I have a Nokia 6610m its US based and I got it from a friend who
was kind enough to unlock it before giving it to me.

I've had it for over 5 years and its still going strong. The battery lasts
for a week, it has excellent reception (better compared to the blackberry,
razor, a sony and a samsung phone - I've used em all)

I've dropped it a few times, got splashed with water, driven over
and its at a point that I have to tape the back cover shut. .. but
its still going strong. I wish I can buy the same one again.
