Nokia 6600 Slide
Nokia 6600 Slide – 3G Slider phone
The Nokia 6600 Slide is a compact and elegant mobile phone with a high quality slider that can be opened using one hand. The 6600 Slide is a slim 14mm thick and only weighs 110 grams. The outer casing is constructed from steel covers and the control keys are made from aluminum. For such a compact phone the Nokia 6600 Slide has a respectable 2.2 inch QVGA screen using 16.7 million colours to ensure a bright display. The 6600 Slide features the new tap technology from Nokia which allows the user to mute/reject calls or silence the alarm simply by tapping the outer case of the phone, I can see me being late for work a lot if I get this phone!
Nokia 6600 Slide - Music player and Camera
The Nokia 6600 Slide has similar features to the Nokia 6600 Fold featuring a multi standard music player with built-in FM radio. The music player support MP3, MP4, AAC & eAAC+ and MicroSoft-Windows Media Audio (WMA). There is only 20MB of internal memory so to store all your favourite songs but Nokia have included a 512MB MicroSD™ memory card in the package, this can be upgraded to 4GB which should not cost you more than £30.
The Nokia 6600 Slide boasts a 3.2 megapixel camera which is better than the 2.0 megapixels offered by the Nokia 6600 Fold. The camera has 8x zoom and a double LED flash to brighten up those photos taken in dimly lite environments. VGA video recording is at 15 fps and QVGA at 30 fps giving a good quality recording. With the 2.2 inch TFT QVGA screen using 16.7 million colours admiring your filming work is a pleasure. There is no secondary camera like the Nokia 6600, as this is not a flip phone it is not really needed.
