Summary: A nice little phone with professional features
Review: I zeroed on this phone looking for a low-cost GSM Tri-band(incldg 900) phone which is light-weight, has speakerphone and all reasonably modern features, I didn't need a camera.
This one is possibly the lightest, has good reception & sound quality,good speakerphone,IR transfers worked good. Even the radio sound was very good.
Doesn't have voice-dialling,blue-tooth.
Overall I found it pretty good for professional use. It does very well what it is supposed to do.

Summary: Ringtone tip
Review: http://www.mididb.com/
Its a moderate quality phone. It is very light and attractive. It has subpar voice quality and no voice dialing. So if you'd be interested in intense using, then stay clear. For moderate use, its really the best, because of its portability, and yes, extra extra long battery life. Beats every other phone in the market.

I gave it 3 stars, because I expected a lot more from Nokia in terms of voice quality. NOKIA (old gold 3390 is best in voice quality available for pennies on ebay) is the leader in cell phone industry. Motorola is a close second. Followed by Samsung, and others.

BTW, someone from muwap is advertising its website, but I recommend go to
http://www.mididb.com/
Its free! You can download hundreds of midi files which you should be able to use with this phone. Only challenge is copying it to your phone. (Try data cable or DataPilot. It offers many other benefits.)
Also, don't forget to google on midifiles for several other english language and regional (hindi) language midi files usable as ringtones, widely available on the WWW.

Quick TIP: If you need better voice quality, then consider other NOKIA models or since T-MOBILE does not carry the other better NOKIA's, consider Motorola V300 (5 star model available from T-Mobile)

Browsing the web feature is pretty handy on this cell phone, but you need to subscribe first with t-mobile for 4.99. (not bad I think)

Summary: I love this phone!
Review: This is the best phone I have ever owned. It is small, lightweight, and has many options. The only downside is that there are no covers for the phone which cover the screen, leaving it vulnerable to scratches. Otherwise, it is all good!

Summary: Simply OK
Review: I've had the phone for the last six months, lost it last week and won't be ordering another one.

While it's better than any Motorola, which of course is not saying much, I found frequently that the keys would depress without necessarily registering a number. This forced me to look at the screen everytime I dialed to ensure a call.

In addition, I found reception to be somewhat subpar, and there were several dead zones where the phone could not operate at all. Prior phones would suffer from poor signal strength in some of these zones but rarely dropped the call.

Finally, the phone would freeze on me from time to time, and if it was on while I was in a deadzone (elevator, subway etc.) I frequently had to turn it off and then on to get it to register.

Summary: good phone
Review: Do not shop at ustronics.com, I got this phone first from ustronics.com, but they false advertise saying its new, but I found out my phone was used, had scratches all over and when I went to go return, they want to charge me shipping and a 15% restocking fee. They false advertise and very very rude customer service and they sell refurbished goods. I bought the same phone again new from ATT and sold the old one to my bro. So if anyone buying from ustronics, becareful cause they will rip you off big time. I made complaints to BBB so if you go through this I suggest you do the same.

Summary: Good if you have small fingers
Review: Very Small and light. Probably the best phone for the size.
Also, syncs with Outlook, Palm or Lotus Notes. Huge plus for me. Free syncing software on Nokia's web site you can download.
However, small screen and small keys make it a little difficult to use sometimes. Easy Nokia navigation and design make up for the small size.
T-mobile has "decent" coverage if you live in an urban area, just don't plan on leaving major metro area or you are out of luck for coverage.

Summary: Nokia 6610 a nice suprise
Review: I've had this phone from Amazon.com for more than 5 months now and it is the best Nokia I've ever owned! Long lating battery, great looks, super convenient size and crystal clear sound quality on Tmobile network. Back then, I got the phone for free, but now you can get a $100 back for ordering this w/the service! Great deal. Jump on it. Plus, the hands free speaker phone is a great plus for those who can't drive & chat legally anylonger. Phone includes great games, a headset radio, and of course, great graphics and contacts listings.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Value for money
Review: The product is of really good quality as can be expected from Nokia in the realm of cell phones.
Real easy to carry around as it is sleek and compact.
User Interface is good.
Signal Reception is excellent.
Only snag I found is that the battery charge indicator is not entirely accurate but again my piece might be an exception. But still it easily holds good for 2h talktime as is claimed.
Also, it does not have too many good ring tones.

As regards service provider, I find the coverage of T-Mobile inadequate when compared to Sprint. So keep in mind the service provider and the coverage you require when you buy the mobile.

Summary: A nice phone with poor sound quality
Review: The phone has some good features and is very nice to play with. But unfortunately, the sound is not good. I had the same experience as the customer who posted on 7/29/03. When making calls, there's this hissing sound at the background, very disturbing. Same problem with the speaker. Also, I had to adjust the volumn to the loudest in order to hear it at a normal level.
Not sure why so many people give it five stars. Maybe I'm just unlucky to get a bad phone. I've returned it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not recommended
Review: For me, this phone was a loser. The reception was terrible; it was always very difficult to hear. Turning it on or off was practically impossible. I had to jam my thumbnail into a little slot, hard, for a prolonged period of time. The menus were a hassle - required much more navigation than other phones I had. The only good part was the battery. I'm not sure how my experience differed so much from other users, but I was so glad when I happened to lose this phone that I didn't mind paying for another one.
