Sold my 6500 slide cause it kept resetting to default theme & tunes during the day. This seems to be a common problem with the 6500 slide.
Had my 5610 a week now, at first it would not reconise my memory card but now i have changed it for a sandisk make it works fine. The only problem i have had to date is that when the phone is switched off & turned back on it goes back all the default settings, i have now just left on silent when going to bed & its works great.
I think the 6500 slide is a great quality mob with the stainless steel cover but if it keeps having problems then theres not much point with it really. This 5610 has the same features but i think it looks cheaper overall but with less problems its worth going for this one.
overall so far is 9/10

As it is a clone from 6500 Slide, maybe if you use the TV out cable of the 6500 Slide if will have TV out even if Nokia says no.
Could someone try this one ?

To the CEO of Nokia,please that Nokia is not about connecting people but disconnecting people,with the poor service that I recieved from your service department for nokia 5610!

gp aravindan,
I experience similar cracking sounds at times. Can be really annoying sometimes. It's certainly not due to the song quality because I keep getting it for different songs. I hope this can resolved through a firmware update

To Patrick - The obvious setting would be high?? Not sure why you dont think the camera is good - I've found it to be excellent.

To GECKO - The centre button on the D-pad will not launch the music player, nor will it automatically play the last song UNLESS you have the music player open already. Otherwise it functions normally, and will open the menu from standby mode. The 5310 and 5610 SHOULD have the same sound chip so technically should sound the same. I have found the bass to be good, so are you using the standard headset? As has been reported many times, its not of good quality so use another make for much improved sound.
To Crouchz - if you want the full specs for the phone, just go to the Nokia site. As for its functions, why not read the rest of this forum!
As for macro focus, it happens automatically.
To N.M.H. - Technically the 5610 and 6500 slide are based on the same phone, but the 6500 has a metal casing and the 5610 a mostly plastic one. The 5610 is more music orientated so has the slider function to launch the player, the 6500 doesn't. The 6500 has tv out, the 5610 doesn't. The cameras are the same except the 6500 has a better quality lens. They will almost certainly appeal to different people but to ask which is better overall is an impossible question to answer - it's down to personal preference.
And you ask if the music quality really is better than Walkman phones? - Yes! I don't know how to stress this any more, as it's been said many, many times before. But the only way you will find out is to try one.

please all you 5610-owners answer the questioners.
temme if it can support tv-out if we get he 2.5 mm tv-out cable, and also can anyone compare it with the nokia 6500 slide and tell which one is better OVERALL.
1 thing more, most people are sayin the sound quality exceeds that of the Walkman phones, really? is this so? and is the bass enough, more than enough or poor?

I am an ardent fan of Nokia, as a brand. For my employer, I develop application on the S60 platform. I bought this phone recently, found it to be good.
1. Good Camera, with AF. No macroshot capability[its listed as a feature in nokia website].
2. I paid INR 13600, Found it to be good for a phone with a 3.2MP cam n came with a 512MB card.
3. The slider, is basically a fancy toy. Nothing much is there to be done with that, it is used to slide between main screen, radio and music player. Rather than the slider, the sliding interface is appealing.
4. Music player, sound quality etc are awesome [i need not speak much abt it, rt? its an Xpressmusc fone!] But only one speaker. Also, I found the loudspeaker to be not so loud in calls[may be some netwrk trble]
the rest i will write aftr i come back from lunch.
Thanx. :-)

I'd like to clarify my earlier post. In the 5310, the dedicated play/pause key at the side will launch the last played track in standby mode. In the 5610, since the center selection key is a play/pause key, does it function the same as 5310 in standby mode? Thanks!

Would appreciate it if someone can help answer this. The center selection key within the D-pad has a play/pause imprint. Does this launch the music player in standby mode? If so, can it be changed to launch the main menu instead? I am absolutely very used to using the center key to launch the menu. Also, I have used the 5310 for about a month before, and i found the sound quality very clear but a bit lacking in bass (compared to my N81), not in the solid booming bass sense, but like rather flat. Can any one comment on the bass quality on the 5610? Thanks!

To Lester:
Question 1 - I've answered this on at least 2 occasions before - it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack in the phone but the adaptor does.
Question 2 - I must have answered this more than 5 times - no you can't!!! There is an excellent 3.2MP camera on the back. Why would you want to use a vga quality front camera to take pictures??
Please guys, lets make this clear once and for all. THE FRONT CAMERA IS JUST FOR VIDEO CALLS!
To gp aravindan - When you say blots, Im assuming you mean interference? I haven't experienced any such thing in my phone. I suggest you exchange yours for another model.
