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.

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.

I love my phone, although I didnt purchase it from here, its still a great phone, the picture quality is absolutly great, the menu and everything it does it fantastic, and my ringtones I get from my own music off my computer which is great because everybody else is spending money to pay for ringtones and all I have to do is download them from my music library and besides my phone isnt out in stores where I am so its one of a kind down here, which is good I like to stand out cuz everyone else has awful aggrivating flip phones
