Nokia 2610

...these 'modern gadgets'. The Nokia 2610 is very much for those in the latter category. The 2610 is a 'candybar' phone which is just about the most basic model that Nokia have made since the late 90's. I bought mine for £20 to use as a cheap phone when doing things that could harm my Blackberry but since breaking my Blackberry I have used the 2610 as my main phone and so here are my thoughts on it. Look and Feel The 2610 looks a lot more expensive ...
...set out in the traditional Nokia layout and the screen is behind a semi-mirrored screen. However impressive this mirroring looks, it makes the phone almost impossible to read in anything but near-darkness as it reflects so much. The rear battery cover is semi-rubberised which feels quite good. In summary the phone looks and feels like a luxury phone from 2001. Durability and Robustness I break mobiles. I don't mean to but it just happens. Bearing ...

Review of Nokia 2610

...came to replace my ageing Nokia 7210i. And, my did it serve me well. Nearly 4 years and still going strong (I say going strong, the battery was dying every day, and it looked like a dog had a go at it...). But what phone to get? I didn't want anything complicated. I didn't even want a camera. I never used it on my other phone, why would I need one on my new phone? I could have even done without a colour screen. All I wanted was a phone I could talk ...
...It had to be a Nokia also. I've only ever had Nokias, I really like their menu layout. And so it was, I'd have the Nokia 2610. It was a steal at only £39.99. And it was the only Nokia availavble for under £50. Three day's later, the phone arrived. First impressions were good. It looked nice, and it was very light, but the case didn't feel very strong, and there's a bit of a give if you apply some pressure to the back. I immediately phoned up Orange ...

Review of Nokia 2610

...of the cheapest made by Nokia but in the end it doesn't seem worth it, I bought it to my father because he needed "just a mobile phone" with no extravagant features and I noticed this basic model. I soon realized it was a mistake. The most unpractical thing that I noticed soon after I bought it is the monitor light. The monitor shows the clock (which is good) but you can't see anything unless you touch any button to activate the light... touching ...
...you have to quit the menu end return to the main screen before you can see what time it is... so if you wanted to use this as a clock too FORGET IT because it's really unpractical. A few months ago an amazing thing happened... dust started to collect BEHIND the glass that covers the screen, if it was hard to see the clock without activating the light before, now it's pratically impossible. I cannot even clean it because the protective screen is attached ...

Review of Nokia 2610

A good basic phone. + Reliable. Have dropped it a couple of times to no ill effect. Very limited extras (in fact, i don't use what extras are available, and would actually prefer not having to interface with them). + Cheap - I think I paid £34 + Longish battery life (I only charge it twice a week or so, using the energy save settings) + Good memory capacity for texts + Stylish (I think) - Very annoying to actually *work* with texts (I just counted, ...
...start texting!!!) - The screen is very dark - can't see it in sunlight. - Personal preference (women with big bags, you might agree): I have realised that a larger phone, more easily identifiable as 'mobile' , might serve better than this tiny thing when rooting through a densely populated handbag. - Reception not great but that I think has to do with my provider, rather than the product ...

Review of Nokia 2610

After my lovely Nokia 6230 had a run in with a washing machine I finally had to replace it. The phone I chose was the 2610 and I think its great! ITs size and weight are perfect it fits in the hand perfectly, I have no worries about dropping it as the back and sides offer plenty of grip to hold it. The buttons are large enough so that you can quickly type a message without the worry of hitting the wrong key! The sreen is an excellent size not so ...
...you need. Like all nokia phones it uses the same generic charger, and same menu style layout allowing for a very quick and simple navigation artound differnet menus. It does have one major draw back though when charging then screen shuts down so you cant see the time. I love this little phone it's basic and simple to use however it does lack a few of the more modern touches, if your looking for a relativley cheap phone that does what a phone needs ...

Review of Nokia 2610

I bought Nokia 2610 two months ago. My reason to have this phone is simply because this phone because its cheap. The price when I bought this phone is around $65 and it's one of the cheapest Nokia you can find today. The phone performs its job very well as phone that I can use to make or receive call as well sending or receiving SMS. I really love the the phone because the battery life battery life is stunningly long, it can stand by over 5 days. ...
...In my opinion, Nokia 2610 is not the kind of entertainment phone that is very common these days where you can take pictures, watch videos, or listen to music on your cell phone phone. This phone made intended for those who want a phone to make phone calls and send and receive SMS, and can do without all the new multimedia craze. In conclusion, I'd recommend you who need simple phone to have it. It is inexpensive and works so great for its functions. ...
