Nokia 2610
Average Ratings
Nokia 2610 is an excellent phone.
The 2610 model is a good phone for people who just need a basic solid performer.
The phone comes with good battery life, decent signal strength, reception is good, and it comes packed with many features for a basic candy bar style phone.
Some of your pros include easy to use menu, keypad is also simple and easy, and the phone has fairly loud ringing volume.
Some of the cons are that the menu is a little bit slow, and you can't change the color of the signal/battery level bars in stand by mode.
The phone does have a beautiful screen, and it is capable of MP3 ringers. Also, the memory for this basic phone is generous, and you can download some fun games, like Tetris and Bowling!
Texting with this phone is fairly simple too.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a good, basic phone for a low price, you have found the right hand set. The Nokia 2610 will provide you with a reliable wireless device for years to come.
Great phone for $30!!!
The primary purpose of a $30 cell phone is to allow you to make cell phone calls. This phone does exactly that and does it well.
The Nokia 2610 is available from TMobile as a pre-paid "To-Go" phone for $30. The rep at the TMobile store told me activate the phone with the included SIM card and use up the free 10 minutes before I put in my own SIM. Apparently there can be some warranty problems or improper activation issues if you don't.
This phone has no bluetooth, no camera, doesn't come with a USB cable, and isn't (from what I've read) supported by Nokia's sync software. Sure, I'd love to have some of these features, but then it wouldn't be a $30 phone.
PROS--This phone provides way better signal coverage than my old phone (T610), both in my home and on a highway I drive a lot. Actually, I'm stunned on how much more coverage I'm getting. Call quality is excellent.
works great for me
i recently purchased this little jewel when my 13 month old k1 died.have been a loyale moto fan for years ,but now after using this phone makes me want to check into nokia's higher end phones.
pros:
-great battery
-great rf(AT&T)
-sound quality is very good
-profiles of ringing options
-ringtones are nice and loud
-media net has acceptable speed for a basic device
cons:
-sometimes interface can be a little sluggish and slow to respond to keys being pressed ,which if not careful ,can result in a ringtone being blasted in your ear
-easy to hit wrong direction on d-pad
in all the phone does what it should do,make and recieve calls.i will keep it for back up even if i do get another advanced phone.

Can talk on it for a long time and battery wont go down a bit!
Cons

Mines only came with games you can only play 3 times! THAT SUCKS
Have boring Screensavers
Overall Im in love with this phone Im 13 and this is my 7th phone in a year!
Great phone
I love this phone for several reasons:
1. It is basic and exactly what I was looking for.
2. It was cheap (bought new for $39.99).
3. It is small.
4. Epic battery life.
5. Great, reliable signal.
6. Messages send extremely quickly.
7. Nokia dependability.
At first, the screen was hard to see, but after changing the contrast it was fine.
Cons:
None really. Maybe a side key for volume. That would be kind of cool, though it hasn't made a difference yet.
Nokia 2610 Real Deal Review
Cons:
1. The screen is darkly tinted and has a reflective type effect which makes it hard to see at times.
2. Basic Phone, no camera, bluethooth, MP3 blah blah blah - but you don't buy this phone for the extras!!
Pros:
1. Price!! This phone can be purchased for around $39.99 sometimes less and is available through many sources.
2. Has your standard Nokia functions
Reception and internet browsing work well
Volume on earpiece and speaker are pretty good. Receives text and picture messages quickly.
The Nokia 2610 is a great entry level phone for the U.S. - A nice phone to use as prepaid for yourself, the kids or a secondary or backup handset.
Decent phone for the money
Pros:
Battery Life
Reception
Cheap
Decent Sound Quality
Cons:
Basic Phone
No Bluetooth or Camera
Sluggish response on things such as IM etc.
Basically all in all the phone is a decent buy. It can be purchased for 40 bucks for Tmobile. Decent buy for the money and it gets the job done. I would check into other options if you have more money to do so though.
Not the best
I have this phone right now and i just wanna get rid of it.When playing songs on this,they sound all scratchy and stuff,and my most fave thing about a phone is when it can play high quality sounding music.I'm all about the music and this phone is definately not.
pros:
nice keypad
easy texting
large contact list
large message content
large enough screen
cons:
cant see in the day light
not enough memory
bad sound quality
no camera
no hi-tech stuffs
Cute - but not functional
I have always been very pleased with Nokia phones which is why I went hunting for a Nokia bar phone to replace my very outdated bar phone. I picked this one up and immediately had troubles...
Reading the screen is not at all easy. Certainly can not see this phone when outside or in bright light. I've maxed out the Contrast which helps SOME.
Pressing the Menu button is quite difficult. There are times when I have to press it multiple times to get it to respond - especially when attempting to answer a call or locking / unlocking the keypad.
Frankly, I'm on the lookout for a phone to use as a replacement for this thing.
Dawn
2610
T-mobile= black keypad
AT&T(Cingular)= silver keypad
All other reviews hit it practically on the head. Screen is not as vibrant as other previous Nokia models for this venue. 6010, had 4096K display but it was crisper. 6030 is smaller and on the same par as the 2610. Battery on all is great. RF is superb.
