Nokia 2610 Review

The Nokia 2610 is an entry-level phone without a camera. It is intended for those who want a very easy-to-use phone that has all the basic features of a phone and no more. It is definitely a very smart-looking phone, that looks more expensive than it really is. At just 18mm it's nice and slim, and weighs just 91g. The keypad and 5-way navigation key are extremely easy to use.

Whilst there are no fun features such as a camera or radio on the 2610, it has the basics, including an integrated handsfree speaker, a voice recorder, and supports most types of messaging. However, the big problem with the 2610 is the poor LCD display. This is very hard to read when outdoors, even in low to moderate sunlight, making the phone virtually unusable outside. Nokia seem to have realised this and the 2610 uses larger than average fonts, but outdoors it just isn't readable. The Nokia 2310 is a better phone and with the addition of an FM radio.
