Nokia 6600 review

Advantages: Huge list of features
Disadvantages: Not the best battery life, not the smallest phone

...it to download anything to the phone such as ringtones, pictures, videos, themes, applications, games and much more, most of which can be found for free on the internet. This is much better than paying silly prices by purchasing things slowly over GPRS. The nokia 6600 PC suite even allows you to convert MP3 files into realtones which sound very good before transfering them to the phone to set as a ring tone. This is a feature i think is very clever. Though the phone doesn't support MP3 playback as standard, you can download software to make it do this if you so wish, though i personally would rather use my ipod or psp and a good pair of headphones. The infra-red connection on this phone is also very good, though much slower and you have to line the ports up to make it work. It seems to work about 20cm away from the other device. The best...

Review of Nokia 6600

Nokia 6600, ( the best has been beaten.) Damn !

Advantages: Cool design, big and beautiful, and it's a phone as well !
Disadvantages: None yet !!!

...into the Orange shop, to have a look and see what was on offer.......................I scanned the racks , and spotted the 6600.........mmmmmm nice and big, nice shape, good weight to it, ( must be good quality ! ). Said to the salesman ...... I'll have that one please. Signed the contract , for .....another year, and off I went. I must admit I was a bit worried about operating the thing as it is packed with so many fetures, but , to my suprise, I find the operation instinctive. If you've owned Nokia's before, you'll have no trouble with this one. I would say that this one is easier than the older models, especially with the central ' navi button ' which eases you around the main functions. Up down, left,right, and press to click on the chosen icon. The main menu is acessed by pressing the blue under the main green send button. This...

Nokia 6600 - Is it for you?

Advantages: Small, Advanced, Light weight
Disadvantages: Crashes, Video Length (9secs)

...I purchased the Nokia 6600 in mid February 2004 from 02 on contract. I chose the phone as I had read many good reviews and enjoyed the large range of features. Since I have bought the phone I have had few problems, but nothing worth writing about although I have heard of many 6600's with software faults. A friend of mine is now on his 3rd 6600 due to these. Features: Colour Screen - The colour screen is absolutely superb! A lot of detail can be seen and the colours are very vibrant. I cannot praise the screen enough! No complaints there. Speakers - The speakers on the Nokia 6600 are brilliant. You can get some really superb quality audio and they can be quite loud indeed. The quality of the speakers means you can add music to the phone and play to your heart's content! 10/10 Camera - The camera is overall very good...

Nokia Delights Featuring the Superb 6600

Advantages: 65536 Colour Display Camera/Video Mobile Phone, Bluetooth, Lots of features
Disadvantages: Buttons can be an annoyance, Takes a while to get used to if you have come from a previous nokia

...and a joystick on the front for easy navigation on the screen which I find very handy for quickness and ease of use. What makes this phone different from previous nokias is that some of the buttons are spaced out slightly differently on either side of the phone which takes a while to get used to. The camera is nicely incorperated within the casing of the mobile on the rear of the phone. Within the mobile itself the battery is quite small and below it is where the memory card is placed and sim card. 6600 Software- When using the phone and navigating around, I found it fairly easy to utilise by using the hotkey which takes you to the main menu. From there you can select which part of the phone you require to go to such as camera/video etc. It is all nicely displayed on the phone and you can change the themes and wallpapers to suit your tastes...

Review of Nokia 6600

6,600 reasons I love my phone.

Advantages: Funky and useful, gimmicky and good-looking
Disadvantages: Battery life limited.

...the sleek and sexy 7250i to the 6600. My poor mum waited until midday for my phone. She was dead on her feet for the following forty-eight hours. Bless her cottons. The phone is a rather imposing sight. It?s wider than Nokia?s other offerings and is dominated by a large screen that gives the impression you?re holding a tricorder from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Above the inch of sensibly set out keypad at the bottom is a joystick which operates the cursor of the phone. You?ll be hard-pressed to come across a half-decent phone without a joystick nowadays. People love joysticks because it allows them to reminisce about Commodore 64s, Spectrum ZXes, Amiga 500s and Atari STs without spending too much money or looking silly carting such ancient machines about with them. (All those who know what I?m talking about will also be familiar...

Review of Nokia 6600

Nokia 6600 - The new flagship phone.

Advantages: Wide range of features. Conventional design, wide support software-wise
Disadvantages: Bulky, improvements only cosmetic

...phones reach a new level in technology, can the 6600 regain the market share that Nokia enjoyed a couple of years back? FIRST IMPRESSIONS First off, in absolute terms, this isn?t a small phone. The same curvy shape as the 3650; it weighs in at almost 130g, quite heavy for a phone. But this is off-set against the amount of features it has, and is comparable to most phones in it?s class (I?ll explain later). As said before, the Nokia 6600 looks more conventional, with a standard keypad layout. It actually looks quite nice, and is solid to hold. The keypad features large buttons; to accommodate this, some of the function keys have been moved to the side of the phone; for example, the green and red keys to allow/drop calls. Navigation is via a 5-way joystick just below the screen. Around the sides of the phone, you?ve got the IR...

Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

... Intro Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97. Buying The Phone After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97...

Review of Nokia N97

Nokia 6600 - Affordable Functionality

Advantages: Functionality, durability, camera quality
Disadvantages: Fiddly keypad, joystick, bulky size

...I picked up this phone second hand 3 months ago (July 2005) in an exchange store in town. The phone itself set me back £80 for just the unit itself and a charger, the price for the full set of box/instructions was around £110. The 6600 is the same as all other Nokias, a very simple phone to operate, and I could perform all the functions of the phone with just a few minutes trial - the fact that the phone came with no instructions is testament to it's simplicity. The signal on the phone is perfect aside from a quiet background noise (though this my be due to damage done by it's previous owner), and the quality of the camera and video is excellent. The 6600 has all the usual features; calculator, currency convertor, GPRS internet, bluetooth and more, which for the money I feel are excellent value. I've dropped this phone more times...

Review of Nokia 6600

Nokias most recent attack on i-phone succes or failure

Advantages: memory
Disadvantages: touchscreen

...as a owner and user of the nokia n97 i can say i am overall very happy with the improvements that nokia have made on previous models i.e N96 and N95. Lets face it all of us who went from owning an N95 to what nokia seem to believe was a better model (N96) were extremely dissapointed as although looking good on paper the N96 failed to meet the standards of its pre- deccesor but i am glad to say nokia have redeemed themselves on the launch of the N97. There have been many improvements made on previous models i.e the processor is alot faster and the slow transitions between menus has been completely iradicated due to the massive 32Gb memory which can still be increased to a huge 48GB by the handy memory slot tucked away under the rear cover of the phone. Another improvement on previous models is the slider mechanism after a few minor issues...
