Nokia 7610 - Reader Review


nokia_7610.jpgChris from Greensites has posted a reader review of the Nokia 7610 Camera phone in our comments section. We thought it deserved more attention than being buried away back there - here is what he had to say:

'This is a truly fantastic phone ! The megapixel camera takes great shots, though is a markable difference in quality between outdoor and indoor shots. This is the first symbian phone I've had - and it's amazing what this OS can do. If the phone doesn't have a function you want, just download and install it.

TIp: Retrogamers, check out EMAME, MAME emulator for series 60 symbian phones. It also does a megadrive, snes, amiga, and c64 emulator. With more onboard memory than previous S60 Nokia phones, it deals with apps much better and doesn't seem to suffer from crashing at all, even when running 'untrusted' 3rd party apps.

Battery life seems pretty decent, however with a phone liek this you tend to play with it all the time just mucking around :) so it's easy to run it down in 2-3 days if you're always playing vids, games, mp3, and taking pictures. Otherwise with 'normal' use I get around 4-5 days battery. not bad considering the battery is so small.

It's compact and very comfy in the hand, way less of a mini-brick that is the 6600, it's predecessor. USB connectivity is great "about bloody time" , so you can browse / upload / download in windows explorer like app, and install your symbian java apps easily. PS - you need XP and service pack 1 installed or you wont get the cable working at all. Even then, occaisonally actually connecting the phone seems to be a hit and miss affair of disconnecting/reconnecting. Maybe I got too much usb hanging off my laptop I dunno, but sometimes it can get a little frustrating.

Looks great too, though I thought the white one is a bit girly and got the black/red. :)

I have some pics of MAME in action on the 7610, and some real-world samples of the camera in action, if you'd like a look drop me an email and I'll be happy to send.

You will definitely be extremely chuffed with this phone. I thnk it's the most killer piece of tech I ever owned. Worth it's fairly high price tag. Who needs to eat when you can play hand-held Galaxians.'
