Rating: Summary: Slightly better than average phone in its class Review: First of all I have been a big nokia fan and have been upgrading my cell phones about once a year (right after the release contract is over). My last phone was a Samsung S105 which IMO is superior and cheaper to this phone. Below is how I evaulate this phone with other T-mobile phones which I have borrowed from parents/friends:Sound Quality: The most important thing for me is sound quality. Nokias have always had good sound quality and this is no exception. I think the sound quality of this phone is slightly better than my Samsung phone, the Motorolla T720 series, and the Sony Ericsson T610 series. The loud speaker function on the 6610 is great because you don't need to put your phone right next to your ear to talk. Overall Design: I like my phones to be small so I can fit it in my pockets. Of all these phones the Motorolla and the Sony Ericsson phones are the smallest. The 6610 is the actually the longest but they are all very small. As much as I like Nokia phones the flip phones IMO are much better because a)you wont scratch your screens/keys b)you dont need to lock your phone all the time to prevent accidently hitting the keys. Ease of use: How easy is it for me to get to a certain menu? The Samsung phones has a customize function so that you can assign certain functions to directional buttons (like assign alarm clock to the left directional key). That is a very nice feature. The 6610 is still easier to use than the other two phones (T610, T720i). The Sony Ericsson phone (T610) has the most whistles and bells, but is also the hardest to use. Battery: The Nokia, Samsung and the Sony phones can all last for 3 days provided you don't talk too much. The Motorolla phone have a horrible battery which lasts about a day (although I heard that the Motorolla T722i has a much longer battery life). Features: The T610 has the most functionality hands down. Personally I found the integrated digital camera of the T610 to be very nice. My girlfriend is paranoid when I am not around her and I just take a pic and send it to her on the spot so she can regain her sanity. The T610 can also compose music, a feature which most won't use. The 6610 has the radio function which is utterly useless. It also has a stock tracking app built in (also useless) and a somewhat useful application which converts all types of metrics (currency, length, area, etc). The S105 (Samsung) has a beautiful big display (65,000 colors), and I can't say much about the Motorolla. All these phones have color screens, polymorphic tones, and are internet ready. In music tones department the 6610 has 20 chords(thats number of different instruments which it can play) I think, the Samsung I think have 15, I donno about the other phones but I feel the T610 has the best sounding ring tones. Regarding PC software support Nokia Suite does not work with some versions of XP as I tried to connect my phone via infrared port on my laptop. I called Nokia tech support and they blamed Microsoft. Oh well.. Overall this is a slightly better than average phone. Both the Samsung and the Sony phones offer a lot more features than this 6610. Personally I like the Samsung phones better because I found myself liking the flip phones so much more. I think there is a good chance I will try to get a Samsung flip camera phone next year. If T-mobile does not offer such a phone most likely I will get the T610. They are all free if you get a new account anyway, but stick to T-mobile if you are going to use your phone overseas because T-mobile actually allows you to unlock your SIMM Cards so that you can buy SIMM cards cheap from other nations and plug into your phone when you are doing some international travelling.
Rating: Summary: perfect phone Review: This is the best phone I have seen.
Rating: Summary: I bought 2 Review: I bought 2 of these phones 2 months ago for myself and my girlfriend. We got a familyplan from t-mobile which saves us tons. The phones are awesome. We hardly ever have to charge them, get great reception (live in Chicago), and the customization and applications are awesome. Here's a hint: go to Nokia.com and get their PC suite and a connection cable if you dont have IrDA or bluetooth. You can do *so* much more with the PC suite, i.e. free ringtones from midi files, free graphics from any picture on your computer, and if you know how to program JME you can even make your own apps/games. The phone's sound quality is great (turn up the volume if its too quiet, people, this thing will get loud) I dont have any complaints about this phone and the only thing that i miss from my 8290 is voice dialing.
Rating: Summary: Nokia 6610 great for games and ringtones Review: I bought this slick phone and I am very happy with it. Nice and small and excellent when it comes to downloading games, graphics and ringtones from www.crazycellphone.com
Rating: Summary: nokia 6610 Review: I just purchased this phone and I think this is the coolest phone I ever had. The features are really cool like the radio. The first night I got this phone I put it next to me when I went to bed just to listen to my favorite music station and the handset itself doesnt weight anything its too light and feel so comfy with it. Technology wise, I think this is awesome plus the speaker makes it even great!!!! I love this phone!!!

Rating: Summary: Excellent, but only GSM ???? Review: I thought this was the ultimate phone when it comes to basic features, but i was dissapointed when i saw that it was only a GSM comaptible phone. As I travel quite a lot, I'd want something with GSM as well as CDMA tri-band. For a specific location, I still think its a great phone.
Rating: Summary: i really think Review: i think that it is a were good mobile phone and i may buy it
Rating: Summary: Great phone, but what did you say? Review: This really is a great little phone; its got nice features, a beatiful screen, great ergonomics, and its tiny! I waited a few years between phones, mostly because (like most I think) I didnt really need one. This phone won me over, and a big seller was the size; it fits nicely into any pocket without falling out. The downside though, may be a big one for you. Its quiet. Really quiet. Grandma in church quiet. I've gotten used to it (holding it in just the right realation to the ear, ducking into quieter places in bars) but when others borrow it they're shocked I can use it. So, I recomend it, but not for those that have any hearing troubles, or for those that like to talk a lot in crowded public places (which is annoying, by the way.)
Rating: Summary: Great phone and Improve its phone quality by 100 times... Review: This phone is awesome but I just wanted to say that if anyone wants to trade quality for battery you can putt this code in when on standby: *3370# Change active speech codec? (say yes to enable) #3370# Change active speech codec? (say yes to disable) The quality improved so much that it sounded like a regular phone line when I had about 5 bars of reception. Also when I was talking to my friend I was in a crowded mall and he said he could not hear the people but could hear my footsteps. I couldn't even hear my footsteps! this really improves the quality! if you don't like it, disable it!
