Nokia 7610 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: September 2004. Updated March 2005.
Based on the same series 60 platform used by the pioneering 7650 and
3660, the Nokia 7610 was a ground-breaking multimedia phone that features
a 1 megapixel digital camera and up to 10 minutes of video recording.
The phone comes with a Movie Director application, so you can shoot
and edit your movies on the move.
This is one of Nokia's best phones, with full smartphone features,
an excellent display and camera, and Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity.
The range of pre-installed and downloadable applications is immense,
but the design is compact and lightweight (for a smartphone!) One niggle
is the idiosyncratic keypad design which slows down typing and can be
quite annoying. Audio quality isn't the best either, with mono MP3 sound
only. Despite this, the 7610 is an outstanding smartphone that seems
to be virtually free of the reliability and software problems that dog
so many high-spec smartphones.
Features of the Nokia 7610 include:
- Integrated 1 megapixel (1152 x 864 pixels) camera with 4x digital
zoom for quality prints
- Integrated video recorder with audio function and 4x digital zoom
for video clips up to 10 minutes long (128 x 96 or 174 x 144 pixels
resolution)
- Standard and night camera modes and self-timer
- Movie Director - combine video clips, add music, or change styles
- Created and downloaded digital content (images, sounds, videos)
with Gallery storage
- Welcome Demo for a quick start as well as a Help application that
guides you through your phone's many features
- 65,536 colour-display, 176 x 208 pixels
- 5-way navigation key
- Bluetooth wireless technology and USB connectivity
- 8 MB internal dynamic memory (expandable to 64 MB)
- MMS, email, and instant messaging
- Advanced XHTML browser
- RealOne Player - download and play multimedia (video + music) files
(formats: 3GPP, RealMedia, MP3, AAC)
- Voice features: Voice dialing, Voice commands, Voice recorder, Integrated
handsfree speaker
- Polyphonic ringtones
- Email
- Text messaging
- Multimedia messaging: Combine image, video,
text and voice clip and send as MMS to compatible phone or PC
- Downloadable Java™ MIDP 2.0 applications
- Personalized user interface themes
- Nokia Xpress-on™ Style Packs
- Bluetooth wireless technology
- USB with Pop-Port™
- Symbian operating system 7.0s (Series 60 platform)
- Tri-band coverage (GSM 900/1800/1900 or GSM 850/1800/1900)
- Weight: 118g
- Size: 108.6 mm x 53 mm x 18.7 mm
- Talktime: up to 3 hours
- Battery standby: up to 10 days

This is simply a fantastic phone with all the features you need. It's
a phone, game console, mp3 player and good friend :) It has fantastic
sound and it's so cool to use mp3's as ringtones. Collect all the cool
realtones on the net and use www.mobstorage.com to upload it to the
phone for free. I have also watched complete movies on it :) The best
thing is the memory card of course. I have a 1gb card with over 200
mp3's stored on it :)

Great phone, excellent features but not impressed with layout of the
keypad and I would prefer the joystick type as on 6600. Camera quality
is excellent as is the zoom facility. Excellent display but sadly no
radio or headphone facility, along with a different type of hands free
to other models, a shame but an allround fantastic phone. Very easy
to use.

I simply bought this phone because I wanted a stylish looking camera
phone. I am not very technical and really looked for something that
is easy to get to grips with, but had the features there if I wanted
them. The Nokia 7610 is relatively easy to navigate your way around
and has so many features (that I do not use a lot), that I keep having
to re-read the instructions when I decide to use them! I love the way
the menu is laid out like a desktop in the 'grid view', is this now
a common feature of all new phones? I love the camera, nice clear pictures
although I have never owned a camera phone before so have nothing to
compare it with. Unfortunately though, when I first bought the phone,
I decided to try to experiment using my very limited knowledge and downloaded
a animated screensaver. The result was that the phone immediately locked
up and would not let me into the menu to try to clear it out. At first
I was told that this phone was not capable of accepting this type of
screensaver, but then was told that it was the phone that was at fault
and it was sent back to the manufacturer for repair (this was within
a week of buying the phone). My other general impressions of the phone
are: I find the keypad fine to use without any problems hitting the
keys. I am not too keen on the scroll key as it does not seem to respond
that quickly. I have found that the phone has locked up a couple of
times when I have tried to access the gallery and I have had to turn
it off and take out the battery to get it to work again. Agree with
others that the battery life does not seem to be that good. The signal
on this phone is much weaker than my old phone the nokia 3100. I changed
networks with this phone to t-mobile, but as I have said earlier, have
limited technical knowledge and am not sure if this is down to the phone
or the network. I am not sure if I would recommend this phone to anyone
like myself who does not fully understand the range of applications
and therefore does not get the full value from it, but generally it
is easy to use and I would say is good value for money.

Battery Power is good compare to k700. Still pix are da best but not

Contra: 1. Sound is MONO, the phone DOES NOT support standard Nokia
stereo headset, if you want to listen music on the phone DO NOT buy
this model - it is completely useless for this purpose. Also, do not
count on using favorite MP3 song as a ringing tone, the sound quality
is just awful. 2. No support for hot change of memory card - To change
the RS MMC card one need to switch off the phone, open the cover, remove
the battery,... 3. Sound recorder feels sometimes unreliable - starts
recording with some delay so you miss few first seconds 4. I am really
missing the touch screen for some Symbian applications - spreadsheet
app (real pain to make a spreadsheet without pointing device), recording
(extremely useful for taking notes, but one need to use keyboard to
name recorded clip - stylus and graffiti software would be much better
solution),... 5. Lack of support for synchronization tool for other
operating systems - Mac OS, Linux 6. No FM radio 7. No IR connection
Pro: ---- 1. Excellent design, feels awesome in the hand, also you get
used to the funny keyboard quickly 2. Really useful 1.3 Mpix camera
- makes daylight pictures comparable to some compact photo camera 3.
Very good display 4. Reliability 5. Tones of nice application and games
for Symbian Series 60 operating system available for fee or for free
6. Standard Nokia synchronization tool for Microsoft Outlook (with some
minor issues though) 7. Nice set of software in the package (recording,excellent
calendar, notes,todo,...) 8. Powerfull address book Actually, I was
thinking of giving 4 stars, but the SOUND IS AWFUL!!! so I just couldn't.

I brought this phone on contract but I sent it back almost straight
away I couldn't believe how poor the keypad is to use, the buttons are
hard, stiff and too small and very slippery i had to use my finger nails
which got quite painful after awhile As for the multimedia features
what a big con! The video recorder is very jerky, dark and slow its
just like watching a slide show, 7610 video was shockingly bad and i
mean shocking because the 6230 which i later purchased does a better
job and records smooth video so how come the video recorder is so bad
on the 7610? Why is the video recorder so jerky dull and slow on 7610
but much faster and brighter on 6230? The 7610 is meant to be a level
above the 6230 right?, wrong- not with video recording it isnt and not
with MP3 play back either as I later found out. The 7610 supports only
mono mp3 playback which means you cant even listen to your mp3s in true
stereo quality on the 7610 but you can on the 6230 and most other phones!
Also 7610 has no infrared, whats all that about? 6230 has infrared!
The phones meant to have full internet support but when i tried surfing
on it, it looked nothing like the internet your used to on a PC or laptop
and it was extreamly slow, besides if you wanted the phone for full
internet support it would be very expensive and slow and you could get
a ngage that has this feature and NGAGE QD now is only £79.99.
Infact i came to the conclusion that the 7610 is only better than the
6230 by 1 or 2 things it has a 1 megapixel camera which isnt that much
better than the 6230s VGA camera and ofcourse it has symbian support
so you can add different programs to your phone but lets be honest you
are very unlikely to do this as there are few if any useful symbian
software out there woth buying and its expensive and difficult to install.
Most people haven't got time to be downloading and installing SIS files
in 3 different locations on the phone just to get it up and running.
Oops 1 last thing did i mention the 7610 looks like a todlers toy?

After using this phone for 5 days now, i would say i am extremely happy
with its performance, but at the same time EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED with
the fact that there are no dual earphones for this set!!!! i mean, what
was nokia thinkin when they put a rs 20,000+ phone in the market with
expandable memory, an mp3 player, a video+audio recorder but no stereo
sound?? i can store all the mp3s in the world on a 1GB RSMMC, but then
what do i do with them? listen on one ear n go deaf in that ear? Apart
from this major dissapointment, everything else in the phone rocks,
specially the 1MP camera. Softwares like PhotoExpress n Snapshot and
Video Editor saved the day. I wish nokia is quick to bring stereo dual
earphones in the market. (CAN ANY1 PLZ HELP ME IN THIS ASPECT?) had
thr been stereo sound, i wud hv given this a 5 star rating. battery
life is average, not too good. BASICALLY, AS SOON AS THE W800i (SONY
ERICSSON) IS OUT, IM EXCHANGING IT WITH 7610!! I WUD LIKE IT IF OTHER
7610 USERS COMMENT ON MY RATINGS. THANK YOU.

Dam nice phone, great camera, display is crisp and batery Life aint
bad considering how much power that large display must draw. The menu
system is easy to navigate and a book worth of info in the help menu's
make this phone a sinch to learn how to use. The Key pad may look strange
but I found it easy enough to use and actually quite liked the feel
of it. As with most nokias the signal strength was excellent, as was
the bluetooth. I really reccomend this phone and only had one fault
with it. Every now and again whilst attempting to make a call the phone
would freeze and would require one to restart it before you could use
the phone again. this was highly annoying considering the phone is based
on the series 60 platform and took a good 40 seconds before you could
dial again. a small fault but annoying none the less go buy one, I am
very happy with mine

The 7610 is overall an excellent phone. Design wise, it is superb and
i know the keypad layout is different but it hasn't given me any problems.
It also has Zillions of features. Two major gripes though. Sound quality
is very poor and it doesn't have a volume controller on the phone itself.
Apart from that it's a classic phone and im know Nokia themselves think
this too because they have stopped producing this phone and it has been
dis-continued!! so to those of you who dont have this phone....ha ha!!

I have had my Nokia 7610 for two months now and I love it! Generally
speaking, the operating system (Symbian OS) is easy to handle and get
into. The funky keyboard didn't give me any problems when I texted.
The camera is brilliant, except when it gets dark, although the night
mode helps. My brother has a S700 and the camera in comparison is pants.
The only real let down is the mp3 player. There are no dual earphones
out (yet) for the 7610! :( And the sound is a bit tinny. Also, it could
do with some external sound control. Overall the great looks on this
phone hide some brilliant features eg. Phoning, camera, video and general
operating.Shame about the earphones.

We purcharsed this phone to get Bluetooth to connect our PDA's with

is totally unreliable. We bought 2, both were replaced within a month.
They both became faulty again 3 months later and have had to have firmware
upgrades and new parts. The keypad is a total pain as is the calendar.
The photos jump. While playing games it errors and throws you out. Lifeblog
would not work because of the firmware. I would not recommend this phone

This phone has all the modern features you could need or want... well
almost. The Nokia 7610 provides excellent pictures from the 1.3 mega
pixal camera and videos along with a variety of toys such as video editor,
for when you have far too much spare time. It also has a huge memory
so loads of pictures can be stored. BUT theres a few things which bring
it down. Its slow to open options such as messages, pictures and web.
The calander has few options and is primative for such a new phone.
Also Nokia informs me there is no headphones available for the phone
as the Realplayer is mono output, so everyone has to listen to your
MP3s when you want to. It boasts new extras like "positioning" and "Presence"
which frankly, knowbody uses anyway. So yes, the NOKIA 7610 is very
advanced phone but like NOKIA do so well, they have taken 2 steps forward
and 1 step back. I recommend this phone for all its clever feactures
but i wouldnt stay loyal to it. I intend to change my phone within the
next 3 months for a smaller, lighter model... with a decent calander
and headphones!!

I have had the phone for nearly 3months, it is a fantastic phone that
has everything a person needs in a phone, but there are some faults
i have found. the first is that the camera has a delay and so you miss
things if you take them quickly and if they are moving. the second is
that the video camera jumps. but the other features on the phone are
fantastic and i do suggest this phone to anybody considering it.

The phone don't hold to a single of it's promises. Take the camera for
instance it is low below a lot of the 640*480 cameras because the colors
aren't well reproduced. Another thing is the keyboard you will be irritated
from the first time you try to uswe is and it will get even worse after

i got the 7610 about a week ago and its simply amazing... the phone
features are simply beautiful...the looks are also stunning,the mega
pixel camera is famulous ...although the phone is amazing there are
still some negative points about the phone...at first the 7610 does
not have an IRDA port which is very important to connect with phones
and computers which do not have bluetooth technology...the second con
is that there are no direct volume controls on the cell phone.except
for these 2 things the phone is perfect.

I was sold this phone as I was looking to upgrade from the P800 to something
that ran symbian, was less of a brick and had a decent camera. The 76100
was what the salesman recommended. It's taken me a while to get back
into not using a stylus, but got back into keypads again. So what did
I get for the rather large sum of money I had to part with? I got something
that looked fantastic. It is smaller, lighter, more user friendly. It
does the job, if a bit more slowly than the P800. It looks great and
it's unusual design is a talking point. What I didn't get was a good
quality digital camera. On uploading my images I got a passable snap
on the computer screen. This is most definitely not a replacement for
anyones digital camera. The video is limited with regard to quality,
but I had no real expectations in this area. Bluetooth connectivity
to my HBH 65 headset is a joke. It keeps disconnecting and is so gruesome
to use, I have gone back to a wired headset when driving. One of the
most annoying aspects of the phone is that you cannot listen to any
quality music, because they do not seem to have a stereo headset that
works with this phone. I was told by my supplier that this phone had
no headset supplied with it. I have tried using a matching headset for
the 7210 and after that the 7600. They plugged in ok, but then came
back as non supported. Don't sell me a music player with no way to appreciate
the quality. When I got the Sony, I got so many accessories. The Nokia
7610 had no accessories supplied with it. Not even a hands free kit.
They really are the barebone packages of the mobile phone world. To
summarise, I got something that does a great job of being a mobile phone;
a poor job of being a PDA and is a disappointing multimedia device.
The one blessing is that it is Symbian and so I should be able to find
apps to do the things I want in the way that I want them. This phone
did not meet my expectations and I suspect that it is aimed at the sector
of the market that rates fashionable over usable. Looks like another
contract year of wishing I'd waited a bit longer before upgrading. that
Samsung D500 looks the biz.

Had this phone fora bout 6 weeks now,and its not bad. I was recommended
the phone by a sales person, based upon what i wanted. My previous phone
was a Son Ericsson P900 and I wanted something that was lot less complicated,but
still with some decent features, and lo and behold, the Nokia 7610 was
the answer. I like the way you can configure which button to have on
screen in the stand by mode, and once you install AppMan (www.symbianware.com
) you can add any programme to the Go To folder and tehn have this button
on screen, so its the 'favoutites' button. THe keypad does take some
getting used, although you should pick it up quickly. I found the number
3 button a littl eon teh small side, and much samller than the others,
so when texting or dialling, I always miss out the d/e/f letters of
the number 3! The other small gripe is the caller id / caller display
on incoming calls. THe pop up thumbnailis rather small ( although you
can get Full Screen Caller application ) but normally, it takes a few
rings for the phone to match the numbers thats ringign you to those
you have in your phone book, it doesn't bring it up straightwawy, it
just displays the number. Also had a small problem with teh Alarm function,
as the snooze option disappears. The only way to bring it back is to
re-boot the phone!Recently downloaded a few games as well, and also
there are some otehr applications out there to help you maximise teh
funtionality of your 7610. Apart from all that, its a pretty decent
phone, I can download all my POP3 emails, reply to them , text happily
enough, take decent photo's, download MP3 files and use them as ringtones,
and also sync it with my Outlook calendar on my pc so I can carry my
diary round with me. THe pc software ( Nokia PC Suite ) is a little
limited, but you can do most things with it ( transfer files, download
music / images ) . Not a bad phone at all.

Have to say, somewhat disappointed with this phone. Found it overly

either. Find that it takes so long to do things, everything has to be
loaded or downloaded first. It also doesnt keep up with text messaging
- I'm not that fast, yet I still have to wait for words to appear before
typing any more. Although I like the look of the keypad design, find
it slightly clumsy to use. Kinda disappointed at not having radio either,
considering i cant actually download MP3s!

I had a 7650 for just over 2 years and decided to get the 7610, taking
out a new contract so I could get it free. I wasn't prepared to fork
out £230 again, although I was very tempted to get the P900. Camera
is of very good quality. Although I think photos inside with a good
light look better than some taken ouside when I've had them printed
in Tesco. Movie Director is really good. MP3 is not as good as the K700i
(my brother has that phone), but it's kewl that you can use MP3s as
your ringtone. I just got a 512k memory card off Amazon for £40. Well
worth it! It's well handy connecting to a PC and just dragging the files
you want onto the phone. Bluetoothing them just gets annoying! You don't
get any games with it, well I didn't but I put the games from my 7650
onto it and you can d/l snake from the Nokia wap site and some other
bits from there. Theres just one thing that annoys me with wap, that
it doesn't always disconnect you and I end up having to switch the phone
off and on, losing about 3 battery bars in the process! Other than that,
it's been a great phone so far. The Krussel leather cases with the zip
are really good.

and a good STEREO audio output for its FM radio and MP3 player. On top
of that, the MP3 player has an equalizer where you can tweak the treble

Nokia have once again done what they do best -- Taken their winning
formula a-la the 7250, a formula that is known to work beautifully.....and
dropped it in favour of something new and risky.....which has totally
paid off! The operating system on the 7610 has loads more features than
their older phones, and is very different to use. Yet in true Nokia
style, it somehow all works -- They keypad is unusual but still feels
right, there are extra buttons but they all work in your favour, the
menu system has extra levels but it's still quick and easy to find things,
and so on... This phone has amazing features, looks good, feels great,
and just *works*. Nice one Nokia!

save them a fortune in firmware upgrades, if you ask me, nokia are going
downhill and fast start listening to your customers Niki and stop being
so damn arrogent. WAKE UP NOKIA! and stop charging top rate prices for

its easy to install software/games/apps onto the phones and they are

This is the first Nokia I have bought for some time and will also be

for a Sony Ericsson K700i. A few of the faults - bluetooth connectivity
erratic, even when the phone establishes a connection it only actually
allows connectivity 50% of the time. Voice dial recognition is appalling,
recognises the voice 1 in 50 when driving even when recorded when driving.
My old Ericcson recognises voice while driving virtually without fail.
Often the phone fails to connect time after time, only cured by switching
the phone off and on and waiting an age for it to be ready to use. I'll
let you know what my Ericsson K700i is like in comparison.

I have had the 7610 for a couple of weeks now and am still trying out
the multitude of features and functions, so this is just an initial
review. Up to now, I have been very disappointed with pics taken with
camera phones. When the new breed of 1mp phones became available, I
was naturally quite interested. But the main reason I got the 7610 at
this time was because my 12 month contract was coming to its end, and
the 7610 was available free with a new £22/month Anytime 100 Vodafone
contract (including half price rental for 3 months + free weekend calls
for 6). In effect, I received a free £350 phone for a contract which
costs quite a bit less than my expiring one! So I am experimenting for
nothing, and I also now have a 6100 as back-up as well! Personally,
I really like the look and feel of the 7610. Even though it is quite
a bit bigger and heavier than the 6100, I am getting used to it. I like
both versions - I think the white/silver version (mine) is ~classy~,
whilst the black/red is ~sexy~. When the replacement fascias come out,
I shall be buying the red/black and alternating! The key layout is unusual
but it doesn't take long to get used to it. Those who are used to phones
being ready to use almost as soon as they are switched on are in for
a little surprise. The 7610 is like a PC and takes a while to go through
its 'boot up' process. But once on, it works as quickly as everything
else. No complaints about reception either, more 'blobs' than the 6100
in my test areas. The loudspeaker function works well and with the phone
on a table or dashboard, people I call say they can hear me fine i.e.
you could use it hands free in a car. Battery life seems OK average
but I haven't used it over a long enough period to really comment. I
am generally very pleased with the phone. I's a good combination of
phone, camera and PDA. Photo quality is just ok, even at the 'high'
setting (1152x864). Sure, it's far better than most camera phones but
still some way behind your average 3mp digicam; I have to use 'Photoshop'
for enhancement. Video quality is acceptable and the length of 10 mins
is very good. Haven't tried the video editor yet. The phone may play
MP3 but sound quality is pretty atrocious, mono only and no jack for
headphones. Luckily, I do not need my phone to play music, or listen
to radio (which it doesn't have!). The included USB cable for connecting
the phone to a PC is very useful (I wouldn't have a camera phone without
one). Far easier/quicker downloading and uploading stuff, manipulating
files, doing memory back-ups, etc. I download the pics and videos and
email them, rather than use MMS. But be warned, the DKU2 cable driver
and Nokia PC Suite software for the 7610 only works with Windows XP
(SP1 minimum) or 2000. If you are running Win Me or older, forget it
- I have PCs running different Windows versions and I have tested this!
A very poor decision by Nokia, in my opinion. Lastly, the back cover
needs to be closed carefully - the locking tabs do not seem very positive
or secure; I have had the cover popped off a couple of times. Not really
on for a phone that costs this much but I've since bought a protective
case, so end of problem!
