Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition – In Case You End Up in Land of the Lost

Getting lost is one of the traveler’s worst nightmares, second only to a bad sense of direction. For those who seem to always mix up their West from their East or keep missing their next interstate exits, what they need is a trusty navigator. Rather than employing one like they do in World Rally Championship, just get the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition. It features the latest version of Ovi Maps for entire US and Canada. It is pre-installed and loaded with a lifetime license of drive and walk voice-guided navigation. Users may also update and add maps from more than 180 other countries for free using Nokia Map Loader anytime. Those same features require for subscription on the non-Navigation Edition 5800.

OVI Maps for mobile is a unique application that features instantaneous turn-by-turn navigation for both automobiles and pedestrians. The Navigation Edition’s maps and the ability to search addresses and calculate routes are hard coded into the device. This is in contrast with other navigation devices which require a steady mobile data connectivity to perform the same feat. The integrated OVI Map allows users to use the navigation system even in areas with no data or network connectivity.

When on the road, the mobile phone acts as a full-featured navigator which offers enhanced safety solutions like speed limit and speed camera alerts as well as almost real-time traffic updates on traffic conditions. When taking a hike, the phone gives easy to follow directions and routes that range to one-way streets and through parks, pathways, and other shortcuts.

Nokia Comes With Music, X6: A Music Lover’s Dream

nokia-X6Nokia X6 – an all-new phone or just the same as the Nokia 5800? Definitely not!

There was a lot to like with Nokia’s first touch screen [5800 XpressMusic] but there’s definitely room for improvement, and Nokia did that to the X6. The most obvious change is the shift from using resistive touch screen technology to the more responsive capacitive screen type. Meaning, the X6 will respond quickly to input from your fingers, rather than having an attached stylus. Nokia also seems to have learnt that you can’t have a rocking music player without storage, so the X6 gets a whopping upgrade from the 5800′s paltry 81MB of storage to 32GB. And if this is insufficient, you have the option to purchase a microSD card separately and increase the storage to a possible 48GB in total.

The 3.2-inch widescreen display is optimised for photos and videos, proving the Nokia X6 is more than just a musical masterpiece. Pack 20 friends onto your homescreen, along with communities such as Facebook and it’s also a fully connected social butterfly. Did we mention the 35 hours of music playback? Well, what about 16 days standby time, a 5-megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash, TV-out, video editing, online sharing, Nokia Music store, full web browser and Flash Lite support.

Still want more? Okay then! To complete the entertainment experience, the X6 is equipped by three embedded games – Spore by EA, Asphalt4 and DJ Mix Tour by Gameloft, and direct access from the homescreen to download more games and applications through the Ovi Store.

The retail price of this phone will be around €450 ($679), though the pricing will certainly vary from carrier to carrier. Way too expensive? Well, you can always go for other Nokia Xpressmusic Phones here.
