Nokia 2610 review

Network and connections


Nokia 2610 is a cell phone very similar to the 2310 model. It
features the primary characteristics of a Dual Band terminal,
therefore able to operate on the GSM frequencies of 900 and
1800 Mhz. Furthermore, Nokia 2610 has GPRS data transfer
technology, slow but reliable, but does not offer any wireless
connection such as Bluetooth and IrDa. The battery is good and
the display is decent.



Design and features


Nokia 2610 is a device with a classic look, in
"candybar" style, that is, a single block. It is a
well-finished model, which stands out for its slimness and the
simplicity of its controls. It has an integrated antenna, which does
not affect its handling, and a black-gray color scheme. The
keyboard is practical and comfortable, with numerous shortcuts
for accessing the various menu functions.



Main functionality


Nokia 2610 features some interesting functionality from a
voice standpoint. There is, for example, the integrated hands-free
speaker and multiconference calling, to be able to talk with
several people at the same time. There are also many
common options, such as alarm clock, clock, agenda,
currency converter, calculator, countdown timer and
stopwatch. In the phonebook, moreover, it is possible to save
content in memory up to 3 MB, unfortunately without the possibility
of expanding it through additional cards. As for
messaging, this cell phone supports Sms, Mms and E-mail,
with T9 predictive text.



Entertainment and multimedia


The entertainment sector, however, is not the richest overall.
Missing, for example, is the possibility of listening to music on the
move. Java games, on the other hand, are fun and downloadable
from the network through the WAP browser. Customization
options are very good, such as ringtones, as well as the
possibility of customizing images and wallpapers.
Nokia 2610 is unfortunately not equipped with an integrated digital
camera.
