Photos: Nokia Mirage 2605
The Nokia Mirage 2605's call quality will disappoint many and it fails even the most basic durability tests.
Kent German
Kent was a senior managing editor at CNET News. A veteran of CNET since 2003, he reviewed the first iPhone and worked in both the London and San Francisco offices. When not working, he's planning his next vacation, walking his dog or watching planes land at the airport (yes, really).
As wispy as they come
Unfortunately, the Mirage has a flimsy design that doesn't inspire confidence.
From the outside
The Mirage's external display is serviceable. Above it is the VGA camera lens.
From behind
When open, the Mirage forms a smooth curve.
Turn it up
The Mirage's volume rocker sits on its left spine below the 2.5mm headset jack.
Don't drop it
The Mirage is almost too light, with a cheap feeling in the hand.
Keypad and cotnrols
The Mirage's keypad and controls weren't easy to use.
Take it away
The compact Mirage travels well. But again, don't drop it.
Personalization
The Mirage features replaceable "Xpress-on snaps" that fit over the camera lens. They offer minimal personalization and break easily.
