Nokia 500 Auto Navigation GPS: Just Don't Call it a Phone
By Charlie Sorrel
Nokia really doesn't like people calling it's devices "phones" The trouble is, the alternatives are pretty clunky. The new 500 Auto Navigation, Nokia's first stand-alone navigator, gets the tongue-twisting moniker handsfree dedicated personal navigation device. Catchy.
The GPS unit doubles as a Bluetooth handsfree set, and the regionally-tuned mapping software can offer up contact details of points along the way, which means a quick click-to-call without looking up numbers for, say, hotels and restaurants.
A built in MP3 player will beam tunes to your car radio via FM, and there are photo slideshow and video functions for times when the split screen traffic info service fails to bail you out of gridlock. Due in Europe this fall for €300 ($410), with a Worldwide rollout soon after.
