Nokia’s 6600 Slide allows you to enjoy a well-proportioned, compact design with streamlined surfaces and a high-quality slider. If you are after an attractive phone that does the job without an overwhelming pile of features you will never use, the 6600 Slide is for you.

Holding the 6600 Slide in your hand, you can tell straight away that this is a phone of quality. While some slide phones are creaky and flimsy, the 6600 Slide is solid, and looks good too. Sleek lines and a glossy finish with a few coloured trimmings will certainly turn heads, although the handset is not so big that it can't be slipped into your jacket pocket or purse with ease. 

The display of the Nokia 6600 Slide is an impressive 2.2 inches, and the accompanying keypad hidden underneath is also of a good size. Not too big, not too small, these controls allow you to navigate through Nokia's dependable user interface without problems.  Texting and calling is a breeze, and with built in 3G you can also browse the web quickly and easily. Nokia have thoughtfully pre-installed the Opera Mini browser, enabling you to look at full web pages hassle free.

Another pre-installed perk is Nokia Maps. Although you need to place an external Bluetooth GPS receiver in to find your own location, having the maps already on your phone is surprisingly useful even without the receiver. Apart from A2DP Bluetooth the Nokia 6600 Slide also supports USB connections and even has a microSD memory card slot for boosting storage.

You can take shots to store in this extra space using the 3 megapixel camera with LED flash. Shots are good in both bright and low light, and the flash packs a surprising punch. Other features include an FM radio and a music player that supports a range of files.
