Reevoo's summary of reviews:

According to its owners, this is a great all-rounder! 33% of people say the music is the best thing about it. It's easy to access and sounds good, if a little loud. The worst thing about it is the battery.

Stephanie, Holyhead

Score 10.0/10

+ The best thing about the Nokia 5610 is that it is so easy to use, and with just a slide of the button on the front, you have all your music there ready to listen to. The volume of the ringing tones and message tones are very loud compared to other makes I have had which i could barely hear if the phone was in my pocket or handbag. The quality of the camera and the video is excellent.

- I have not got any really bad points about this phone, only that the battery needs re-charging every couple of days, but that might be because I am always fiddling with it !!!!

Vik, Dundee , “Car Enthusiast”

Score 10.0/10

+ Music player great! - use it daily and sound quality is good
Camera Great! - took over 350 pictures at a car show
Battery Great! - took over 350 pictures on one charge with flash and still had practically full battery
Dead easy to use like all nokias!

- When battery eventually does run out - phone turns off and it takes a while to get it back on again after plugging in.
It also turns itself off (although very rarely) and you must slide it up and down a few times before you can turn it on again
