Home > Consumer Reviews > Nokia 6600 - SIM Free (Light Grey)

This phone is an ideal mini PDA. It has loads of functions and menus for you to spend all day browsing.

The great thing about the phone is Realone Player. If you purchase an additional memory card for the phone, then you can have hours of fun downloading full length movies, simpsons episodes and loads of various games and applications.

Full length movies only take up around 40-60mb. Simpsons episodes are only around 10-13mb and most of the applications are very small (7-75kb).

The 6600 phone accepts truetone ringtones e.g. The crazy frog. You cannot transfer the MP3 format of the ringtone directly onto the phone, but if you use the Nokia PC Suite, then this converts the ringtone for your phone, also it takes up less space.

Video is a bit annoying, only 10 seconds worth, but ok quality nonetheless. Camera takes one of the best quality photo's I've seen from a Mobile.

Be careful with the memory card scenario, I got caught out by not checking what card works for the phone. MMC's are the best.

Another good purchase to make is a Bodyglove Cover, I got mine off Ebay for four pounds twenty five pence.

Battery life on the phone is ok, not as good as say the 7250i etc. Lasts on average 3-6 days.

An all round excellent phone with a great sized screen that will keep you busy for hours on end.

This is still the best smartphone on the market. Good screen, easy to use keypad and functions which are simple to use. When you set up the sync with your PC's Outlook it can really replace your PDA. Antenna performance and audio quality are good too. Picture quality is good for simple quick snaps.

I received this has an early christmas present from some friends to replace my ageing Sony-Ericsson T68i. Although i'm normaly reluctant as towards Nokia's, I have to say, so far I am impressed!
On the plus side: The screen size is spot on, as is its resolution, image quality, and brightness; the software driven menus are rather fast to access, although phone startup is slow; the PC synchronization is rather good although not without its usual hassels; the picture quality taken with the intergrated camera is rather good in low light (ie indoors), and fantastic in outdoors; the expandable memory is superb (comes with 32MB MMC card), although i'm not too sure at the availability of MMC cards to buy; I was impressed at being able to import a 1hr video clip and being able to play it with sound on the phone without it looking too slow or bad (though it's a little small); and bluetooth compatibility works fine (as opposed to 7650 non-audio compatible BT).
On the down side however, battery life was disapointing (Charged twice within 48hrs, with slightly more than average use, PC synchro via BT and IR, minimum audio); I find the phone a lot bigger and more combersome than my old t68i, although nicer to handle for normal usage than the 7650, but not so practical for taking pictures as the 7650; video clips taken with the phone camera are in my mind of very poor quality.
I can't comment on the Audio, because I havn't used it much for audio yet! As my subject line reads, it's realy a gadget, with built in camera, e-mail client, web browser, file storage capabilities, Schedular, Converters (currency, mass, temperature, volume, length, fluids,...), PDA functions, video camera, and somewhere in there is a phone.
The price is high, but if you want the latest thing, this is the phone for you! I wouldn't have bought it myself because of the high price, but as it was given to me, I realy have no complaints about it, apart from the picky points I mensioned above.

When i recieved this phone for my birthday, i was amazed at how good of a phone it actually is! Firstly the look is ok, i orignally thought it would be too big and heavy but it wasnt and it fits into my pocket fine. The phones features itself are amazing, the picture quality is v.good and video quality is also good. The amount of fun you can have with video is brilliant. I bought a USB adaptor to connect this phone with my pc and now i am putting music files and pictures from my pc onto my phone and vice versa. This is simply brilliant, its like a digital camera but more usuful as its smaller and a handheld gadget. To get all this on a phone is extremly impressive and i keep finding new amazing things out about it like the Bluetooth technology, which means i can send files for free to my friends when i am next to them. Bluetooth is just a much more advanced version of infared. The fonts and layout is brilliant, its very easy to navigate through and you can personalise it so much to suit your taste. With this phone you cant go wrong, you will never get bored of it!! I particularly recommend this phone for younger people as its sucha nice piece of technolgy to have. I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THIS PHONE AS ITS JUST SO GOOD AND THE PRICE IS WELL WORTH IT!! 5/5 NO LESS

I got this phone on contract from Vodafone and I must say I am definitely impressed. If You can use Windows, this phone is simple to use as its mostly Icon driven!

If your network supports it you can check your email using GPRS which I find most impressive.

The screen is spot on, nice resolution and High Colour count make it good for viewing pictures and moving images on.
The Joystick used for moving around the menus could do with being a little Sturdier but this is the only downfall I see.
