Nokia’s 3 New Mobile Phones for release in Q3 this year - Nokia 6600 and 3600 Slide and Fold phones

Nokia has announced the release of its 2 brand new phones sharing the same name – the Nokia 6600. The only difference between the two is that one folds and the other one slides.

Nokia has been known to brand each of their mobile phones using 4 digit names (until the N series of course came along). Now, this giant mobile phone company has broken this trend by naming two phones with one in slight variations. Depending on how clear you order these phones with the saleslady, you may end up getting the other one instead.

Welcome Nokia 6600 Fold and Nokia 6600 Slide. Scheduled for release by Q3 2008, these new phones has been characterized in the press with words like “Beauty”, “Glossy”, “Shiny”, “Smooth” and “Elegant”.

Nokia 6600 Fold, as the name suggests, is the flip-top variation while the Nokia 6600 Slide features, well not surprisingly, features a slide-out dialing panel. There are some distinct features to the phones as the specs suggest.

The Nokia 6600 Fold uses a 2.13” OLED display sporting 6 millions colors which is a little smaller than the Nokia 6600 Slide’s 2.2” display. The Fold also has a 2 Megapixel shooter attached to it while the Slide variant sports a 3.2 Megapixel camera that’s great to capture sweet moments.

Both phones also features tap commands. When off, a double-tap of the monolithic cover reveals time, messages and missed calls. A double-tap also snoozes alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls.

BTW – there’s another beauty coming along this release. The Nokia 3600 Slide phone offers the same 3.2 Megapixel camera with auto-focus and 2 LED flash ensuring high-quality photos or videos in dim lighting conditions.

It also comes with a TV-out feature that connects to most television sets so consumers can share pictures and videos. This 3600 Slide with built-in background noise cancellation - the first of its kind for a Nokia handset.

All three ship in Q3 and come with Nokia Maps application.
