While there was no concept of artificial intelligence on the agenda yet, while everything about smartphones was just a dream, Nokia was the king of the world, so to speak. All innovations in the phone market were first made by Nokia, followed by brands such as Samsung, Ericsson, LG. In general, it was the Nokia brand that produced the fastest model, had the most designs, and produced a device for every pocket. Naturally, when it comes to innovation, Nokia came up with it. In such a time, the Nokia 7610 came to the fore with a very ambitious case structure.
The Nokia 7610, which is presented in a unique style and style with a design that symmetry patients do not like, and has a very sporty and powerful visual with 3 different internal color options, was not bad in terms of features (according to its period). For example, let’s take a look at the features of this distinguished model, which attracts a lot of attention with its 10-minute video recording feature and 8 MB internal memory. Let it be a sweet nostalgia journey for those who remember, and a technology discovery for our friends who see it for the first time. If you are ready, let’s start exploring the features of the Nokia 7610.
Let’s remember the legend first: When did the Nokia 7610 come out?
If you remember, the iPhone 1, the first smart device of the Apple family, was introduced in 2007. Let’s go back exactly 3 years from this promotion and come to the date of the device’s release, March 2004. Nokia has really highlighted its work on size and thickness with this model. The 7610, which appeared as a continuation of the 7650 model, came with 2 different themes in color. The model, which came with a radical change in design, was described as a medium-large and heavy phone.
Compared to the Siemens SX1, which was one of the competing devices at that time (in terms of dimensions), it looked thinner. Visually, we can say that people gave more importance to the small size of the phone. One of the two different color variations is a light tone and the other is a dark tone. It was said that it felt thin because it had a different plain appearance in a lighter tone.
The back of the device is a rectangular structure with rounded edges. In this way, it can be held comfortably in the hand. Already at that time, all phones were used with one hand and this offered a very practical use. In terms of form, almost every phone appeared in the same structure. You could also access different options by changing the covers. Thanks to its 900 mAh battery, you could talk for 180 minutes. Of course, these are factory data. We used to drain the battery very quickly by playing games or videos.
Unforgettable Nokia java games took their place in the 7610:
Everyone certainly has good reviews about the Nokia classic. At least they have some very well-remembered games. Java games, on the other hand, have a considerable following among these legends. There was a lot of choice when it comes to Nokia 7610 games. Since the structure of the device was sporty, it offered a strong visual and provided the same stability in games. You could play many games on the device that created the feeling of playing games with a typical gameboy.
Many games such as Lightning Dance of Passion for Fighting, Bounce Tales, Diamond Rush 3, Pro Evolution Soccer, Hill Climb Racing, 3D Bio-Soldiers were legendary for the Nokia 7610. Of course, since there are companies that are constantly developing games for java, you could download games over a 2G internet connection, or if there is a computer manufacturer near you (which must be someone who understands these things), you could download them immediately. Games that nostalgia game lovers can still find and play, were played for hours with this device.
It was like the marginal smartphone of its time:
Displaying a rebellious stance both with its design and ease of use, the Nokia 7610 was used almost like a smart phone of its time. It was exciting that you could even use the mp3 player feature by attaching extra devices, from the fact that its memory supports a 64 MB memory card. Although it did not attract the attention of most people in terms of design, it was always in the hands of our young friends. A carrying wristband was also included in the box of this device. In this way, most users would have the phone attached to the wrist at the same time. It offered fast communication with features such as SMS, MMS, e-mail and instant messaging.
It was another pleasure to text with the click and click sounds coming from the keys. Especially the written language we call T9 became famous with Nokia. In addition, WAP 2.0 was used as the internet browser, while XHTML and HTML options often offered the opportunity to surf on their own. It was a big plus that it could be inserted mini sim, weighed 118 grams, and could transfer mp3 or video with other devices with bluetooth v1.1. Having a 1 MP camera and 250 hours of standby was also one of the reasons why young people preferred it.
