It will be too long to attach all pictures and text here so I'll post just the conclusion and you can follow the link for the full review.

Expect the Samsung SGH-426 review the beginning of next week.

Concslusion:

I am very pleased with Nokia 6610. The battery life is excellent - around 3-4 days normal use. It has most features the average user wants - Java, WAP, polyphonic, loudspeaker. It is very well built with classic design. The sound quality and RF performance are excellent. Overall the phone is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Pros
Tri-band
Classic design
Great battery life
Only 3oz (84g)
Good organizer
PC Syncrhorization via PC Suite

Cons
Lacks voice-dialing / voice-memo
Better screen is desired
A little more memory would have been great

I was all set to purchase this phone and add T-Mobile service to my Verizon service for when I go to Europe on business trips. Your review mentioned it had no voice dialing capabilities, something I thought it did. (How did I miss the lack of voice dialing on Phonescoop)? Unfortunately, I use voice dialing extensively and the lack of this feature kills the phone for me. Now I'm sad. I really liked this phone otherwise. Thanks for the review. You saved me a major disappointment.

didn't you noticed a background hiss noise in your 6610? Mine was pretty bad.

The hiss is most likely because of the speakerphone feature... My friend's Nextel i730s (Motorola - He has two of them) hiss like that too.

Almost every speakerphone-compatible phone I've played with has a hiss in the earpiece.

I've found that turning the volume down to 2-3 bars fixes the problem and it is still quite easy to hear.

I have now a 6610 with no hiss and I have owned and used Siemens phones with speakerphone and excellent sound quality and no hiss
