It’s a 3G phone so we can use this with the new Red Mobile sim. Unfortunately, we can’t use the front camera for taking pictures. It is only designed for video calling.
The Nokia 5610′s camera comes with a 3.2-megapixel with Auto Focus and a dual LED flash. We can now take macro shots. We can’t use the flash as flashlight unlike other phones (ex. K750i). This phone has a built-in FM radio with RDS support, just so you know. We need to plug in the headset to make the radio work. The headset should have a 2.5mm jack socket. It is not the usual headset that we plug in anywhere. But dont worry, beloved Nokia included the 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack socket converter in the package.
We can browse the web using the pre-installed Opera Mini browser. There are also other pre-installed application to use like the World Clock, Widsets, Yahoo! Go, and etc. Pre-installed games are City Bloxx, Music Guess, Rally 3d, and Snake III.
