Nokia 6600 Fold Features And Pics

The accessories that come with the phone are the usual ones: a charger, a microUSB cable, manuals, software CD, handsfree with remote control on the line. The only thing we do not find in most phones is the cover. This cover is another proof that women are the target for 6600 fold.

The phone is extremely compact. I could not believe it is so thin. With just 15.9 mm, is thinner than most candybar phones. Weighing about 110 grams it seems slightly large for a phone of this type, but that is because it has many metal parts. The 110 grams are not at all excessive, the phone makes you a first impression of compact phone that is pleasant to hold it in your hand. It fits in any pocket, without problems.

6600 fold is made out of quality materials. I already said it looks solid, I will mention it is shiny. That makes it look good, but attracts fingerprints. The phone is available in two colors, black and purple. The problem with fingerprints is more evident for the black version.
Most clamshell phones stay closed with the help of some little springs that hold them in this position. 6600 fold has a different but interesting approach. The phone stays closed because of small magnets, which are located inside, above the screen and the keyboard. The magnets are colored and well masked. Moreover, the opening is made by pressing a button on the right side. When I saw this, I remembered the Ericsson T28.
On the sides, it has only one button and two connectors. On the right is the button that opens the flap and the plug charger. On the left we find the microUSB port. On the backside, we have the camera with a dual LED flash.
The graphic interface of 6600 fold is Nokia's S40 5th Edition. It is the operating system that Nokia installs on all its phones that are not smartphones. The menus are easy to use after you familiarize with them, even if they sometimes are not the intuitive.
The Nokia 6600 Fold is the sibling to the similarly specified Nokia 6600 Slide, and it can be considered to be the replacement for the current Nokia 6555. It's a dual-band 3G phone with a QVGA main display and 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, plus microSD expandable memory with a 512MB card included in the box. There's a multimedia player plus an FM radio, with a stereo wired headset in the sales package.

Like the 6555, the 6600 features a smooth back when it is open, along with a concealed display that can be woken up by tapping the phone twice. Inside the 6600 Fold is a 2.1" 320 x 240 pixel OLED paneland a secondary video calling camera. The keypad is a fairly coventional layout, taking advantage of the increased space available on a clamshell phone.

Nokia 6600 Fold As with the slide, you can double-tap the 6600 Fold to silence an alarm or reject a call, something that seems to be practical to have on a clamshell phone.

From the outside, the Nokia 6600 Fold is a strikingly elegant phone. Inside there's a practical and sensible layout, so overall the combination of usability and style is very appealing.
One annoyance is the camera - on the Slide it is a 3.2 megapixel unit, on the Fold it's only 2 megapixels. Despite that, the camera has the same video capture capabilities of 320 x 240 pixels at 30 fps or 640 x 480 pixels at 15 fps. In addition, pictures can be uploaded directly to Flickr or other photo sharing services.

Talktime on 3G is around 2.5 hours with up to 10 days standby time. The 6600 slide weighs 110 grams, which is a little heavier than most of the competition, but in terms of size it is fairly compact at 88 x 44 x 16mm.
