Storage

The Nokia 7610's internal capacity can store up to 500 contacts, 500 Calendar entries, and 30 To-Do entries, while its 8 MBs of internal memory is shared among other multimedia and messages. For smaller file sized features such as pictures, ring tones, messaging or games, the 7610 has more than enough storage space.

However, if users wish to utilize the full capacity of the Symbian OS and built-in digital camera, external storage is needed. And as mentioned earlier, the 7610 comes supplied with a 64 MB RS-MMC expansion card pre-installed with additional software.

Connectivity

Multimedia can be downloaded, and contacts and calendars can be synchronized, through Bluetooth or data cable. While photos and videos taken with the 7610 can be uploaded to a PC by those same means.

By using the Nokia 7610's Bluetooth, users can connect to peripheral devices at a range of up to 10 meters. With Bluetooth, consumers can link without cables to headsets, car handsfree equipment, computers, printers, PDAs, digital cameras, and more.

For fast synchronization, the Nokia 7610 supports all the latest PAN (Personal Area Network) and OTA (Over-The-Air) technologies for synchronization. For synchronizing between the 7610 and a PC, the phone is also SyncML compatible.

SyncML is the common language for synchronizing all devices and applications over any network. With SyncML any personal information, such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contact information and other relevant data, will be consistent, accessible, and up to date, no matter where the information is stored.

Conclusion

The Nokia 7610, along with the Sony Ericsson S700, are the first megapixel cameras to hit the market. And with consumer's demands for phones and cameras, the popularity is sure to be large.

With the 7610, Nokia has undoubtedly focused its attention on imaging features. Providing a 1 megapixel camera, video recording of up to 10 minutes, and preinstalled Movie Director video editing software.

However, the Nokia 7610 seems to be lacking in audio. While accessories on other manufacturers' phones, consumers have come to know Nokia for their built-in FM radios. And we were just as surprised none was included. In fact, since the 7610 only supports mono audio output, many features such as MP3 players, and radios aren't possible.

But the 7610 isn't just about imaging. Being a Series 60 device built on the Symbian 7.0s OS; the 7610 contains a robust line of applications and games that are already developed for the platforms.

Adding to that strong messaging features, a brilliant 65K TFT screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and enough supplied memory to utilize all the wonderful features, makes the 7610 a well-rounded phone with very few shortcomings.
