Nokia 6600 mobile phone
Skip contentNokia 6600 is a tri-band cameraphone suitable for global roaming, and this candy bar style handset has a distinctive rounded body. The mobile phone’s specification shows it to be a versatile instrument with a large number of advanced features onboard, including wireless Bluetooth™ connectivity, high-speed GPRS and HSCSD data transfer, MMS multimedia messaging, video recorder and player, speakerphone for hands-free conversations, voice memo recorder, MMC card (32 MB supplied), support for the Symbian and Java™ software platforms, voice control, and a full e-mail client service.
The Nokia 6600 has a large TFT type of LCD colour display, with a resolution of 176 x 208 pixels, and this screen supports the reproduction of up to 65,536 different colours. The display gives the user a clear and bright view, which provides for easy navigation around the GUI style menu selection, and a good screen for viewing WAP pages, playing games, or running one of the supplied applications.
The VGA standard integrated camera has a resolution quality of 640 x 480 pixels, and this camera doubles up as a videocam when you want to record video clips. With its MMS capability, the Nokia 6600 enables you to send and receive MMS messages to and from compatible phones, and these messages may contain video clips, still pictures, sounds, and also text. This phone also allows you to make use of its facility to download streamed audio and video from a WAP site or from a computer using the onboard RealOne Player™.
The Nokia 6600 has a decent sized internal memory of 6 MB, but when you save audio and video files and many Java™ games and applications, this memory capacity will soon get filled up. Nokia has therefore provided this phone with a slot to take MultiMediaCard™ memory cards, and these can be used to store all the data and files that you wish to carry around with you. Two Java™ games are preloaded into the phone, but you have the possibility of downloading more games and applications, as you need them.
Data handling uses the high-speed connection provided by GPRS and HSCSD technology, and this should enable you to access the mobile Internet quickly and easily. The Nokia 6600’s WAP capability, and the inclusion of the Opera browser, will mean that navigating your way around Web pages should be straightforward, and the Symbian operating system means that using this phone is similar to using Windows on a PC. In addition, this phone will support the usual private e-mail accounts, as it has an e-mail client with the standard SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4 protocols.
The Nokia 6600 is equipped with the latest wireless connectivity via its Bluetooth™ interface technology, so that you can connect with Bluetooth compatible devices within a 10 metre range such as PCs, PDAs or other mobile phones, and you can then exchange data with them. In addition, this phone has the capability to interface using the alternative option of an infrared connection, and so you can link up with devices that are infrared compatible, and then synchronise your files, or exchange pictures and video clips. The 6600 also supports SyncML for over-the-air remote synchronisation.
