Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This Symbian operating system-based smartphone from Nokia offers flagship features in an innovative form factor. With a megapixel camera, removable memory expansion, Bluetooth, and support for robust mobile Web and email functionality, the 7610 is the ideal solution for mobile warriors. And because the unit runs in the Symbian Series 60 platform, scores of third-party applications and peripherals are available.

Design

Click the image to get a closer look at the 7610's features.

The 7610 is a candybar phone on steroids. The large screen sports 176 x 208 resolution, as well as support for 65,000 colors. At just .74 inches thick, the phone is very pocket-friendly. Just below the display is a five-way selection button that allows you to navigate and control the phone's menu's and features. The unit's internal antenna means there's nothing to snag or break off. The rear of the phone houses the megapixel camera unit, which features 1152 x 864 resolution. An RS-MMC memory slot allows you to expand the unit's built-in 8 MB of internal memory. The unit ships with a 64 MB card, but higher capacity cards are available. The 7610 also features changeable faceplates so you can dress up the phone to suit your style.

Calling Features
The 7610's address book supports up to 1,000 entries, including multiple phone numbers, as well as physical and email addresses. The 7610's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included, as is a vibrating alert, and you can use your favorite MP3s as ringtones. Meanwhile, more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular's MEdia wireless web service. Ringer IDs let you assign specific ringtones to particular callers, while picture ID technology lets you similarly assign images or pictures to callers. In addition to name-based voice recognition dialing, the phone also features technology that lets you dial a number by speaking the digits to the phone. Lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The 7610 is a mobile messaging and Internet powerhouse. With support for the MMS (multimedia messaging service), the phone can send picture, video and text messages (Cingular messaging charges apply). When coupled with the 7610's megapixel camera, MMS opens up great opportunities for robust messaging. Instant messaging is also supported, and the phone ships with a built-in email client. The email client is pre-configured for SBC Yahoo! email accounts (other accounts are custom-configurable).

Getting on the Internet is easy with the 7610. It supports the GPRS data protocol and when used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia downloads and mobile web browsing. Cingular's MEdia service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

The 7610 supports PC synchronization standards via USB or Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC. Nokia's PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. You can also use Bluetooth to connect a wireless keyboard for efficient text entry. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 7610 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock.

Imaging and Entertainment
The 7610 is designed for flexible mobile fun. The built-in megapixel camera captures stills and up to 10-minute video clips to the phone's 8MB of internal memory. More photos, videos, applications and games can be stored on the memory expansion card. The phone supports playback of MP3 and AAC audio files, as well as 3GPP and RealMedia video files. Picture effects and custom screensavers, backgrounds and themes can be set up to fit your personality.

The phone is a powerful gaming companion with support for Java and Symbian games. Many games are downloadable via the Cingular MEdia service.

Vital Statistics
The Nokia 7610 weighs 4.16 ounces and measures 4.28 x 2.09 x 0.74 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3 hours of digital talk time, and up to 250 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS 800/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Service, Awesome Features, February 25, 2005

This review is from: Nokia 7610 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)

Let me first start by talking about service. I have seen many reviews that complained about service or more often the customer service of a carrier. Customer service is unrelated to the phone itself, but service is not...The reception this phone gets is incredible. Wherever I go I always have full-service reception. My buddy placed his Nokia 3620 real near my 7610 (both ATT Cingular), to gauge how much of a difference the phone really makes in reception,and I had 3 more bars!!This is a new generation smart phone vs. another (older gen) smart phone, too, not comparing CZ to diamonds.

Now to move on to features. This phone has everything you could want. The to-do list and calendar features are very in-depth and useful. Combined with Nokia PCSuite and the cable driver from the Nokia website, you can seamlessly transfer files back and forth between your PC/laptop and your phone. I am like a kid in a candy shop with this feature and am working on assigning a different mp3 for all of my friends and family! Sound comes through much clearer on this, playing true MP3s, not MP3s converted to WAVs like on the 3620. Only drawback is that Cingular does not recognize that this phone has the feature in my area, probably because (as the local cell phone shops said) it is 'not available in the Colorado market.' I have no desire to pay $2.49 per ringtone from them anyways, so this is not a problem for me and I doubt the rest of you are inclined to either.This phone also has the capability to record up to 10 MINUTES of video! All I can say to that is WOW. I have not ventured anywhere near that length (1-2 minutes is all so far) but the quality of the video is incredible, especially considering the source (a phone).This is also a Bluetooth phone, so you can do all the things Bluetooth does.I have only transferred files via Bluetooth, but the process was slow, most likely due to the older OS of the receiving phone.The Symbian OS on this phone is just plain fast, no lag whatsoever, runs seemlessly. The 64MB card that is included with the phone is also great, but fills up fast when you are uploading mid and high quality MP3s at 4-5 MB or more per. Would have been nice if they had included a card with more, but for $199 I am only being wishful bordering on greedy.I would defientely call this phone a serious deal and highly reccomend purchasing it.Get this phone, two bills, letstalk clearer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant, Durable, and Powerful, April 8, 2005

This review is from: Nokia 7610 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)

After doing my bit of research and reading a couple reviews on the Nokia 7610, I decided to get this phone with my new plan. My previous phone was a Samsung e715, which was good for the first 6 months before the screen turned washed out looking. For my second phone, I wanted something that could handle more functions, was more customizable, and could expand with my needs. Basically, I wanted something between all the other cell phones and a full fledged PDA. The Nokia 7610 was perfect because it had the good build quality that Nokia stands for but also uses the Symbian 60 v7.0 operating system. It is essentially a smartphone. People who are looking at this phone have to realize that it is not intended for people who want to use it for one reason only. This phone comes with a 1.2MP camera/videocamera, Bluetooth, speakerphone, a mini MMC expansion slot (with 64mb card included), and one of the best LCD screens around. In addition, a USB cable is included, so you can download programs, mp3s, themes, ringtones and send them to your phone. Tactile response is pretty good. Actually, I'd say it was a little "too" good since the buttons might seem to give a noisy "click" sound to some people. But hey, at least they're not mushy and hard to press. The speed of the operating system is pretty good as well. I heard that the Nokia 6600 seiries phones had lagging problems when turning on the phone or opening programs. It seems this problem has been fixed in the updated OS here. Overall, I'd say this is close to the most perfect phone I could imagine.
