Review: Excellent phone. You can add software and customise the phone as you like. For me it gives me a phone, a camera, a video camera, gaming devise, expense manager, converter, torch, compass, mp3 player, digital diary and many more - ALL IN ONE. I just wish it had an FM Radio. OVERALL SIMPLY EXCELLENT.

Review: Bad cell because I can’t use File browsing using MIDP 2.0. It is a necessary requirement for all Audio/Video Application.

Review: The 6600 is a good phone, there is so much functionality that you have to give it a little time to start up. Most importantly it is one of the first phones to implement Java MIDP2.0 so that you can download games that use the camera such as Wudya. It is also a great phone and this is what we forget sometimes when getting carried away with the other functionality!

Review: One of Nokia's worst models. It's so S L O W!!! If you've used an older Nokia where the phone keeps up no matter how quickly you run through the menus, you are going to loathe this phone. It seems to get worse the more it gets used too. Iím talking seconds of delay in opening text messages, navigating the menus, even unlocking the keypad from the screensaver is not instantaneous. The thing also takes an age to boot up. Sometimes I have to hold the on button for 5 seconds or more, otherwise the boot sequence gives up and it switches itself off again. I can't sync the address book with my Pocket PC. The provided software is only for connections to a PC. The dictionary learns words and puts them at the front of predictive text sequences, so it writes 'hq' before 'is' and 'yot' before 'you', etc. The keyboard is a joke, your fingers slip off the keys onto the row below because they slope down and are smooth plastic. They also separated the cancel button and the dictionary/alpha/numeric mode buttons for no reason other than to justify why the phone is so fat. If you're used to an older model you'll have to learn how to type again, it's not intuitive. When you lock the keyboard, the screensaver kicks in. When you hit 'unlock' - '*' to unlock the phone, the thing takes your first keypress as a signal to halt the screensaver, but disregards the second keypress because it thinks the keypad is still locked. The OS wonít recognize incoming calls or texts as address book phone numbers if they arenít stored as international prefix (eg +44). The speakerphone is quite good though, and so is the camera, and the display. Overall, lots of annoyances, which individually I could live with, but collectively make me want to smash the thing to bits. Iím getting a 6230 and hoping itís an improvement.
