The Nokia 1610 (Nokia firmware code NHE-5NX) was released in 1996 and marketed as a phone for first time buyers. Mr Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia Mobile Phones' Senior Vice President, Sales, Europe and Africa, claimed that the Nokia 1610's impressive performance in talk time and standby time, presently the longest on the market, would make this phone a real seller in GSM markets. The monochrome LCD screen could display 2 lines of text. A phone book could store up to 199 telephone numbers and associated names with one-touch dialling being configurable against eight of these entries. The Nokia 1610 also supported the sending and receiving of SMS text messages.

Unfortunately nothing else is known about the features or performance of this mobile.
