Nokia announced today its auto navigation device, the Nokia 330 with the ability to include Europe wide maps.  It provides spoken and visual directions on a 3.5″ color touch screen.

  With the Nokia 330 Auto Navigation, there is no need to worry about
where you’re going. Simply enter the destination of your journey and follow
the directions from the large 3.5 inch color touch screen, optimized for
intuitive ease-of-use. You can choose other destinations easily too from
the quick address look-ups prompted by the Nokia 330 Auto Navigation.
    “Consumers are increasingly eager to use personal navigation devices
while driving and we are delighted to introduce the Nokia 330 Auto
Navigation device to meet this demand,” said Razvan Olosu, vice president,
Multimedia Enhancements at Nokia. “Nokia 330 Auto Navigation complements
the recently announced GPS and navigation solutions from Nokia. Finding
your way across Europe is simple with this comprehensive navigation
package, including an integrated GPS receiver and European maps.”

Seems like driving in Europe just got a little easier.
 

I wrote recently about looking at a deal at Tracfone, where you could get a free C261 Motorola cell phone when you purchased a 1 year card (online only).  Anyway, I went ahead and got the deal online and my phone arrived yesterday.

I must say I am very pleased with the phone.  It took a few minutes to get the SIM card installed, about an hour to fully charge the phone, and then I activated it online and it was done!

The phone has a very sleek design, is small, and the camera works pretty well.  I am still learning the different features and how to use them.
