Up and coming: Nokia 6600 Fold

Connect Devices’ Director, Mikkel Drucker said, “There is a strong consumer demand for mobile handsets that blend elegant looks with modern features. Each of the three devices introduced today offers a slightly different take on a core design language. We believe they are both beautiful to use and beautiful to behold – and offer a range of choice.”

With one touch of a button, the Nokia 6600 Fold smoothly opens to reveal a 2.13-inch OLED screen displaying up to 16 million colours. The “smooth back” of the Nokia 6600 fold creates a comfortable contour when open, and remains subtle and compact when closed. The high-gloss surface of the Nokia 6600 fold comes to life when tapped twice to wake up the hidden outer display that reveals time, incoming messages, missed calls and more. A double tap on the Nokia 6600 fold also snoozes alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls.

The phone also has 3G capabilities, a 2-megapixel camera with double LED flash, and swift access to Internet services such as Yahoo! Go or Flickr. The Nokia 6600 Fold easily fits into a pocket or a handbag.

The 6600 Slide is touted as the ‘smallest Nokia slider’ to date. This slider sports a glossy, high quality steel covers and aluminium centre key, a 3.2-megapixel camera, as well as a 2.2-inch QVGA screen.

It also comes with the ‘tapping’ feature that conveniently indicates time, snoozes, alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls with just two taps.

Soft ceramic paint and metal combined with high gloss surfaces and gradated colours to make the Nokia 3600 a looker. According to Nokia, the 3600 Slide is the first Nokia unit that will feature a background noise cancellation feature. It will also come with a built-in music player that can play up to 3000 songs using an optional microSD card.

The Nokia 3600 Slide also delivers a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and 2 LED flash, as well as a TV-out feature, which conveniently connects the Nokia 3600 slide to most television sets to ensure quick and easy sharing of pictures and videos.
