I have had one over half a year. Works pretty well for a basic phone BUT it's almost useless in the sun. The screen covers act like mirrors making it impossible to see anything on the screen in bright conditions.

I borrowed this phone from my father and it is the most convienent little phone. its lite weight fits anywhere with no problem and the sound with the earpiece is great and if i am multitasking the speakerphone is ideal. if you are not intersted in games and music this phone is perfect for anyone. the reason why i am on this site today is because i dropped the phone and i destroyed the screen.

I have the version sold in stores with pay as you go service - i think a couple buttons were removed but you can still adjust everything from the menus. No it's not the ultimate phone but for $30 including activation and the ability to go fo almost a year without paing a bill it is the most trouble free phone i've had plus it has 6 programmable keys so you don't need to search the menus for what you most use. Definitely it does not have the best sound or speaker or reception(t-mobile)but keeping voice and text notes are easy - texting is easy - the small amount of memory is conserved with a compression algorithm plus a little extra can be cleared and more if you can resist loading it up with useless ringers, etc. For the price and cost of use you cannot in your right mind have any complaint. Be real about it - it is a phone that does the basic things good enough. It's also wise to learn how to use it and to remeber at least the functions you will use.

i dont care about the games, etc...what bugs me is that the speaker is barely .5 decibals (not sure really, but can barely hear), and there is no way i can find to put the volume up!

This phone has the most un-intuative key layout i've EVER seen. I'm stuck with this POS as a work phone. The screen is washed out. So bad it makes the monocrome look great. The games are lame. No radio. no mp3. Feels flimsy. It's basically cheap crap. This is "the" COCROACH of phones!!

The review says the phone is mp3 compatible. With no bluetooth or infra-red, how do I store music?

Go to profiles and check the settings.

Great little phone if your looking for just that... Battery life is exceptional too.

I received the 2610 yesterday and plan to use it as a "knocking around" phone for camping. I have another "good" phone for daily use but may end up using 2610 all the time. As the owners manual says on page 9, section 3, you can adjust the volume. Screen contrast is at Menu -> Settings -> Display -> Display Contrast. Most features work, like text messages and web browser, but some are restricted by the cell company. Sound is good and speaker phone can be very loud or soft as desired. PDA functions are a plus. To turn it on and off, hold the red phone button like the book says on page 7. If you don't have a User Guide, you can download one from Nokia. (Page numbers will be different.) I've been in trouble for bringing a camera to some places (like locker rooms and similar places) so I like that this phone doesn't have a camera. I rarely use it on my other phone anyway. I have recorded my own ringtone so now when it rings, it says "Telephone" in my own voice. I wanted a unique ringer. After playing with this phone for two days, reading the book and adjusting the settings, it seems to be a very good phone.

when in a call, just press the right/left arrow on the arrowpad to change volume, or when listening to ur recorded audio press right/left pad..or clik on menu->tools->my shortcuts->navg. key OR rite key selection --> scroll down to VOLUME

Fred
hold the power button for a few more seconds (atleast 5 secs)

Can anyone help me to bring up the volumn on Nokia 2610? I can't find anything regarding volumn on booklet menu and phone. Did they actually forgot to design the volumn bottom for this phone?

Actually it has a very good finishing. For middle class people its a great phone. The main purpose of mobile is to talk and SMS.This phone satisfies those needs.Thats enough know. I liked it very much than any other models.
