Pros: Convenient size. Loud speakerphone. Nice keypad. Color screen.
Cons: Small memory. Could be faster.
The Bottom Line: You can't miss with the nokia 6610. But if you're a gadget freak, a 6800 might be better. If you want a camera, a 7250 would be your choice.

| orlyaa's Full Review: Nokia 6610 Cell Phone |
The nokia 6610 does its job well. That job being, phones calls and SMS messaging. It is nicely-shaped, suitably small, and has an OK display. The GPRS functionality is a decided plus, althoug the lack of Bluetooth might bother you. There is only a limited amount of memory for Java applications (250kbytes or so) but then most Java MIDP 1.0 applications out there are cheesy games, so no great loss.
The screen is nice and bright, but it's passive and not transflective, so in daylight it washes out.
The sound quality is quite good. But then I'm used to that, I've had quite a number of nokia phones. The speakerphone is a useful gimmick though. It's nice and loud. The earphones (which double as the FM antenna) are just ok -- the hard earbuds are not exactly the comfiest. Although the FM reception is fine, I think it's a gimmick since you'd drain your battery quickly by using the 6610 as a radio.
The battery lasts 3-4 days under regular use. The T9 predictive text input is well-integrated (better than older Nokia phones like my old 6210). I like the keypad, the "hard" keys are preferable to the rubbery keys on the 6150 or 6250 (my preference).
Occasionally I can lock up the phone while playing Java games (there are lots of nice ones out there -- sure beats playing Snake when you're bored in an airport terminal or something). But the software is decidedly less buggy than in some previous phones (6210, 7110). The phone is a bit slow though, but not as slow as my Siemens ME45.
Overall, a good buy. You can hardly go wrong with Nokia.
