Nokia 7600 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: October 2004. Updated January 2005.
The Nokia 7600 is Nokia's first generally available 3G handset in the
UK (the 6650 was not fully released in
the UK). It's equipped with a wide range of multimedia capabilities
including video recording and multimedia playback.
Disappointingly for a 3G phone it does not support video messaging
and the screen is the worst on any current 3G phone, but hey, it's a
Nokia!
The multimedia player lets you play music files stored in MP3 or AAC
format, using either a stereo headset or the phone's integrated loudspeaker.
Music files can be downloaded wirelessly from a compatible PC using
the Nokia Audio Manager software which is included in the Nokia PC Suite.
You can also use MP3 or AAC music tracks as ringtones.
Connectivity is excellent, with a choice of USB cable, infrared and
wireless Bluetooth™ connections. The Bluetooth headset is essential
really, as the phone is clearly not designed to be used in a conventional
hand-held way for making calls.
This brings us on to the usability question. First the shape: it's
a love-it or hate-it shape, and that's up to the individual, but there's
no denying that the keypad loses points when it comes to ease-of-use.
Single-handed texting is out of the question.
Overall the Nokia 7600 is a strange beast. It's design is unique, which
can be good or bad depending on your view. It's a 3G phone, but without
the high level of functionality normally associated with 3G phones.
It's key features are surely video recording and music playback, but
with a poor display, excessive weight and inadequate memory it doesn't
really make the grade.
Features of the Nokia 7600 include:
- Digital camera (640 x 480 pixels) & video recorder (128 x 96 pixels,
15 frames per second)
- 65,536 colour active matrix TFT display (128 x 160 pixels)
- Music player for MP3 and AAC files
- Voice recorder
- Multimedia player
- Stereo headset
- Integrated handsfree speaker
- MP3/AAC ringtones
- Xpress-on™ sleeves
- Multimedia messaging, email
- Downloadable Java™ games
- Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared and USB connectivity
- WAP 2.0, GPRS
- XHTML browser
- High-speed data: 384 kilobits per second in 3G networks, or 57.6
kilobits per second in GSM networks
- 30 Mbytes internal dynamic memory for contacts, video clips, images,
tones, messages, music files, add -on applications, calendar, and
to-do notes
- WCDMA/GSM 900/1800 dual mode (automatic switching between bands
and modes)
- Size: 87 x 78 x 19 mm
- Weight: 123g
- Talktime: 2 - 4 hours
- Battery standby: 7 days

I have had this phone for 10 months - on 3, at first it was great, unique,
caught everyones eye, However that soon wared off when Nokia bought
out similar versions. The phone itself is a nice idea, i got used to
the stage layout and the amount of space you are given is great. But
it is not compatible with video messaging, screen savers dont work unless
you only view them from the gallery. The reception of three is discusting,
i live relativly close to birmingham but i have an average of 1 bar,
therefore i am paying to use a phone i cant use! I have noticed also
that it likes to delete saved messages if you have not viewed them for
a while. Additionaly, the video is not as good as it could be and the
quality of speaker is good but could be bigger, you only have to move
the phone slightly and you cant hear the person on the other end at
all!. Overall, i will be happy to get another phone, nokia i like, 7600
are okish, 3G are pitiful! I wouldnt recommend this phone really, unless
you need an experience not to remember!.

This phone seems too be getting mixed reveiws and I can see why. It's
a bit like Uma Thurman. You either thinks she the most gorgeous thing
on two legs or you thinks she is a gangly ugly bird with big feet. I
won't say where I stand on that one but what I will say is that this
is a pretty decent phone in my veiw. More features than an odeon multiplex
and more extras that a packet of strong mints. Yeah I know the phone
has a distinctly odd apperance but I think its quite endering. And as
for the whole texting thing all I have too say is, Its good to talk.
Also when you consider it has MP3, it has sod all memory but if you
want too store loads of songs buy a bloody Ipod. It has enough memory
for music too keep me from dozing off on the tube in the morning so
that will do me. The interface is really easy too use and I like the
way eveything has its place. It ain't cluttered or confusing and the
screen, despite reports to the contrary, is very clear. Look at it this
way folks, how many other phone generate this many differences in opinion.
It's a talking point. And this alone merits it an extra star in my veiw.
There is a draw back. Due to the funky layout texting is a pain, although
I personly think its a waste of time so it ain't of consequence to me.
Any way thats me done weither you love it or hate it you can't deny
it is an experience owning one. Thanks JC

All the functions are technically acceptable, as they should be. But
I would like to get paid by Nokia for using this phone since it gives
me stress whenever I hold it! The alarm function is poor compared with
tha of Samsung. I will be doing an upgrade as soon as I can!

This is an outstanding phone! Hard to get, but great for me when I am
on the go. Don't have to lug around all the extra peripherals to do
what I can all in this condensed package. Using GPRS over Bluetooth
allows me to quickly access my emails while I am out and about, particularly
when I don't have access to wireless LAN access point! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!"
-those 2 words are all that are needed. Looks cool, functionality is
way and above any other phone I have seen, and on top of all that, video
recordings!! Go out and get one now! There are absolutely no compromises
with this phone! You definately wont regret it! Exactly as Nokia defined
it |||"Inspiringly Different"|||

This phone was simply excellent value for money, £30 from CPW.
It has several killer features: The design - I guess you either love
it or loath it! Good quality camera - Unlike many phones, this one comes
with a USB cable, so you don't have to pay 25 pence emailing pictures
to yourself when you want to see them on a big screen. Mp3 Ringtones
- The holy grail of ringtone technology, now you can edit your favorite
tracks to use as ringtones, rather than paying £2 to download
a tinny midi track. Unfortunately, there are a couple of let-downs that
stop it getting that final star: 32MB memory, no card slot - 32 MB is
fine for the ringtones and photos, but only enough for about five mp3
tracks, unless you enjoy listening in AM radio quality. Quirky key layout
- Unless you have Very long thumbs, you'll need two hands to write text
messages. If like myself you consider text messages a waste of time,
consider this a five star phone.

I have had the Nokia 7600 since August 2004. Had it not been free and
come with a free hands free earpiece I would not have chosen it. The
phone is not very user friendly. It is difficult to hold. It is difficult
to dial as the keys are either side of the display. Also the telephone
is not compatible with Windows ME so I cannot download any photos to
my PC.

It is a really good phone the recorder is 1 min not very long but i
hardly ever use it the pictures are very good quality and look even
better when put on the computer the only let down points are textin
ye its a bit hard at first but you will get used to it soon and the
memory thememory isnt enough for it too be an mp3 player but if you
dont put songs on it it will last you ages. the video recorder quality
isnt so good but its still viewable you can record on default (10 seconds)
or maximum (50 mins)its signal isnt that bad ive never lost full signal
the games are really rubbish unless you like backgammon and another
tetris type game plus you can rent games off 3pay, 3pay is really good
i think it givs ya 5 pound credit and 50 mins talk time or 75 texts
(you get to choose) 20 mini movies (these are multimedia messages except
u can only send videos and 20 video talk mins but it is not compatible
with this phone, the battery life is really good so all in all a really
really good phone ignore what other people say if it is bad it is a
really good phone buy it plus if you dont like 3pay you can get it unlocked

This phone is a joke! I've have now had it for three months and still
can't find any positive with it. I've bought it for two reasons, it
was a Nokia (must admit that I've with this phone totally lost all confidence
in this brand) and that it was so different from all other phones (wanted
something outstanding, not what I experinced untill today the most useless
phone that I ever had) First how to use it, the keyborad sucks, it is
anoying to try to write SMS (which I as most do quiet often). Second
the design, (must admit this was the buying reason for me :-( ) it is
not just of coincidence there are now other phone designed like this,
it is common sense that one DON'T design it like the 7600. So my advice
DON'T buy it if expect yourself actually to use it, the 7600 is totaly
useless!!!

This is by no means a rubbish phone but you need to be aware that, although
you'd expect the nice Nokia Symbian OS, it's kind of unique on this
one and nowhere near as advanced. Plus the buttons are really "plasticky"
which is never clear in the photos. Camera works well though, not too
bad.

Well, quite frankly I would rather spend my money on a chocolate teapot.
The screen quality isn't very clear which was a shame as I wanted to
take some photos for a special occasion of my daughter's, and as for
the signal it would probably be better coverage in Timbuctu. I really
am outraged it's a complete disgrace that they make the phone look so
good. If Nokia think that they're doing a good deal, then I'm Naomi
Campbell and Tony Blair has managed to have some sense.

I've had this phone for about 8 months (as at December '04). I still
don't know what possessed me to purchase it, but I can tell you, this
phone only wins on face value. The screen is not very bright. The keypad
is just plain un-ergonomic. I should have waited for the 7610, or the
Sharp GX30i. I have a Toshiba E740 PDA (don't get me started on that
one, I seem to attract lemons....). My nokia thinks it's the boss, and
won't communicate over Bluetooth. I can't get the nokia to work with
WinXP Pro as a modem. An interesting thing to note is that when the
phone can't find 3 reception (my mobile carrier), it wavers between
1 bar of 3 and 1 bar of roaming, however when i force the phone on to
roaming, it gets full reception! Sound quality (and volume) out of this
little speaker at the back is DOUBLED when you remove the back cover.
Nokia should have investigated that further. Sound quality in a voice
call is very good. This is something Nokia has got right. It's a trend
I've noticed in the 3315, 6610, and 2100 (other nokia's I've owned).
I know you people in Cyberworld will tell me off for complaining about
such 'luxuries' in a phone, but when you are paying AUD$100 per month
to use this thing (with calls), you expect A LOT!

Unusual phone, takes a few days to get used to the shape - you'll either
love it or hate it. Bought from CPW on contract at £4.99 per month
and that includes 500 x network mins + 100 text - absolute bargain.
At that price you can forgive the phone any faults and if used with
bluetooth headset then nobody even sees the phone. If you use your phone
a lot and are looking for a bargain you can't go wrong on contract and
all for less than a fiver a month.

The camera is normal-0.3 MP but that camera is alright and I think many

small memory-I have more or less 9 songs and my memory is full. The
design is very special... many people ask me about that phone. The screen
a poor (opposed to other phones from that class)- the razulution is
128 x 160 pixels and the softwere is NOKIA-Series 45. In my opinion,
that phone may be successful story with symbian s60 and memory slot.

Hi people, I have recently purchased the Nokia 7600 from the internet,
in Australia it is currently going for $288 outright. I think the VGA
Camera is good and so is the video, for all those people who complain
about the quality, just remember that Nokia didn't make Megapixel cameras
at the beginning of this year. And teh Video may not be too great, but
it is good for a phone with only 128 x 160 pixels. I personally like
the MP3, but i do have trouble with the fact that it only has 30MB memory
and no MMC Slot. Anyway I think this cute little "ionic" phone is a
great release from Nokia

files,browsing the web and network problems. Many are the times when
i asked him to go and up-grade for another better phone than the ugly
looking 7600. YOU CAN GO BUY THE PHONE IT HAS NICE FEATURES AND ENJOY
USING IT BUT PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET AFTER USE. CME ON Nokia!! THINK OF
THE SHAPE.

i have had this phone for a month now and have had nothing but problems.
the screen quality is relatively poor compared to a sony ericson or
even another nokia, and i am not impressed with sound. getting a signal
has been a huge problem and my wap service randomly disconnects. a huge
mistake its not even worth the 30 quid ppl are paying for it, and the
fact that it can only be got on 3 is even worse. those guys should be
shot. who the hell uses up to 15 quid a month? not me, dont buy this.
i thought the design was unique at first but is terrible, you will need
big pockets or u will walk round like a pratt. ashamed to be seen with
it.

When i went to uk and saw this phone for £45 i thought it was
a bargain for such a good fone. Aftre i got it i realised that texting
on it is quite akward and buttons are quite hard to press especially
no. 6. But the camera is well godd quality but not as good on video
recording. All together the phone is quite decent altough i miss fm
radio and changeable memory card. Mp3 player is great though.

its ok. if u get it on 3 u can unlock it. good thing. also it has good
features. mp3 player and video camera. but what put me off from buyin
this fone is the shape. it has 5 buttons on 1 side and another 5 on
the other. text messages are a pain and calling people you have to hold
the fone in a weird way. the shape lets it down.i would'nt buy this.
oh and 1 more note. on 3 it costs £45 but on t mobile it costs
over £300.

I somehow or rather do agree with the writer of this review. Nokia 7600
breaks new ground in its approach to mobile phone making.The 7600 introduces
a new form factor to mobile phones.Some call it leaf-shaped while others
say it resembles a bar of soap.I frequently refer to it as "The diamond
shaped phone".Compared to the ease with which music was transferred
with the 3300, this was a totally teriible experince.The buttons on
both sides of the screen bring a new element to the way text messaging
is conducted.However the navigational joystick or joypad if you prefer,
clashed with the menu function which works by pressing down on said
joystick.What happens is that the unpredictability of the joystick makes
selecting a particular function with the joystick an iffy matter. How
should this phone be rated?On the positive side,it has a whopping 30MB
of internal memory.Video clips go up to 1.4Mb and the 7600 even supports
3GPP streaming. For those who are wondering about what that 'pee-pee'
thing is,3GPP is the video format common to symbian phones like the
3650,3660,6600,6630,7610 etc. On one hand,this one is definitely a head-turner
and definitely very beautiful to look at. It has all the requisite technologies
such as infared and bluetooth, plus even e-mail support. On the other
hand,the unconventional layout and operation makes it a slight pain
to use. Usually,series-60 types have sunken screens,but this one does
not,and the user is advised to be careful so as not to accidentally
scratch the screen.However i must say that the 7600 is slighty big,and
holding around felt a little foolish instead of fashionable.

At the moment i think this is a quite good phone, not amazing but very
good. Its just right for me. I'm not into the video calls but just the
camera and video recorder. And at least its a phone that works well
at the moment and is colour. im not bothered about the mp3 player or
music player. i got it at the carphone warehouse for £35 cos i
did a trade in. The video is quite good for filming and other stuff.
the internet is brilliant because the colour was great. i would recommend
it to anyone on a budget and wants a camera or video phone but its up

My mate has this phone and I think it is very good with the video recording
and the camera and mp3 and music player. But there are a few let downs.
It's only £29.99 + the £15 airtime to make £44.99.
The phone is soooooooo ugly and I dropped it after a few minutes of
using it because the shape is so uncomfortable. The camera and video
space gallery only take up about 3/5 of the screen which isnt great.
And at the moment you can only buy it on 3 and with 3 you HAVE to top
it up by £15, £25 or £35 each month and if you dont
top up by the deadline you get cut off and you can only receive incoming
texts and calls etc. no wonder its so cheap. Its just like having a
pay monthly phone in a way. The good thing about the video is altogether
the videos has 40 minutes space. The camera's ok and it has a self timer
its just the network and shape that is the problem. You can buy it handset
only but its about £200 - 3250! But anyway it's an ok phone

It is ugly, but I've seen uglier and it's kind of growing on me now.
The camera isn't bad quality and it comes with a cd and cable so you
can link it to your computer but as with most cameras on phones it's
really just a gimmick, if you want to take really decent pictures you'd
be better with a real camera. I was really attracted to it because it
plays mp3s but it doesn't have that much memory and there's no slot
for a memory card so I doubt I'll get enough on it for my journey to
work. You can have the mp3s as your ringtones though, which is a smile.
All in all not bad though, hopefully it'll last longer than my SL55.

I have had nothing but trouble with this phone. Carphone Warehouse say
it is the network. 3 say it is the handset. Either way I have been passed
from pillar to post with everyone passing the buck. I had useless reception
for the first 6 months. I could not send multimedia messages nor download
rings or games. After a short while I could no longer use the connection
to my cpu to back up or download/upload music etc. Today, I took it
to carphone warehouse again to have new software installed which I was
assured would fix the problem. I have good signal strength now but I
still cannot download ring tones etc or connect to my pc. In addition,
I have lost the GPRS button and cannot even access the functions that
make 3 network unique and attractive. I am on the phone to technical
support on hold right now after 6 hours of trying to get this phone
to work. Now carphone warehouse is passing me back and forth between
departments. I dont know if all nokia 7600's are this way but I am certain
I will not be trying another one to find out.

After owning this phone for three months I can safely say that I wish

of not connecting to newer networks. Apart from 3's service being so
poor I think putting Average on the phone rating is purely being kind.
The battery life isn't great, and the keys do get annoying after a while.
I've two months of complaining to 3 about the phone and service I'm

i bought this phone sim free unlocked to all networks for £150. I feel
that this was an excellent investment and do not regret for one second
parting with the money. The only one very minor let down is the inability
to add extra memory but that dosent come as too much of a problem. The
camera on this phone is really good quality, decent video quality up
to a length of 2 minutes 30 seconds. The speaker through which the ringtones
and music files play isnt too bad actually considering this is still
a phone. Admitedly this is the type of phone you love or you hate, but
i am fortunately one of those few who happen to love this "unique" design
and would recommend this phone to anyway.

decent battery life for a camera phone even though the battery is wafer
size. the voice commands and mms and the 3g features are brilliant.
although you can't make video calls, but thats ok because you can make
videos and send them. and video calls kill batterys anyway. you either
love or hate the design, i found it refreshingly different. and the
