The Nokia 2710 is not a high end phone and is ...
... nowhere near the more elite Nokia models, so do not expect high end features - the camera is mediocre, and for a GPS phone, the screen could be bigger, but these are allowable sacrifices given the very affordable price tag attached to it. It's a straightforward GPS enabled mobile phone, with no frills and fancy things. So if you are looking for something you don't have or need to play around with anything much for you to use the phone's functions, then this baby is definitely for you.

One of the pros about this phone is its handiness.

The build quality is not excellent, but not bad either, and the size makes for pretty comfortable handling, both by men and women. The design follows the straightforward feel of the phone, and is Plain Jane from top to bottom. However, the ergonomics of the phone are great, and even while driving, there is little room for wrong button presses and mistakes using the keypad. The dedicated key for the maps also bring plus points to user friendliness/this phone is quite user friendly, so even while driving, there is little chance for wrong button presses and mistakes using the keypad. The dedicated key for the maps are also easy to use.

Battery life is good as well, and stands up to a few days use, but if you plan to use the GPS heavily, always make sure that you don't run on less than 40% battery life, especially on long trips/Battery also performs well by standing up to a few days. However, if you plan to use GPS heavily, make sure that you don't run on less than 40% battery life, especially on long trips.

All in all, the Nokia 2710 Navigation Edition is a very reliable piece of equipment that is very useful for those who are looking for a GPS enabled phone. The price range it belongs to adds extra appeal to it, and it is not a bad purchase if you just want the bare basics.
