Nokia 6600

alt text

Nokia’s smart phones never scored major points for style, and the Nokia 6600 for T-Mobile service is no exception. Armed with Bluetooth, Symbian OS, a quality camera, and an MMC memory-expansion slot, the 6600 offers a feature list similar to that of the Nokia 3620 but in a smaller package. Also, there are no dedicated speakerphone or camera-shutter keys. As with the Nokia 3620 as well as the Nokia 3300 music phone, you have to remove the 6600’s battery to change the card.

The resulting snapshots were fine for a camera phone, if not quite suitable for framing. As with the phone book, picture and video storage is limited by only the phone’s available memory, but if you’re running low, you can store your recordings on the included 32MB MMC media.You can download more wallpaper, applications, games, and ring tones via T-Mobile’s T-zones service.

A nice addition is the digital wallet, which stores credit card numbers and addresses that you can then access with compatible wireless services. A 4- to 10-digit access code protects the wallet from wrongdoers.We tested the Nokia 6600 (GSM 900/1800/1900; GPRS) world phone in the New York metro area using T-Mobile service, and callers said they could hear us loud and clear. Standby time also was poor.
