It has a great 2.2″ internal display, 240×320 pixels and 16m colors, that’s doing great, in comparison with other phones in it’s price range and even more expensive. Also, it’s 1.5″ external display, 128×160 pixels and 262,000 colors it’s very good, in comparison with other nokia phones.

The phone has a little of internal memory, only 11MB, but can be extended using a microSD memory card. Unfortunately, it’s placement it’s not the best, having to remove the battery cover to get to the memory card.

It’s internal memory can hold 500 contacts with lots of details each, which should be enough for the majority of users. A contact can hold the specified details: 5 phone numbers, web addresses e-mail adresses, work, home addsesses, job title, company name, birth date, nickname and notes.

The Smasung SPH-M610 is a very good looking mobile phone, with a high quality internal display and a lot of features. Currently, it’s the thinniest and slimmest mobile phone on the market. Also, the phone is not very high priced, despite it’s features, design and size, at only $329 full price.

This mobile phone is a tough competitor gor Motorola Rarz and seems to defeat it, due to it’s size, low weight, design and features.

IT’s main features are the 2 megapixel camera, microSD memory card slot, 2.2″ TFT display, with 262k colors, 3G technology and Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the camera isn’t of the best quality and the microSD memory card slot is badly positioned, being behind the battery, so you have to turn off the phone and get out the battery to change it.  The display is of good quality, but it has one issue, being seen badly in direct sunlight, as most samsung mobile phone do.
