new nokia 6600

The 6600 Slide isn’t the brainiest Nokia we’ve seen. Like its sibling, the 6600 Fold, it’s a Series 40 handset, so lacks the IQ of the forthcoming N96. But it crams a lot into its tiny, gleaming steel case, including a very high-res screen and a 3.2MP camera.

Quality camerawork

The camera is proficient, as you’d expect from Nokia, and handily packs autofocus to improve image quality further. There are limited special effects and video recording too, but otherwise it’s a straightforward, point-and-shoot snapper.It’s also a quad-band phone with dual-band 3G and, like most high-end Nokia phones, packs an FM radio. Since this is a Nokia Series 40 operating system, everything is very speedy and responsive too.The banana-fingered may find the keys a little too diddy for comfort, but at least they’re regularly shaped, if not widely spaced. The 6600 Slide has a great, smooth sliding mechanism, and its size, though small, fits in the hand perfectly.
