Reviews:
Nokia's new 7610 smart phone set the wireless world abuzz with word of its megapixel camera, its Bluetooth support, and its slick Symbian operating system. But once we got our hands on the eye-catching handset, the 7610 felt a bit big and heavy. And while the megapixel camera took sharp shots compared to those of other camera phones, the weak camera options were a letdown. We were also disappointed by the lack of an infrared port, the awkward keypad layout, and the so-so customization options. At $500, the Nokia 7610 is an expensive device, although the price will probably drop once carriers are announced.The candy bar-style Nokia 7610 is certainly a looker. The shiny black handset boasts alternating smooth and sharp corners set off by a slick silver outline that encompasses the outer, mirrored keys. Flip the phone around and you'll find a funky thatched design surrounding the 3.7mm camera lens, along with a 2-inch mirrored surface shaped like a glass shard. It's a stylish design, but we bemoaned the lack of a self-portrait mirror.
The 7610 fit easily in our hand, with our thumb resting comfortably on the curved upper-right corner of the device (lefties' thumbs will be stuck with the sharper upper-left corner). While the 7610 doesn't seem as big, it's only slightly smaller than the bloated-looking Nokia 6600. Measuring 4.3 by 2.1 by 0.7 inches and weighing 3.8 ounces, the phone is a bit heavy and felt pretty big in our jeans pocket.

While the 7610's keypad sure looks cool, it takes a little getting used to. The keys themselves are laid out in a curved, arcing design, which means that the row for the 1, 2, and 3 keys is considerably smaller than the row for 7, 8, and 9. We liked the feel of the small, five-way navigational keypad, and the dedicated Edit key (which provides one-touch access to the Symbols menu and the Predictive Text modes) is a nice touch. The 7610's on/off button sits on the top of the phone, per Nokia tradition, but the sides of the phone are bare, offering no dedicated volume or camera controls. Whoops. Included in the 7610's box are a relatively small AC adapter, an earbud-style headset (mono only), a USB data cable and sync software, a felt carrying case, and an adapter for the phone's 64MB, reduced-size MMC card, which lives behind the phone's lithium-ion battery--another irksome Nokia tradition. Why Nokia continues to hide memory cards behind the battery rather than in an accessible slot on the side of the phone is a mystery to us.The Nokia 7610 comes with an impressive set of features, including an address book that stores as many contacts as will fit in the 8MB of internal shared memory. You also get ring-tone and picture ID, text and multimedia messaging, wireless POP/IMAP e-mail access, six-way conference calling, a speakerphone (which can be switched on during--but not before--a call), 18 polyphonic ring tones, 6 True Tunes, a calendar, a to-do list, a notepad, a unit converter, an alarm clock, a vibrate mode, a WAP 2.0 wireless Web browser, voice dialing and commands, voice memos, and a digital wallet for storing passwords and credit card numbers. The phone offers Bluetooth and USB-cable support for wireless headsets, data transfers, and contact syncing, but there's no infrared port--a curious omission.
