Exterior
Nokia box, Nokia accessories. Only in a minimal quantity as we only get a charger and a stereo headset with 3610, there is no data cable or memory card. But here we have the handset itself, which might be a result of a crossover between 6101 and 2650 (regarding the design). It’s a longish phone, it’s long even when closed and we can foresee in the case of a clamshell that we are to face something even longer when we open it.
It’s not beauty while it’s closed, but it’s not that bad. It’s gray, but somehow it’s like an indefinable gray, it made me remember the color of a Trabant, which is also called “dolphin gray”. It’s of course low-quality plastic, a bit shiny, a bit slippery, but it’s still pleasant to keep in the hand. There is a longish external screen on the cover with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. We usually won’t see anything on this, only if there is an event. After something takes place there is a large analogue clock trying to spice up the design, but we have seen such a thing a million times before. Even from Nokia.
Above the display there is a camera with a small gap below it for the external speaker. On the left we can see the volume control keys and the camera’s hotkey above them: pressing this we can take a self-portrait, as in this case the camera starts up even if the phone is closed and the external screen will be the viewfinder. In the bottom left corner we can find a microUSB connector. There is nothing on the right besides two small, round holes, the top one is for the headset, the bottom one for the charger.
When opening the phone we get to see a phone with the size of a huge frying pan. The designers just didn’t know what to do with such a large area, so they have made longish buttons, hence the disproportionate layout. It’s even ugly and moreover our finger has to do extremely long paths when typing an SMS. The cover has no play; that would be really lame, as the whole thing opens up until 160 degrees like on 2650, as the top and bottom rims of the case meet. This looks stupid mostly from the back, since the completely flat back makes the whole thing look even longer.
