Rating: Summary: Completely met my expectations Review: After going through a whole lot of reviews on multiple sites, I finally decided to stick with the Nokia 6610 (as compared to the Sony Ericson T610) I have owned an ericson and a motorola before, but have been a very happy Nokia user till date. All I needed in my phone was it to be a GOOD cell phone. I wasn't interested in a camera or mp3 player, bluetooth, etc, and having had this phone for over a month now, I can say that I made the right choice. Excellent voice quality, no hanged calls with either the instrument or with T-mobile, with excellent coverage in NYC area. All in all, I'm one satisfied user.
Rating: Summary: Great phone - poor sound quality. My wife loves it, I don't Review: A few good things I like about this phone are:- It looks great. - It's very light and tiny. Good for most people. - It has all the latest features except for the camera. E.g web, java games, java applications, infra red, etc. No bluetooth though. -Great battery life. Better than ... . Infact the best I have experienced so far. It has lasted with moderate amount of talk for 5 days. My other Motorola v300 (which is awesome phone by the way), lasts about 3 days with same amount of talk. I liked everything about this phone but its sound quality. I am very very disappointed by the sound quality of this phone. Its awful. (that's why it gets only 3 out of 5 stars) I have had this phone for a couple of weeks now. I had 3390 before this, and have also tried a couple of ... . It's really light weight and small. Which is good for most people, but people with large hands beware. Stay clear of this phone. The phone book is great. It lets you search by allowing you to type multiple letters. (very rare feature I believe). It lets you copy all your contacts, which served me well to transfer all contacts at once from my old SIM card to new. Do this before you disconnect your old service! If money is no object, and you like flip-ups, and don't care about profiles, then try the ... . It is better overall. And, of course ... is the best.
Rating: Summary: great phone! Review: I love the battery life of this phone and the sound quality is great. The only down side is that the menu is a bit disorganized. It is hard to navigate/remember where some of the things are (calculator, etc).
Rating: Summary: Subpar Phone Review: I received this phone today and am very disappointed with its features. The flaws of this phone include: 1) The screen goes dark in a matter of 20 seconds. As far as I can tell, this setting cannot be changed. This makes it impossible to even view the time on the phone without unlocking it. As a battery saving feature it is useful, but I would like to be able to disable it. 2) The color screen, as many have noted, is of poor quality. It only has 4,000-some colors, instead of 65,000 that many phones have. 3) I find the tones it makes when operating the phone to be annoying (that's just my opinion). You can turn them off, but I'd rather have ones on that are not annoying. 4) The lack of a flip mechanism on this phone is more of a nuisance than I would have thought. 5) The speaker is on the right side of the phone, so you would have to hold the phone on the side in order to get the sound to come out evenly between the two ears. 6) The phone's menus are not customizable, like they are on most Motorola phones. I think Motorola users who switch to this phone will have annoyances with some of the same things that I did. This phone has some positive features which other reviews will tell you about, but I'm too annoyed with the negatives to recommend this phone to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Sound quality ruins everything this phone has to offer Review: I purchased this phone 5 days ago. I was always loyal to Nokia phones. For the past 6 years all but 1 phone I've owned were Nokia. However I was disappointed with the sound quality of Nokia 6610. My 8390 that I used with ATT (GSM) had better sound quality, and that phone was almost 2 years old with thousands of minutes on it. I average about 900 calls a month. This phone has terrible noise in the background similar to what other reviewers on Amazon described. Almost high pitch, "robotic", static noise that comes with certain words. Nokia volume is usually pretty good, but on this phone no matter how high you turn it up it doesn't seem to be loud. The speakerphone volume isn't the greatest neither. Everything else about the phone is fantastic. I've never seen Nokia put so many cool things in their phones, but bottom line for me this phone didn't work out. I returned the phone for Samsung E105. Yes, E105 lacks all the options and style of Nokia, but Sound quality is superior compare to 6610. The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because of the features of this phone, otherwise it would be 1 star. If you can deal with hissing and all other noises then you will love it. If you are like me and every little noise annoys you then stay away from this phone.
Rating: Summary: Good enough 4 talking and messaging, expensive though. Review: The best thing I like on this phone is the keypad. It's very comfortable for SMS addict. With its built in infra red, we can compose and send SMS from computer. The software in the bundled also very helpful to manage the phone book, SMS message (inbox/sent/archieve etc), load wallpaper and ringtone to the phone (but too bad the phone only support 4 channel out of 24 poliphonic sound). One thing I don't like about this phone is the alarm feature. We cannot select one of the ringtone to be alarm sound. We can only depend on the beep which volume is already set incrementally. But I like the snooze of the alarm. Battery life is good enough. The FM radio is good, but need to bring the earphone everywhere. I would give 5 stars if this phone have bluetooth. About the price, I believe Siemens can release phone with same features with cheaper price. But Siemens phone is not really tough compare to Nokia.
Rating: Summary: The BEST phone and GREAT reception Review: The best phone i've ever used. Friendly and intuitive navigation of menus. Speakerphone is crystal clear. Good reception for radio - I hardly use it. Ofcourse, the lightest/sleekest phone in the market. I liked the ring tones that came with the phone. Little different but not annoying. Very bright screen. Great reception. I've T-Mobile as my carrier, i was little hesitant to switch from Sprint, BUT... it is a good decision - I feel. T-Mobile coverage is EXCELLENT and i could recieve my calls at work also - my old sprint phone was a toy at work. Well, now my old phone is a toy for my year old kid anyway. I compared the signal strength with other phones - sony ericsson, samsung - this phone has the best. I was using the phone for the past couple of months. NOT even one dropped call. I would highly recommend this phone and T-Mobile
Rating: Summary: Phone with Problems Review: I've bought this phone on abuot 45 days back. after a month of usage it just powered down and would not start. I called amazon and they sent me a replacement on the 14th of January. The new one died on my again.
Rating: Summary: Good user friendly phone Review: Nokia makes one of the best phones. My first phone was a Nokia and then an Alcatel (which was good too), then I had a Ericsson which was by far the worst phone I've ever seen. The Nokia 6610 is a bit expensive [$] if you get it from T-Mobile but cheaper if you get it from Amazon. The phone is very user friendly. Has easy navigation and great synching with laptop through infra-red. Not that many face plates available right now in USA but soon I hope. The radio feature is quite good too and the battery lasts quite a bit longer than my sad T-28 Ericsson. Don't go for the flip phones, their screens just stop working after a while. This one is robust. My daughter even eats it sometimes and it keeps working. It so light I don't even notice I have it sometimes and it looks really smart. I would highly recommend this or the Sony Ericsson T610.
Rating: Summary: Light and good reception but needs improvement Review: It has a bright screen and is light and easy to use but I had to get it replaced when it stopped working after couple weeks of use. I'd get calls and when I pick it up neither I or the other person on the line could hear anything. I don't have that problem with the replaced handset but now the handfree kit doesn't work. I've been using speakerphone instead while driving.
