The Nokia 6600 was undoubtedly one of Nokia's most popular smartphones. Ever since it was launched back in 2004, it has sold millions of units and even now, we come across people using the phone, albeit as a backup phone.Having said that, anything that shares a similar name with the erstwhile king of smart phones, deserves attention. That attention was given to the brand new Nokia 6600i which has been announced by the Finnish handset maker a few days ago. Whoever hearing the 6600 lineage would have thought of the phone to be a smartphone- or at least share the lineage in the form of a similar form factor. Sadly, that is not the case. Nokia seems to have forgotten the good old 6600 completely as the latest iteration of the phone happens to be a slider phone - and it's not even a smartphone!
Meet the brand new 6600i, the latest Series 40 release from Nokia. The 6600i is a decently spec-ed device sporting a 5 megapixel camera, a 1GB micro SD card and the Nokia stereo headset WH-203 with FM radio. On the design front, this one might just turn the occasional heads, thanks to its "brushed steel covers and chrome center key which constitute both understated elegance as well as visual simplicity" as Nokia puts it.
This, as it turns out, it might just be another S40 phone from the company with nothing revolutionary to offer. Nokia could have done better than this, at least by not naming it after the 6600, which inspite of having been termed an "oyster egg" by detractors during its heydays, was a kick-ass phone.It will be made available in select markets in Q3 2009 at an expected price of Rs. 13,000
