc.The phone feels surprisingly light when held in hand and, due to the large screen,it doesn't look as big as it really is. The build quality is very good . The slide mechanism also feels very reliable, but is not even nearly as smooth as in Samsung, which are way in front of any other company when it comes to sliders .
Right under it are the video-call camera and the loudspeaker grill. The 2.2" display follows, with the soft keys right under it. They are placed on each side of the D-pad and above the Call and End keys. The End key also acting as a Power key. Under The D-pad, 3 more keys are situated : Menu key, Navigator key and Clear key.
On the top side of Nokia 6110 Navigator you will find charger connector and a 2.5 mm audio jack.
Nokia 6110 Navigator has QVGA resolution with 16M colors. This is a must for the Navigator, as it is likely to be placed on a car's dashboard and thus exposed to a lot of sunlight.
Nokia 6110 Navigator is powered by Symbian 9.2 OS and uses the Series 60 3rd edition with FP1 user interface,which offers a couple of advantages: a repeated alarm clock and a voice recorder, which is not limited to a only 1 minute. The size of the built-in memory here is 40MB.
The display features an active stand-by mode. The two softkeys' functionality is configurable. The handset can be configured to autolock its keypad upon closing the slider or prompt you to lock.
The phone has an Offline mode, switching off transceivers but allowing the use of the other capabilities of the device (such as Bluetooth connectivity and GPS). Can be used if you start the handset without a SIM card.
As with any smartphone, a Task Manager is present. It is launched by a longer press on the Menu key on the keyboard.
The phone's main menu has four different view modes. The first two are the well known grid of 4 x 3 icons and the list view, and then there is a V-shape and a Horseshoe mode. Both are 3D and look quite nice. Most of the submenus also allow changing the type of view. Navigating the menus is fast with instant response to keypresses and no delays.
Connectivity on Nokia 6110 Navigator is achieved via Bluetooth v2.0 or through a miniUSB cable. The phone also has a microSD card slot and the phone itself supports data storage mode for USB connection, which makes the memory card appear as a removable hard drive to your PC.
The 6110N supports all the four bands and has 3G too. HSDPA ensures even better data transfer speed and EDGE can be used in areas where 3G networks are not available.
The Navigator-this is probably the most important feature of the phone.This time the Nokia maps software is neglected in favor of a third party application. The Route 66 application is used. The program itself is embedded in the phone's firmware, while the maps and other data are loaded on the memory card.
