Nokia 6600 Slide-3G mobile phone

Interface:

The Nokia 6600 Slide 3G mobile phone comes with Opera Mini pre-installed, which lets you look at full Web pages in a similar way to the iPhone's browser. You can also use 3G to make video calls.




A 3.2-megapixel camera on the back will satisfy your basic MMS and Facebook photography needs, and we were surprised to see how well it performed in low light. While the dual LED photo lights aren't as illuminating as a xenon flash, they did pump out more light than we expected, making night shots turn out fairly well.

A useful and unexpected feature is Nokia Maps, which comes pre-installed and allows you search for directions. The Nokia 6600 3G mobile doesn't come with GPS so you can't pinpoint your location without using an external Bluetooth GPS receiver, but we still found Nokia Maps to be useful without it.

Performance:

The Nokia 6600 Slide 3G is a snappy performer that sounded good during calls. Similar to the Nokia 6300, the 6600 Slide does what it says on the tin without causing any trouble.

What's In:

Compact design.
Metal casing.
Straightforward interface.
Nokia Maps pre-installed.

What's Out:

Lack of 3.5mm headphone jack.
Battery cover is tough to take off.

Bottom Line:

Nokia 6600 Slide 3G is a simple phone with simple ambitions.
