Nokia 6600 Slide - 3G.co.uk

Nokia-6600.jpg

A review of the Nokia-6600 slider handset has been posted over at 3G.co.uk . 'Squeezing a lot into a tiny space is the keynote of this phone. You need to look closely to see the front camera for voice calling, but it’s there (whether you’ll ever use it for video calls is another matter). It is also impressive that Nokia has squeezed four GSM antennae and two 3G antennae into this tiny casing, not to mention the FM radio aerial too. The 3G isn’t the whizziest HSDPA data speed but it’s not really a phone where you’ll want to be displaying detailed web pages – the 2.2-inch screen wouldn’t do it justice. There’s the Opera Mini browser so you can surf the net. Just don’t expect it to be comfortable.'

Even though it’s metal-clad, the phone is light at just 110g. And although there wasn’t room for GPS, Nokia’s Maps program is on board. However, this is no match for the Maps program on the iPhone, even prior to its GPS-enabled 3G version, partly because the 2.2-inch screen is not big enough for easy map reading. You could connect a GPS device by Bluetooth – Nokia makes one that will do the job – but this seems like a faff.'
