Rating: Summary: Menu flaws? Mine couldn't send text messages Review: I upgraded to a 6610 at my local T-Mobile store. When I got it home, I discovered that the menu options for sending messages via either text or email simply weren't there: It defaulted to unchangeable email. So I spent half an hour on the phone with tech support, only to have the online tech person pull one off the shelf and tell me he had the same problem. I returned to the store, whereupon the clerk insisted that he could make it work; he couldn't. He spent another half hour on the phone with tech support, to no avail. So I had to give up and return it, having lost about 4 hours. While I had the phone, the positive features were: good sound quality and an excellent fm phone and earpiece. Negative: impossibly tiny and difficult to operate, barely visible, power button. Poor visibility on the keys. You have to tilt the phone around to catch the light on them.
Rating: Summary: GREAT Speakerphone and GREAT reception!! RECCOMEND!! Review: The title says it all... The two biggest things is the excellent working speakerphone "unlike the Nokia 3650" and the superb reception Nokia is known for in the GSM phones they make...Only con I can think of is no Camera.... No big deal for the size.. This phone is a winner...
Rating: Summary: Perfect Review: Anything this phone does, it does perfectly. The speakerphone, the radio, all features work perfectly. The Speakerphone: This phone has a very cool and useful feature--the speakerphone. As said before this works perfectly. You can adjust the volume to be heard anywhere or so that it doesn't make that big of a disturbance. The person on the other end of the call can hear you perfectly. You can be up to about 3 feet away from it and it will still work perfectly. Only one complaint about the speakerphone, you can only activate the speakerphone feature once the person you are calling answers the phone, not while it is ringing. The Radio: This phone is one of the few phones that have an FM radio tuner built in. This radio receives fairly decent reception but not nearly as good as a normal radio, but as long as the stations are coming in clearly the phone's radio should work perfectly. Tri-Band: One highly beneficial feature of this phone (at least to me) is that it can be used anywhere in the world except a few countries that do not use GSM, a few in Asia. I bought this phone for my trip to South Africa and it worked almost perfectly. The only problem I had was a small glitch with T-Mobile. Anywhere I went in South Africa this phone received full bar reception. If it worked like that in South Africa, I imagine it would just work without a hitch in Europe. Sold in other parts of the world: Another benefit of this phone is that it is truly an international phone; the 6610 is sold in almost everywhere in the world. This means that there is a good chance that this phone will not break easily like typical American phones. Or on the rare occasion it does you can bring it into any T-Mobile store, which are located in many countries in Europe. I cannot stress enough how big of a benefit it is to have a European phone and a European company providing your cell phone service. Able to use service in another country: If you decide to go to another country for an extended period of time, you can just buy a SIM card from a service provider in that country. You would then have a phone number in that country and not have to pay for international roaming in that country. Size and weight: When you put this phone in your pocket you forget it is there; it is unbelievably small and oh, so light. This is a benefit for many reasons; one being just for appearance, your pants won't be bulging with this phone in your pocket. Battery Life: The battery life on this phone is surreal. It lasts, truly, 7 days on standby. I've used the speakerphone for almost two hours once and the battery did not even go down one single bar. It is amazing that the battery lasts so long when the phone is so small and light. This phone has many other features, IR,; just to name one, the features above I view as the most beneficial. The phone has a few minor inconveniences, but only because it lacks those features, Bluetooth and high spend internet, but there are very few problems with things that you expected this phone to do. Overall, I highly recommend this phone. It is a perfect phone in such a small and appealing package.
Rating: Summary: A very nice little phone. Highly recommended. Review: I have used this phone for about two months now. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the sound quality could be a tad better, but it's by no means terrible. Also, sometimes the speaker distorts at high volumes, but not often enough for it to matter. Overall, the Nokia 6610 is a great phone that will satisfy most people. There have been issues with bad sound quality in older models, but that should now be fixed. The only time I've experienced bad sound quality is distortion caused by my wife talking too loud into her 6610 while calling my 6610. Why do people still feel the need to yell into phones?! Anyway, the sound quality and reception are above average, and voices sound relatively free and effortless. If you want flawless sound quality and reception, go with a Motorola V60 or P280. They're both older models but can't be beat performance-wise. You won't get the feature set of the 6610, but that's the tradeoff. Nokia menus are also 100% more intuitive than Motorola menus. I swear if I had a pet monkey he'd be calling Africa with my 6610 in no time! I won't go into all of the features, but I will say the radio is nice (but you have to plug in the headset), web browsing is great on the color screen, and java games may become addicting! The calendar/organizer is surprisingly full-featured and easy to use... typing in entries is a breeze once you get used to predictive text. It's so handy I don't even use my paper calendar anymore. If this is going to be your first phone, you will love it. If you are used to Motorola P280-like performance, you may be a bit disappointed. If you're on the fence about this phone because of all the negative reviews, I say go for it. Get this free phone, enjoy the features, and you will wonder why people were bashing its sound quality.
Rating: Summary: So far I am more than Pleased Review: I love the pros and cons reviews so here ya go: Pros: Size - extremely small and convenient will fit in your pocket and not bother you. Sound - Excellent Polyphonic ringing tones are very nice (check cons) It also doubles as a radio, which is a nice feature when you are bored. Speakerphone - Loud and clear Has some nice extra features like currency converter and a stopwatch. Surfing the web on it is nice as well, I just wish there were more wap pages available. Cons: Ring tones only come with crazy songs and annoying rings, there is only one ring that sounds close to a regular ring. The screen is easily scratched but if you have the warranty you should be able to swap it out. Games kind of stink and you cant download them you have to get the link cable to get additional games.
Rating: Summary: Great buy Review: Nice little phone... light compact.. great features .. buttons do seema litle sticky tho..and the hands free kits' connector might be a problem..
Rating: Summary: It WORKS... as a PHONE!!!!!!! Review: Perhaps there is a tone of irony in the title of my review, but I actually mean it in earnest. After having had my heart broken by a sexy piece of hardware that simply wouldn't perform. I replaced it with this not-quite-so-dazzling, but definitely more functional device. Although the Nokia 6610 is a little short on the features department, it is an outstanding piece of hardware for doing what it was primarily meant to do: to be a wireless TELEPHONE. The reception and sound quality are top-notch. I can routinely talk on the phone in my house in the suburbs, which is an unaccustomed luxury, even with T-Mobile service. I like the size and weight of this little critter. I am able to carry it close to my body, in places where other phones are not so easily concealed. The keys are close together, and the layout is a bit funky in relation to standard rectangular layout keypads, but it's not too weird. The fact that the "0" key is the space key for text input is a bit confusing, as many phones use the "#" key instead. But that's not an insurmoutable obstacle. The screen is bright, easy to see in the daylight, with nice colors. It receives very nice MMS pictures from other GSM phones. There are some features in the user interface that I find a little inconvenient. The menu options appear one at a time, taking up the whole screen, and one has to scroll down one by one, or have memorized where they are in the menu order, to select them by using the number keypad. Thumbs down on that one. The vibrate setting is LOUD! So loud, really, that it doesn't work terribly well as a silent ringer option. But, then again, the ringer can be SO LOUD that I heard it ringing inside my office, when I was already out on the street... Which was a good thing, because I realized I had forgotten my phone... Other things that I miss are voice-activated dialing and a standard 2.5 mm headset jack. I'd like a camera phone, but I'd rather have a phone than a toy that takes pictures but makes no calls... PROS: - Light, compact design - Solid, high-quality construction - Well-backlit keypad - OUTSTANDING signal reception - Excellent sound quality - Bright, visible screen - Speakerphone - Very long-lasting battery life CONS: - Some features in the user interface - No voice activated dialing (WHAT WERE THEY THINKING????) - No option for caller-ID pictures or individualized ringtones. - Propietary headset jack

Rating: Summary: I love this phone Review: One of the best cell phones I have ever used to-date. I like the speakphone function a lot. It allows me to place the phone on the table while talking and working on my computer or other jobs. I am very pleased with its quality and durability. I like the automatic key lock function. The phone is very light weight. The screen is bright and ring tones are unlimited. The FM radio is cool. Most of our emplyees use this model phone. Best regards Sadoun Satellite Sales
Rating: Summary: Best of the Best Mobile Phone Review: While going for a cellphone, I was fully determined to buy a NOKIA only as it is the best in cellphones. After much survey of all the present handsets and recommendations from friends, I bought this NOKIA 6610. And really this is the best phone one could have. It has all the features one would need in a cellphone. It is lightweight,sleek and attractive. This phone is very user-friendly, easy to manipulate & very convenient to scroll in menu etc. The time taken in shifting from one menu option to other is in microseconds only. It has FM radio option and I can listen to music anytime. Its speakerphone option allows us to do long talks conveniently, lying on bed & phone lying by your pillowside. It comes equipped with lot of wallpapers and polyphonic sweet tunes. Only if we could get one camera in it..it did have scored over all other competitors.... I am enjoying my phone a lot....
