Nokia 2610 - Black (Unlocked) Cellular Phone

The phone is simple to use, in fact a 4-yr child can make it work.

CONS:

* It feels, well, not particularly sturdy, which is atypical for Nokias.
* It is quite behind the current technology, lacking a camera of any type, mediocre screen (both is quality and size)
* The address book and contact functions are again, behind the current technology

PROS:

* It's cheap and feels cheap, but it does have a new battery, which in some cases, is as much as a new phone.
* Function is easy, and simple to use.
* If you loose it-- no big deal. You could loose 12-15 of these before you are close to the cost of an I-Phone.

I don't expect to get more than 6 months use out of this phone, and it will only be used for making telephone calls-- no internet, a few text messages, but that's about it. This is a shining example of "you get what you pay for".

I am on a T-mobile flex-pay plan, phones are not included. I have been purchasing unlocked Motorolas (C139 & F3) that didn't give me the little extras I needed. Simple things really, calendar and detailed call records and updated time from service provider. I purchased this Nokia 2610 to hopefully fix these problems. The Nokia 2610 is a simple, easy to use solid phone and it gives me all the features I need. A calendar for reminders of appointments and special dates, detailed call and messaging records and an authentic T-mobile headset. It is really small, but not to small that I have trouble with the keypad. Solid feel, just the right weight feels good in hand but not to heavy for in the pocket. Signal is incredibly strong and the battery life is really long, I only have to charge once a week. I have always liked the look of Motorolas, but after using a couple and then switching to a Nokia, even a cheap one like this, I think the Nokia performance has won me over. The only complaint is the screen is a bit hard to read in sunlight, the mirror finish on the screen cover creates a bit of glare. I can live with it considering I only paid $25 shipping included here on Ebay, well worth the price I would have paid $50 for it now that I have used it for a while. In sumation I would buy it again and would highly recommend it to anyone who might be on T-mobile and need a replacement headset.

The good: The Nokia N91 features a 4GB hard drive and an integrated music player that supports a number of file formats. The phone also offers a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.

The bad: The pricey Nokia N91 is clunky and heavy, its camera has no flash, and it's sluggish in performing its tasks.

The bottom line: The Nokia N91 offers some great features, such as an integrated hard drive and music player, but its sluggish performance and high price tag keep it behind the competition.

Specs: Band / mode: EGSM 900 / GSM 1800/1900 (Tri- Band); Talk time: Up to 240 min; Combined with: With digital player, With digital camera

This phone is the second generation of the 6010.(the original "brick" phone)

The 2610 is lighter and smaller(fits in pockets and small areas with ease, battery charges quick at home and in the car, lithium battery) than the 6010 and has a lot more features. But this phone is not for the technical junkie, this is a simple phone with simple features.
No camera, no mp3 ring tones.
But great signal strength and battery life.

I have a digital camera to take photos and a computer to do all my internet so I only need my phone for is making calls and sending/receiving I.M.'s.
Phone will receive media images but the quality is poor. 1 X 1 inch screen.

Easy to use, would be a good teen phone or mature person's phone. Also good for
someone who wants a quality phone that will make calls and send/receive IM but not much else.
I bought this phone because I am not on a regular contract and needed a good inexpensive phone with limited whistles and bells.
Internet capabilities are possible but the screen is too small for multimedia applications. Period.

I had a Nokia 6030 for the last almost 2 years, and never had a problem with it. The only thing that bothered me was the tiny menu button in the middle of the navigation keys...hard to press without hitting anything else. Nokia fixed that with the 2610. It's the perfect size now, and you won't be looking at your list of names in your phone book when you're trying to get into the menu. This phone is great for a basic inexpensive non-flip phone...and if it's dropped, it doesn't die or fall apart, just like it's predecessor.

It takes the standard, been-around-forever Nokia charger, as well as the standard BL-5C battery. I upgraded without having to buy any new chargers or accessories. All i picked up was a new belt clip holder...well, 3...those tend to break, but are cheap and also protect the phone.

Some complain about the screen being hard to see in sunlight. Here's the fix...don't look at the screen when the sun's on it. Even on expensive phones...you don't try to fight the glare...go in the shade. And if you're in the car driving and can't see it...you should be looking at the road, not your phone.
