2610 will cost you $25 more then 1600. After using Nokia 2610 for few months, is good phone, good reception -- but 2610 has one fault -- you will not be able to see the screen too well in sunny day (even with backlight on). I do not know about 1600, if has same issue with the display. Nevertheless, I would not trade 2610, it just looks nice.

The 1600 has the same problem but it too is a good phone especially for "free."

FWIW I recently saw 1600s for sale in phone shops in Europe (unlocked, no airtime) for at least EUR50 which is CA$75.

Nokia 2610 has internet (web browser) and the Nokia 1600 dosn't. I would get the Nokia 2610 for $25 more to get the Web browser.

When using the web browser are you only paying the 20 cents per minute like a regular conversation, or are there added fees per kilobyte?

I have the Nokia 2760 and the internet connection would only let you browse to the Mobile store and ZTRA's website... I didnt get charged for browsing.
