6610i launched today!

The Nokia 6610i phone: Fully MMS-enabled companion for work and leisure April 19, 2004 Today Nokia introduced the new Nokia 6610i mobile phone, featuring an integrated camera, complete MMS functionality and an FM radio. The Nokia 6610i triband mobile phone (GSM 900/1800/1900) offers a classic design, color screen and a solid set of features including Java(TM) technology, an XHTML browser and SyncML. Comfortably styled in a familiar design, the Nokia 6610i is estimated to begin shipping in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia in the second quarter of 2004. The unsubsidized, untaxed retail price for the Nokia 6610i is expected to be around ˆ250. "Today's professionals require a reliable mobile phone for both their private and work life. The Nokia 6610i combines up-to-date technologies and MMS capability with a classic design, making it an ideal companion throughout the day," says Aage Snorgaard, Vice President, Broad Appeal Business Line, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "While technologies such as Java and SyncML help keep up with work life demands, the integrated camera allows consumers to share personal impressions with others on the spot. The Nokia 6610i phone bridges professional and private usage in a new way." The integrated CIF camera in the Nokia 6610i phone is optimized for color screens (128 x 128 pixel display) of smaller handsets. With imaging and MMS functionality, users can send and receive multimedia messages to other compatible MMS-enabled phones. It also permits users to edit images and to attach images to contact information. The integrated XHTML browser included on the Nokia 6610i provides an online experience with enhanced colors and graphics. Java technology allows users to download personalized third party applications such as TimeOut City Guides and Cosmopolite Business Guides for facts about countries, and a Financial Times news application for keeping up with the latest business news*. These applications and more are all available for the Nokia 6610i from www.nokia.com/shop. SyncML support enables data from the owner's compatible calendar, address book and to-do lists to be synchronized over the air, making it possible to keep up to date while on the move. Polyphonic ringtones and an integrated stereo FM radio offer a high-quality sound experience, while an integrated handsfree speaker enables impromptu meetings while being away from the office. The Nokia 6610i also supports OMA Digital Rights Management version 1.0. Weighing 87 grams, the Nokia 6610i has a talk time of up to 3,5 hours and a standby time of up to 18 days. The available colors for the standard sales packages will be grey, black and dark blue in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. In Asian markets the Nokia 6610i will be available in grey and dark blue. The Nokia 6610i phone is compatible with several enhancements such as the recently introduced Nokia Headrest Handsfree BHF-3, which can be mounted on the headrest bars of a car's front seat. The Nokia Headrest Handsfree is a convenient basic headrest handsfree with built-in microphone, speaker and detachable headrest unit.

But i wouldn't mind if they made a 6230i with symbian :P __________________ Yes, you're right. They will sell a lot of this stuff. Very good marketing... __________________ the differences are: the 6610i is a little big thicker and havier (87g vs 84g) Offcourse a camera CIF Xhtml Wallet feature and voice commands Polyphonic ringing tones in games Animated Menu's GoTo Menu Grid Menu and Sync ML WIM wireless Identify Module 3 - 3.5 h call time and 8 - 18 days standby __________________ Don't forget the bigger memory of 4 MB! MR __________________ any pics?? __________________ __________________ haha good one nokia. the only thing better then a T610/T630 is that it has 4Mb and a radio. but the T610/T630 or so much better on other aspects. and by the time this one gets out the price of the Txxx phones will be lower __________________ i wonder ppl, who had just purchase the n6610 in less than 2 mths, will angry or not? __________________ hahahahahaah MR __________________ yes they well be and its there good right to be. nokia has done this before and other brands 2. i personally don't like this idea at all __________________ This will undoubtedly be more expensive than a regular 6610, so either the price of a normal 6610 will drop and this one will be priced at current 6610 prices, or this 6610i will be more expensive. I wouldn't recommend that though, as indeed this phone isn't very high end or up-to-date. __________________ Seems to be an 3200 with another cover? It's inexpensive for Nokia to bring out an candy bar with 128x128 4096 color STN screen, CIF camera and radio, because there are already extisting models with the same features To bad, 4096k screens are outdated, and why use CIF if there is VGA. Ringtones are not OK at all @ Nokia, if I might say about the 3200 I have in my hands for a review. Choose the SE T610 or something, same CIF camera (perhaps a little better) but with a far better screen, menu and connectivity. And it's cheaper __________________ this is the one we've been waiting for orange, keep counting info i have tells me this is a desperation act by nokia to fill the mid sector, it was not originall planned. its a 7250i with different cover __________________ Dcell i know of at least 2 updates of 6230 (both smaller and nicer looking, otherwise exact same). sorry guys! __________________ I'm still waiting for 8210i. really, dont you think 8210 case/size/buttons with colour tft and features would make the best phone ever? I guess its already known their next gen 3gs will have rectangle screen again. i think 8210 had best phone design of all phones overall, body wise, and if they keep the current protos for 8xxx they will make current moto/nec handsets look REALLY bad. __________________ btw 8210i was joke, i dont mean it will release. heh, no way. __________________ can 6610i record sound or record from radio? __________________ Nope not from the radio! MR __________________ there not much of attraction of this model... __________________ typical nokia marketing strategy for middle class phones. just change the cover give it a new name and try to sell a few more of the same old phone to naive customers. just as they re-marketed 7210 as 6610 a few years ago now they are re-marketing 7250i as 6610i. the only upside to this is the fact that 6610i has a better looking cover than 7250i but still not so good for the reputation of the company. __________________ vulture i think it is middle-low class phones.
