Available in both metallic black and shiny purple, the Nokia 6600 Fold is a Nokia mobile phone that looks good, indeed, but isn’t going to be a choice for anyone seeking a lot of features on a mobile phone. It does some things well, but is very limited in its offerings – in other words, it’s most definitely a mobile phone and nothing more.
The exterior screen is purely informational, letting a user know the time, signal strength and battery life of this quad band phone. Open it up and you reach the main screen, which is fair, but really nothing special, with reasonable clarity, and the easy navigation you’d expect from Nokia.
What does impress on this phone is the keypad, which is very large and set up for texting, right down to a different colour for the middle keys, making identification easy on the eyes.
But that, and the fact the phone is equipped with 3G for fast browsing, is as far as it goes. The camera is a miserly two megapixels, nothing to set the world on fire, with only average picture clarity, and there’s no Wi-Fi, no GPS, and, of course, no 3.5mm headphone jack. In other words, this is a pretty basic phone.
As flip phones go, this is wonderful to look at, and if all you want is a mobile phone that does the basics, but does them well, then this is a model to seriously consider. Anyone wanting more than that will be searching elsewhere.
