Holiday sales prices are always welcome to the mobile phone industry, but a naturally cheap phone is always better!
Nokia has decided that the world deserves to enjoy GPS technology fully and has come up with the 2710 Navigation Edition. This new phone sports amazing GPS capabilities –meaning yes, turn-by-turn audio prompts. The bargain price is an impressive 99 Pound tag that will make you wonder if this is the perfect phone to have in your car.
Weighing in at 87 grams, this lightweight quad-band GSM device will give you plenty of GPS functionality, media playback and GPRS. As you may have already guessed, the main highlight of this device is the GPS technology. Nokia knows this and they are even throwing in a car cradle just for that. Getting this device also gives you a ‘lifetime navigation license’, and a full complement of updated maps.
The only drawback is that the screen is pretty small; sitting on the dashboard, the maps can be pretty hard to discern, so you cannot really use it on the fly while driving. Fortunately, the voice navigation function will free you from having to look at the device to see your direction. Also, the phone supports Bluetooth accessories so you can easily drive with your favorite headset to listen to the audio prompts clearly.
At less than 100 Pounds, this phone will really make you wonder if you really want to get a dedicated GPS device for your car or just get this phone. Most experts would suggest that it is always better to have a dedicated mobile phone for your car, nothing expensive, just something you can use in case of emergencies. Of course, if you want a gadget that has customizable maps, points of interest and other specific GPS functions, then you might still need a truly dedicated GPS device.
