Nokia 2610
Average Ratings
So far so good
Very small, nice design, no problems with volume or key size as other have stated. Only had it for two days, so we'll see after a couple of months. Great signal and call quality so far, no surprise. Replacing a Motorola F3, so this is an upgrade. Will try to come back in a while and leave more insight.
I think I found a replacement for my sync
Okay, so I previously had the samsung a707 sync, and I began to have problems with it, then it died, It could have been something with the sim card, it could have been the battery, and it was over it's warranty. So I went to walmart to see what new phones they had there. Well this phone was on sale. As prepaid. I just switched my sim card out and was on my new phone. I did previously have a Nokia 1600 and 1110i (they kind of are matching from previous card phone service) and I just loved those phones. This phone is easy to use and is great for the senior citizen. The only reason I am giving this device a 4.5 is because of the phone having no camera.
On the bright side it has the sims and I love the sims, it has just always (i dont know been a fun game, and so I got the whole series that was able for this phone.
Ringtones:
The ringtones are great in sound and just are great in general. If you do like texting then this phone *might* not get the job done. I would find you suitable for the Samsung Jack, Propel, something with the keyboard.
I am a big texter and you still can text well however I feel i was 99 times faster on the sync. Also I feel more confident that when i drop this phone its not going to break in like 300 peices, compaired to what my 200 dollar razor thin phone did to me.
Call quality:
I have not had a dropped call ever on this phone, whereas, samsung you got me 2 to 3 a day.
The Nokia 2610.
Pros: great reception, long battery life, compact and portable, and it has loud volume and ringers. Easy to text, easy to use, phone functions better if you delete all the preinstalled games, themes, tones, and graphics. Nice keypad,
Cons: small screen, sometimes hard to see, but I keep my wallpaper turned off so I can see the display well even outside. This phone is so tiny compared to my Nokia 6010. I wish it were the same length and size, etc, but hey, it's a good upgrade.
The battery life is great, at 1020mAH I am not complaining.
I came back to this phone.
I had this phone from 2007 to early 2008 when I upgraded to a smart phone. I had so much trouble with the smart phone that I finally decided to get a new phone I decided to go out and buy a Nokia 2610 prepaid kit and use it on my plan.
Why? Simple. The Nokia 2610 has stellar battery life, clear reception, strong signal, strong durability,and it is easy to use. I also bought a leather case for the phone so it is hard to destroy. I never had any issues with the phone, except a lack of features, but you know what? More expensive models often exchange durability and functionality for bells and whistles. you get all that jazz, but you also get a buggy phone that has signal issues, short battery life, and poor call quality. With the Nokia 2610, I don't have these problems.
With the Nokia 2610, you may not get the bells and whistles, but if you want a phone that works well and will last you forever with no issues, I suggest you run out and get a Nokia 2610.
AT&T also has the 2600 classic which is nowhere near as good as the 2610. If you have AT&T or T-Mobile and want a good basic GSM phone, get the Nokia 2610 and get a leather case for it and you will have a reliable phone to last you through a whole contract and then some!
all you really need
This one's short and sweet. The 2610 is a basic phone that has excellent reception, call quality, and durability. If you just make calls and want something reliable, this is a good investment. For those of you looking to improve your reception, this phone will do the trick for you. No frills or gadgets, but it gets the job done with the best of them.
2610: Great basic phone.
Where: Houston and surrounding areas.
Who: T-Mobile.
I'm the type of person that needs a phone FIRST. This is the perfect phone in that sense.
After wearing down the Nokia 3220 to the point of being embarrassed to use it in public (however, the phone itself works just fine), I decided to switch to the 2610.
Cons:
Can't change the color of the antenna and battery bars. Kind of annoying!
The center of the menu key makes a clicky noise when I press it. Kind of wish that wasn't the case, especially if I'm trying to be discrete in a quiet room.
2MB of memory. Not the best for storing a whole bunch of pictures you receive from relatives.
Neutral: A camera would've been nice, even if it was just a VGA. I'm not one to take a bunch of pictures with my phone, but would like the option.
Pros:
Sound quality -- awesome. People hear me and I hear them. I expect nothing less from Nokia.
Compact
Ok screen
Customizable selection keys, as well as D-Pad keys.
Great battery life!
Customizable text size for text messaging.
Can make the screen saver a digital clock.
Great phone :)
Great device
A basic phone for making calls. If you don't waste your money on mobile internet or multimedia crap it is perfect! Great battery life, sounds good and is a compact phone easy to carry around. Just adjust the contrast to low for a better screen display and turn off the sleep mode. You can adjust the call volume during a call only using < or > with the directional key.
Nice Nokia, classy look & feel for price
I bought my Nokia 2610 through the online AT&T store for an excellent price compared to the in-town store. Though it has a few items that bug me a bit, I would rate it very high for a low cost phone.
It feels good in the hand, love the blue lighted keypad. Solid feel, good size. The toggle is a bit wobbly and I make mistakes sometimes and get the wrong response. That is one of my bugaboos about it.
I like the styling, the look, the screen is a good size. Only improvement there would be a QWERTY foldout or slideout version keypad besides the usual. But, for my first mobile browser enabled phone, I don't think I would have chosen differently. I'm glad it's my "first AT&T."
My absolutely first cellphone experience is a Tracfone Nokia 2126, no browser. So the 2610 was for me at least, a deluxe experience. A person more used to devices with lots of extra features might not be satisfied, but it does what it ought for the design.
I now want a QWERTY device and might like something that plays music, has a camera. Had to start somewhere with AT&T and glad I started here.
PRO:
FAST texting, can adjust the text size, nice screen, nice layout, clean look and feel, can do email,eBay; good loud speakerphone; like the alarm, calendar, timer, notes; nice selection of downloadable graphics, ringtones, love the croaking frog alert/wallpaper/screensavers. Like the MEdia Net, good 3G speed page loader, FAST scrolling, good browser keypad command responses. Has a quality feel to it, great basic phone.
CON:
Sometimes crashes, particularly under heavy texting, but the negs might just be my phone. The backlighting goes out way too fast, couldn't fix that with settings. Sometimes get error messages with texts saying it failed delivery, THAT's a bugaboo. Had to delete preloaded games to put just a few graphics/tones onboard. Hard to see screen outside even in partial shade.
Excellent no-frills phone
This phone is perfect for those who JUST want a phone. It doesnt have the fancy bluetooth stereo (or bluetooth for that matter), microSD, camera or video or nothing. It's a basic phone that lets you talk, text message and web browsing (at GPRS Speed, which limits it to basic wap sites). Also, since its not fancy and stuff, the battery lasts longer (upto 10 days standby), and it also has profiles and stuff. The only problem is that the buttons feel clumsy, especially the navigation pad.
