Summary: YO WHAT A FIND.
Review: I purchased this phone for just 50$ and there is no end to what i can do with it. Nokia and T-mobile really teamed up well on this baby. It puts an end to organizational deficiencies as well as communications and internet, without a bulky phone like the Treo or something, which i had to cell because i was so unhappy with it. Now my little 6610 is the most coveted item at school! People have paid me money just to borrow it because its so elegant. Service is great as far as i can tell, features work like a charm, ringtones are high quality if you buy them from T-mobile and AIM is great. Now i can always be in contact. This is probably your best bet if you are looking for a phone in this price range, or like me, do not have the patience to deal with annoying flip phones. A great deal in general! i would not give up this phone for the world.

Summary: 1 month, no problems, great phone
Review: I'm very pleased with my 6610 phone. Yes, the features are numerous. The speakerphone works better than any speakerphone I've ever had. People I talk to on the speakerphone are shocked when it comes out at times that I'm even using a speakerphone. The sound quality is excellent, except, maybe a *tad* too quiet at times when there are quieter talkers on the other end of the line. The included earpiece is very comfortable and easy to use. I have not had any distortion problems with this phone and am more pleased with this phone than any I've used before.

Nokia has definitely won me over with this one.

Summary: 6610 = Great Phone and a few extras
Review: I am a person that needs my phone(s) on demand. I currrently have service with T-Mobile, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The reason so many is that I am a Contractor and all of my Subs have these carriers and I can benifit from the Mobile to Mobile features that companies are now offering! That beside you are prob. very well aware of many of the features that this phone is known for, and one that has NOT YET BEEN MENTIONED: using this phone as a modem for ANY computer with a USB 1.0 port! Using the GPRS option you can pay 19.99 extra a month and have unlimited internet access added to you account. YES it is 56k speed, but the functionality is what you are paying for. I Myself find this great for when I am at a site I can run to my truck and hook up my modem cable (49.99 @ nokiausa.com or t-mobile.com) press dial up on my laptop (by the way it is a Mac PB 1gz. and in a matter of seconds I can access my Email, Fax, and the entire web from my truck! The only problem that I have found with the Internet service is that it does not access MLS (real estate broker software) very well at all. I find a great amount of value in this option for any and all the people that travel buy car and do not have access to the T-Mobile "Hot-Spots". It does well in all aspects of internet browsing. As i also leave you with this review I would like to thank you for reading it.

Summary: Don't Have the Phone just commenting
Review: I saw another review saying his only gripe was a lack of voice dialing. The phone DOES have voice dialing according to Amazon & T-Mobile and Nokia. The phone may look large but it is very small smaller then the 3390 phone. My sister has this series of phone and she loves the radio and headset. I find the lack of entertaining games on this phone quite disturbing. I don't really like bounce. I have always known Nokia to provide me with good games on their phones. Battery life is good for a phone of this size. But anyway, the only thing you should really look at here is the fact that the phone DOES have voice dialing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great screen and great sound
Review: Ok, everybody loves the FM radio in this, but you want a cell phone first, right? The 6610 excels as a cell phone, thank God. The voice quality is very good, and it gets great reception (that is, in places where you get T-Mobile coverage, which is not that good; see below). The color screen makes this free-after-rebates phone shine bright, and commands are very responsive.

My only gripe about the hardware is the buttons. Nokia seems on a campaign to revamp the phone keypad, which IMHO is totally unnecessary. This model does have the traditional key arrangement, it's just that they are really close to one another, and have unconventional shapes, so it takes a big getting used to for someone like me with big hands. (To be fair, the same can be said about many Korean imports, and the Nokia's build quality is light years ahead of the Koreans.) Other than that, this is a perfect phone for those of us with no patience for flips.

Finally, I reiterate my thumbs-down rating for T-Mobile as a carrier. Their network coverage is very sporadic, and the network always seems overloaded, resulting in very unpleasant calling experience. If you can get this phone for Cingular or AT&T, go with the other carriers.

Summary: Great phone, great service, no voice dialing
Review: The Nokia 6610 is a relatively new phone, and what a great phone it is. When I first saw the 6610, I thought it was too small. After using it, I found the size to be perfect for carrying in a pocket. It is just a tad small to hold to your ear with your shoulder, but that is solved with the very comfortable handsfree ear-piece which is included. The ear-piece has a button that answers and hangs-up the phone so you do not have to mess with the phone at all, unless dialing a number. Unfortunately, the 6610 does not offer voice dialing like my previous phone, but the other features it packs outweighs this shortcoming.

When I turned the phone on, the first thing that hit me is how good the screen is. The resolution is very good and the colors are bright and even changeable! The phone has several color schemes you can choose from. I like the default blue. You can also set a background wallpaper. The ringtones included are awesome, and did I mention they were polyphonic? No more annoying series of beeps. This phone plays up to 4 tones at one time and it actually sounds like music. You can also assign special rings anjd graphics to special people when they call. The massive phonebook can hold 300 entries, with multiple phone number per entry, so you can program your boss's home, work and cellphone numbers all under one contact.

The phone also sports an image gallery (with option camera attachment), a calendar/organizer, alarm clock with snooze, FM radio (way cool, even if it is just through an ear-peice), games, Java applications and GPRS high-speed internet connection.

The GPRS connection is sometimes slow, and writing instant messages with the included AOL Instant Messenger software is a pain, but the other t-zones applications are quite useful. You can get weather, movies, horoscopes and more with a few clicks. The service deafults to showing the information associated with your billing ZIP code, but you can change the default and seach other areas while on the go. One downside: as of this writing, T-Mobile hasn't updated their t-zone system to fully support the 6610. Their website does not show it as a compatible phone, and should I try to access the game downloads on t-zones the system returns an error message saying my phone is not supported. I have been assured this will be fixed soon.

Now, for the T-Mobile service: I cannot say enough good things about the people who answer the phones. If you have a question, they have the answer. And should they not know it, they can find it out pretty quick. Every phone experience has started with a very brief time on hold followed by a cheerful representative answering the phone. All my questions or problems have been quickly and satisfactorily resolved. I'd like to see my old carrier do that!

The rate plans are also very good, at least for me. Different people have different needs, of course, but the T-Mobile plans are priced very well for the minutes and services you receive.

The phone would have received 5 stars if the phone had voice dialing and the game downloads from t-zones worked. This phone is highly recommended otherwise.

Summary: T-Mobile ruins an otherwise good phone
Review: Nokia makes a great phone, that's clear. With all its complicated features, the menus are easily accessible and the quality of the features is great. The one huge disappointment is that the phones manufactured for T-Mobile lack many of the menus and functions that a Nokia straight from the manufacturer should have. One of the things T-Mobile brags about is the fact that it's a "worldphone" and can be used in Europe, etc. Yet they've gotten rid of most of the languages that should be in the phone, including Italian, German, and Dutch. The internet functions of the phone - WAP and GPRS - will ONLY work through T-Mobile's services, because they have deleted the menu options that would enable you to configure the phone to be used on a different network. Therefore, if you wanted to travel abroad and pop in a local SIM card, even if you unlock the phone, there is no way you can use the local WAP browser or internet. After spending hours being transferred from one tech help person to another, I got fed up and have decided to return the phone. Bottom line, if you're attracted to this phone because of its tri-band feature so you can take it abroad, forget it. Find another phone, or buy this one in its manufacturer-unlocked form.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good phone
Review: This phone is good with a huge array of features built into it. I purchased the phone last week and have been using till then.. I didn't had any problem till now. The design is sleek and the color screen has good resolution. It is very light weight and has a good signal strength.

However, the main problem that i think is the with the sound quality. It is not as good as the Samsung phones that i have used earlier. When talking the voice is not very clear. But, I would definately recommend this phone. Go for it...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PEOPLE WITH BAD AUDIO QUALITY HAVE DEFECTIVE PHONES
Review: I have read a lot of the reviews and my phone does not have a hiss or anything that people are talking about. It is crystal clear. This is one of the nicest phones Nokia has made. I do recommend getting the data kit for those geeks. There are a lot of cool websites with games and MIDI ringtones to download for free.
