When we think of a “fold” phone, we think of some sort of insanely complex origami-like contraption that might function a small handful of times before breaking into a dozen useless fragments. In reality, though, Nokia’s new 3610 Fold is nothing more than your standard issue flip phone, which is probably just as well. It bears a fleeting resemblance to the 3555, but we’d argue that the 3610 is considerably more attractive and 2008-ish — just too bad it loses the 3G somewhere along the way, presumably in an effort to keep the unsubsidized cost down to a bargain-basement €125 ($186). On the upside, it bundles a 1.3 megapixel cam, microSD expansion, quadband EDGE, and a Q3 ship Dat. in two exciting colors, so keep your chin up, sport.
