The Old Favourite 6600 is Back!
The design has that simplistic, yet elegant appeal that makes it more stylish than other flashy models. With a 5 MP camera with 8x zoom and dual-LED flash, the phone is designed for imaging and sharing. It is supposed to be the manufacturer’s smallest 5 MP slider offering. But the phone might disappoint when it comes to what it is. Or rather what it is not. It’s not a smartphone – it’s just another Series 40 phone with a good camera. For it to hold a candle to the old 6600 and the place it has in our heart, it should’ve had at least something revolutionary. It does feature touch technology, but most likely, it’s limited to tasks such as answering or silencing calls. Other than an impressive camera, it’s got a microSD slot expandable to 16 GB, 3G support, and a bright 2.2-inch 240×320 TFT 16-million color display. It can record video at in VGA at 15 fps and QVGA at 30 fps. The phone is supposed to be specially built to make better use of Nokia’s Ovi products. You won’t have to wait too long to get a feel of it since its slated to be available in the third quarter of 2009 for 200 Euros (around Rs. 13,000).
