Nokia 6210 Navigator feels solid while also being lightweight. The battery cover is made of a stiff plastic and has a slightly rough feel to it, like a piece of flint, which gives the phone necessary friction for when you slide open the top half of the slider. The sliding mechanism feels slick and sure, and gives the 6210 the feel of a premium quality handset. A 3.2-megapixel camera sits on the back but unlike previous N-Series releases, this camera doesn't have a lens cover. This isn't poor design necessarily, it keeps the phone flat and streamlined, though we did find the lens recess did collect a lot of dust and lint after short trips in the pocket of our trousers.
As mentioned above, the 6210 sports a similar keypad to the 6220 Classic, which in our opinion is less than ideal. The pad lays flush with the underside of the sliding half, and while it's an attractive design element, it's just not as easy to use as it should be. The keys feel plastic-y and less tactile than a raised keypad and the top row of keys are awkward to thumb quickly when speed-typing text messages.
