Nokia 6610i on Optus Yes 25 over 24 months.
$25 dollar plan at 48 cents per 30 secs with a 25 cent
flagfall.
Phone rating: 2 Stars out of 5.
It should have been a great phone - Nokia took a very
popular mid-range phone (the 6610) and updated it with an integrated
digital camera, voice commands and XHTML browser, whilst retaining everything
that was good about the 6610:
User-friendly keypad with 4-way scroll key
Slimline, lightweight phone with good battery life
Stereo FM radio
Triple band
Java games
Changeable x-press on covers
What went wrong? The problems started with the poor quality colour display
- perfectly adequate for a non-camera phone a couple of years ago, but
hopelessly inadequate for a camera
phone. Add to this the intermittent software and hardware faults that
were present in the 6610 - faults that Nokia failed to fix in the 6610i
- and increase the complexity of the device, thereby introducing more
glitches, and you have a recipe for disaster. Build quality also seems
to have gone down the pan with the 6610i. Read the consumer reviews
