5610D as the tag line rightly says.. go for this Junk only if you think u have a lots of money and you don’t care which Junk are you buying..

I have bought this piece of junk from Subhiksha
who claims to be the largest retailer who sells every piece of such junk at cheapest price..

 
I had got this mobile for 12300 on 14 th of Feb.. i dint use this junk for the 1st 5 days as i was a little busy to transfer the contacts or may be God wanted me to sleep well for those 5 days i guess!!!

The Major problem with this phone is rebooting..

The phone looks really good n tempts any one to buy..The initial 2 days went of really good as didnt use it much..But after the 3rd day it strtd showing its originality..
I was on fone for almost 15-20 minutes and the other person was talking..all of a sudden the phone rebooted itself..By rebooting i mean it went completely blank..no signs of booting back..then i had to press the power button to turn it on..i tot it was a problem thats not too serious.unfortunately i was wrong,the trouble was too serious.I later listened to music for almost 40 minutes and the same thing happened again..

I just ignored it as i was out of station and couldnt reach a Nokia care centre near by for the next 10 days..the problem did get very serious and irritating when the phone started rebooting while i was on call..sometimes it reboots or just switches off after 15 minutes or at the max 25 minutes..if you listen to music..it stands for 40-50 minutes.

I took it to Subhiksha first befor taking it to Nokia care centre immediately after getting back to Chennai only to learn that this mobile has many known issues and that I shouldn’t contact them anymore for any such problems as they only SELL THE PRODUCT AT CHEAPEST PRICE and DONT EVER CARE what happens to the product after they SELL it..

I visited the near by Nokia care  who then guided me to the main branch.I had to wait for 2 hours before i could be attended by an agent.

The Nokia Care people are so careless  who just told me that this is a known issue with all the phones of this model and this would just need a firmware upgrade or most commonly known as Software upgardation.I had got my phone after 5 days.The firmware upgradation did reduce the rebooting of the phone from say 10 times to 4 times but not completely .

Battery Life: battery life is something i consider most important in any cell phone we use..I would rate 1 out of 5 in this aspect..After the firmware upgradation it worked well and it lasts for around 1.5 days if the usage is around 2 hours of Talktime and about 2 hours of music a day with a few messages..

Built: I would rate it 1.5 out of 5..the slider is always a risk and could come out fast if your usage is more..i dont often use the slider key as i have heard horror stories of people describing about the Nokia care when the slider goes off..

Music : Not really great considering it is a music phone as SE is far better than it..

CAUTION: I would suggest any one who is PLANNING TO buy this product not to go for it and its a waste of money as said earlier..and if you STILL dare to do that .....am spell bound..

ALL THE BEST FOR THE NEW BUYERS AND CONGRATS FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT IT!!!!!


Pros:
NOTHING MUCH I WOULD SAY
Cons:
BATTERY LIFE,SLIDER,SOFTWARE,BUILT,
