I love my mobile phones. I usually upgrade my mobile to a new model every 6 months. I have had previous version of Nokia phones such as the 3210, 3310, 3315, 5210 and this is the best by far. I love colour mobile phones. I bought a Panasonic GD68 not long after they came out in Australia because it was one of the first cheap colour mobiles. I regretted every day of having it.
The main things I like about the 6610 are the fact that it has the same type of navigation of the previous models so that you are familiar with the phone straight away. A few things are in different places but are easy to find. I like the whole style. I love small phones and this sits in your pocket quite easily without bulging out. The buttons are easy to press and in a logical layout. The one gripe I would have to say about the keypad though is that the direction pad can be alittle hard to get used to but you don't use the left and right all that much.
The colour screen is great. Pictures are displayed quite clearly with little distortion and being 8 bit colour it is quite detailed. The polyphonic ringtones are good but can sound a little distorted if you play them too loud (depends on the ringtone though). The Java side of things is very interesting. I have d/l a lot of games for it and tried them.; I would hvae to say that an extra few hundread kb of memory would have helped those who like to hvae a lot on their phone though.
One of the best things I would have to say abou the phones standard features is the fact that, like other 6xxxx series phones you can store multiple details under one name in the phone book. I have a lot of ppl who have multiple numbers and I like the fact that you can store these details under one entry rather than Name_Mobile Name_Home etc.
Overall I think this phone would make a great first buy in the colour mobile world. At the moment you can find the phone as cheap as Aus$499 which is a great price.

I never really liked nokias before this phone, I always went for something different, I like the styling of this nokia, I upgraded from my 8210 to this, so size was practically the same ansyway.
the things that interested me were
- the radio, which sounds great, crystal clear thru the headphones, but not so good in poor signal areas
- the polyphonic ringtones, the phone has a passive sounder on the rear that really helps the bass response, the ringtones sounded great, until I heared a samsung A800 go, now I think they're average, loud, but can be distorted and unpleasant.
- the colour screen, OK, but thats it, I've seen a fair few other phones on the go, the screan on this smears badly, flickers too, some games are totally unplayable due to the smudging on the screen. comparing the screen to other phones, for games, i'd say it gets a 3/10, text, etc is pretty good, 8/10, a lot of the pther phones are visibly blocky, this one is quite smooth and clear
- the games available, this phone has 100's of games available for it, fantastic, 10/10, more than any other phone
- the wap access, really fast, impressivley so on GRPS, BUT, you can't scale the fonts!, for text messages, you can have a really small font so you can display a WHOLE message on screen at one time. the WAP on this phone uses HUGE characters, meaning that most sites have the data split accross a large number of pages, you get bored trying to navigate thru sites, no excuses nokia, the A800 can scale the fonts, so could my SL45i, and a couple of others showed way more info than the 6610 does
overall, the phone is average, thats all. I got one cheap, so I'm happy, but it wont be long before i'll be upgrading to something better
out of 10, it gets a 7, and thats only because everyone is writing software for it, something I love playing with!
