Choosing a mobile phone

Every person strives to acquire the latest gadget development. This indicates that at present humanity is strongly dependent on technology. However, contrary to the predictions, the old mobile phones did not come out completely out of use. They can now be found in the hands of users. Typically, this choice affects not one reason. First of all, modern smartphones can not be considered reliable, since even the most expensive ones can not boast of a long battery life. And, for example, Nokia 2610 does not need to recharge for at least 7 days.

Simple mobile phones are able to perform a fairly limited list of tasks. It consists only of communication opportunities. It is about SMS-messages (receiving / sending) and calls. Also, it is not superfluous to note that such devices are of good quality and durability.

Design Features

The first thing that catches your eye when you look at this mobile phone is its compactness. Due to the optimal size, all users without exception say that the device is quite comfortable in the hand. To use it is comfortable. As for the weight, the device can be safely worn not only in your purse, but also in the pockets of your trousers or shirt.

Externally, the Nokia 2610 looks pretty sophisticated. However, at present its design can be called retro style. In all the features of the body is seen versatility, thanks to which the gadget will be able to not only a girl, but also a young man. In the age category of buyers there are also no restrictions. The design is uniquely chosen by the manufacturer optimally. The restraint and laconism are clearly seen. The geometry of the forms is perfectly combined and completely merges into the overall concept.

The designers used accentuation. In this role, the frame that surrounds the screen is presented. To decorate it, the color is dark (black). In order to avoid rudeness and cumbersomeness, the manufacturer preferred a slightly arcuate shape for the faces and corners. The whole design is made up of inserts that are used for contrast. A kind of marketing move that attracted the attention of customers. On the shelves at the time of sales were presented three color solutions: black (classic) and two combined - gray-violet and silver-graphite.

Keyboard

The Finnish mobile phone is controlled via a keypad. It is made of plastic. It is two blocks. The first one is soft-keys. Their number (4) and location are standard. Four-way joystick. The central button allows you to enter the menu. The arrows are located on the chrome rim. They can be programmed to quickly access any function, for example, select ringtones for a call or change the alarm time.

The keys of the digital block have a traditional rectangular shape. Their sizes are standard. Location - tightly adjacent to each other. There is a backlight that well distinguishes all the signs applied to the buttons. In the opinion of most owners, there are no remarks to the operation of the keyboard. The key stroke is soft, pressing lightly, they work quickly without false press.

Connectors

In order to be able to fully use the device Nokia 2610, the developers have provided the presence of important connectors. The first one is for connecting the charger. His model is Nokia ACP-7. Also there is the possibility of using a road memory. A great advantage is the audio connector. The socket has a standard type - "mini-jack". Used to connect the headset. However, buyers should know that the headphones are not included in the kit, so you will have to purchase them separately.

On the case you can see the port for connecting the cable that connects the phone to the PC. This method is used during data transfer. There is also a special connector, but it is oriented only to the engineering cord. Typically, this method of connection is only needed to change the firmware of the device.

Display

The small size of the display does not surprise anyone, when it comes to a button phone. Especially if the device was produced ten years ago. In defense of this model, we say that at the time smartphones with large touch screens were simply not produced.

With what help is displayed the graphical information in the Finnish phone with the index 2610? The display is produced using an outdated technology based on the passive matrix STN. The resolution of the image is critically small - only 128 × 128 px. A feature of the screen is low energy consumption and low cost.

Talking about the clarity of the image and the absence of granularity will at least be incorrect. The matrix can only reproduce 65,000 colors, which indicates a low color reproduction. On the street, it is almost impossible to read the information, since when the sunlight hits directly the screen is very bright.

Battery information

Autonomous operation of the Nokia 2610 is carried out using a removable battery (model - BL-5C). It is based on lithium-ion technology. Capacity can be safely considered large, since its volume is 970 mAh. In standby mode, the phone does not need to be charged for about 15 days. The manufacturer in the instruction indicates that when talking with the subscriber the battery will be discharged after 3 hours.

Given that the type of battery is removable, if the phone breaks down or fails, it can be removed and replaced with a new one. To do this, you need to open the back cover lock. After a barely audible click, the panel can be removed. Underneath it is a battery in a special niche with grooves.

Menu

In the Nokia 2610, the menu is typical, as for the device running on the Series 40 2nd Edition platform. It is displayed as a 3 * 3 icon. The menu consists of their standard set of options. These include the following elements:

• Address Book - in the memory of one record you can save up to five numbers.

• Calls - the menu in the phone that contains information about incoming, missed and outgoing calls. Also here you can see their duration.
• Settings - it manages all available functions (melodies, themes, etc.).

Of course, there were some menu items such as "Applications", "Gallery", "Organizer".
