Review Summary: I used to rate Nokias above the lot, but now...
Overall Score: 4/5 Overall score - 4Overall score - 4
Review: I have to disagree with the reviewer who said the phone is easily scratched, I have a colleague who has had the phone for almost 1 year now, keeps it in his trouser pocket with no leather case and when he showed me it the other week before I upgraded, I was surprised at just how unmarked the phone was, I had a Nokia 8310 last and kept the phone in my pocket, the light, cheep plastic (but original) case was scratched and creaked and moaned as you moved your hand around to press the keys, although still perfectly functional it didn't look great anymore, whereas my colleagues T610 looked almost new.
I have no problem seeing the screen during the day, night, shade... have you been to optician lately??

The only reason I gave it four stars and not 5 was that the predictive text messaging is not as quick to use as the Nokia's, but now that I'm getting used to it I'm actually starting to like it (a bit) but I'm sure it's a familiarity thing it is not worth a full star taken away from rating but I can't give 4 and 3/4. It has frustrated me enought though to think it's not worth 5 stars. Battery life not the best either, but, hey I go to bed once every 24 hrs, it can charge then... beside the bed if you use it as an alarm.

That shouldn't put you off though, think of the positive;

great sound,

build quality (light years better than Nokia),

resolution (ditto),

bluetooth (if you want that from Nokia, even on a contract you have to pay about £100 for 6600, £130 for an N Gage (what adult would want that?) or put up with an old monochrome, monotonal, housebrick of a 6310),

Oh and there's that build quality (that's worth a mention again)

Great phone in my opinion. Nokia, you need to get your act together!
