Nokia 6600 slide: A Balance in Design and Function

This is probably one of the smallest sliders out in the market today. The Nokia 6600 slide might not shout out in terms of design, but its simple yet clever design that’s equally complemented by a bevy of features makes it a nice alternative to the iPhone-crazed market of today.

Aesthetically, it exudes a certain amount of sophistication with its glossy, high-quality steel covers and aluminum center key. As a testament to good design, one can easily slide it open with one hand to reveal its equally plush keypad. It comes with a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPRS, FM radio, and large 2.2-inch QVGA display. It also comes with the Nokia Maps application, but you’ll need to pair it up with an external GPS unit to take advantage of its navigation features.

With a suggested retail price of PhP16,330, it might seem a little bit expensive considering how the more functional, 3G capable slim Nokia E51 is much cheaper than this one, but I reckon that this will have its own little following that’s not too critical about price nor features.
