Review

The Nokia 5610 ought to be a wonderful phone, with 3 megapixel camera and a music player. The phone can accept up to 4GB MicroSD flash memory. Without a contract it costs US $250. And of course no one wants a contract.

Product recall

In late 2008, T-Mobile recalled all Nokia 5610's from their retail stores in the USA. Word on the street was that there was a screen defect in some of the 5610's that Nokia sold to T-Mobile.

When I called Nokia about the matter, they informed me that they had nothing to do with the recall and could not tell me which batch or batches of phones were defective. In other words, they stonewalled.

When I called T-Mobile sales about the issue, they denied that the recall had ever happened. My local T-Mobile store has completely ceased selling the 5610, although they continue to sell other Nokia phones such as the 5310. Another T-Mobile reseller simply claimed there was no recall.

The poor manner in which the recall aftermath has been handled, with silence instead honesty, does not speak well of Nokia as a company.
