Customer Reviews

It does the job
Let's face it - you're not going to buy this phone if you want to be on the bleeding edge of mobile phone technology. This is Nokia's entry-level phone, and so it is designed for calling, texting, storing contacts, and little else. It does all of these things very well, thanks to Nokia's superb and easy-to-use operating system technology. I bought it because I am a very light phone user, and I am exactly the kind of person this phone was aimed at.

It's very easy to make and receive calls, and the sound quality and volume from both the normal speaker and the loud speaker are excellent.

Text messaging is not perfect, as I find the buttons are too small and close together for flawless operation by thumb. This just takes a little getting used to and I still make a few more mistakes than I did with my old phone.

Other features are sparse, but cover my needs. The address book, alarm clock and calendar do everything you'd expect them to, and the menu is easy to use and familiarise yourself with.

The build quality is pretty good - the phone itself is rock solid, but the lightweight plastic buttons seem a little flimsy. Using the navigational button results in other keys moving slightly.

The styling is, of course, a matter of opinion, but I think this is a smart and attractive phone. It's also wonderfully small and pretty light. I have forgotten that I had it in my pocket on a number of occasions.

The battery life is phenomenal - I took the phone on holiday with me, fully charged, and despite sending two or three texts per day and making about half an hour of calls in total, I managed to get through the entire ten-day holiday without it switching itself off. I only charged it on the last day to make sure I had enough battery left for the journey. Overall, I've had this phone about a month and a half and have only had to charge it three times.

Overall, I really can't fault this phone except for its buttons. If you want a basic phone that simply works and doesn't do anything fancy, and assuming you don't have unusually fat thumbs which would make the buttons nearly unusable, this phone is for you.

Nokia 2610
The 2610 is a basic phone that in theory should work great. Unfortunately it has a few minor flaws and one major flaw that makes the phone almost unusable. In normal day light it is impossible to view the screen. This is a combination of the screen not being bright enough and a highly reflective screen cover. I have tried adjusting the screen setting to no avail. When I rang the local Nokia centre they knew exactly what I was going to say as soon as I mentioned the model number.

My advice is unless you only use your phone at night or indoors then avoid this model.

fiddly fiddly fiddly.......not a good phone
I bought this phone for a relative of mine who is not that uptodate on phone technology. There are several problem with this phone. Firstly the back light aint that great its hard to make out the lettering on the keys. secondly the buttons require super human strength to press they are not easy. thirdly the screen layout is very poorly designed and the font size is very small. its a fiddly phone. oh yeah one last thing. the duration of backlight is extremely short. also if you press a button to make it light up again it will do the action under that button which isnt that great if i accidently call someone just to make the back light appear. all in all its not that good as a simple phone and for phone geeks!!!! definate no no. I suggest the nokia 1600 for a simple and easy phone to use. good layout and its not that hard to get used to very intuitive
