Nokia 6600 fold

Nokia introduces the Nokia 6600 fold mobile phone that balances stunning and sophisticated looks with the latest in mobile functionality. The Nokia 6600 fold presents a smooth, minimalist design and an appealing array of easy-to-use features. With one touch of a button, the elegant Nokia 6600 fold mobile phone smoothly opens to reveal a bright 2.13'' OLED screen displaying up to 16 million colors. With its seamless design, the signature "smooth back" of the Nokia 6600 fold creates a comfortable contour when open, and remains subtle and compact when closed. The high-gloss surface of the Nokia 6600 fold comes to life when tapped twice to "wake up" the hidden outer display that reveals time, incoming messages, missed calls and more.

A double tap on the Nokia 6600 fold also snoozes alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls. With a set of contemporary mobile features that belie its compact size, the Nokia 6600 fold is proof positive that beauty can be far more than skin deep. 3G technology allows for fast and easy sharing of pictures and videos snapped with the integrated 2 megapixel camera with double LED flash or swift access to Internet services such as Yahoo! Go or Flickr.

Nokia releases three new ‘beautiful to use’ handsets

Nokia has unveiled three new phones today that are ‘beautiful to use’. They are Series 40 devices, which is a lesser version of the S60 interface that Nokia’s smartphone line up uses. Two of the new devices are sliders, and one is a flip. They will be affordable, priced at 175-275 Euros ($273 - $429). They are all slated to ship in the third quarter of this year.

The 6600 Fold is a Series 40 flip. It has a 2.13 inch internal OLED display. It is capable of displaying 16 million colors. I wonder if it ever occurred to Nokia that the human eye can only see about 10 million colors? When closed, to activate the external screen, the outside of the phone is tapped twice to “wake up” the hidden outer display. This device has a 2 megapixel camera, and also features 3G. It is priced at 275 Euros($429).

The 6600 Slide is a Series 40 device as well. It is in the slider form factor, and ramps up the features. The 6600 Slide features a 3.2 megapixel camera, with a 2.2 inch QVGA screen. It features GPS abilities and has a preloaded Nokia Maps. It is compatible with Nokia’s Bluetooth GPS module, the LD-4W. The 6600 Slide will sell for 250 Euro ($390).

Finally, a slightly more basic slider rounds out the three. The 3600 Slide features a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera. It is MicroSD expandable up to 4GB. It can also play nice with LD-4W GPS module, and has Nokia Maps preloaded. It will sell for 175 Euro ($273).
