Nokia 6600i Review

A while back Nokia released the 6600 pair – the slide and the fold – which we fell for, big time. The seemingly more popular sibling got an update and the 6600i slide will keep on cashing in. Slightly revamped, it brings a beefier camera and a new paintjob to boot.

Looks have changed just a bit and we honestly think they did it right. The consciously minimalist design of the original didn’t leave much room for frills anyway. Alright, the 6600i slide is a no-frills package overall, but don’t go saying we didn’t warn you. It’s enjoyable and addictive.
