Aside from unveiling two new ESeries devices, Nokia also announced two other devices. According to the official release, both the Nokia 6710 Navigator and Nokia 6720 classic are designed to “showcase the best that Nokia Maps has to offer.” In that sense, and as you can guess for yourself, both phones come with built-in GPS receivers and are pre-loaded with the latest version of Nokia Maps (3.0).
The two devices have many similarities that include QVGA screen, 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and Carl Zeiss optics, Bluetooth 2.0 support, HSPA connectivity, as well as Symbian OS with S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 running on top of it.
The Navigator unit is a better device, though, boasting larger 2.6-inch screen (as opposed to 6720 classic’s 2.2-inch), and the WiFi wireless connectivity support (which the 6720 lacks). In addition, the two devices have different form factors: the Nokia 6710 Navigator is a slider, measuring 104.8×50.5×14.9 mm and weighing 117 grams; on the other hand, the 6720 classic is a candybar-shaped phone with dimensions of 110x45x14 mm and weight of 110 grams.
The Nokia 6720 classic and 6710 Navigator will start shipping in second and third quarter of 2009 at an estimated retail price of 245 EUR and 300 EUR before taxes and subsidies, respectively.
