Three new phones to Nokia today, including two that are apparently a variant on the same model. The 6600 Fold is similar to the 6600 Slide, except that it’s a clamshell instead of a slider, as the names would imply. They’re not identical though, as one would assume from the model number.
The slide has a 2-Megapixel camera, OLED screen, 3G connectivity and a flash. The Fold has a 3.2-inch LED, hi-rez display, and is also geared towards music fans. Both can take up to 4GB of microSD.
Nokia also launched a stripped down version of the Slide called the 3600, which has support for Bluetooth-connected GPS, including built-in mapping.
The Fold is interesting for its springy, one-touch opening, like the communicators on the old Star Trek, while the Slide is the smallest Nokia slider yet made. They’re not iPhones, but they are hot.
hey i thought the 3600 was released aaages ago.
i’ve got a 6300, when i first got it and was searching for applications for it i repeatedly searched for the wrong phone version – 3600, which was a brick-like phone from several years ago..
anyways i didn’t think nokia would bring back old phone models…
