Today, Nokia expanded its portfolio of imaging devices with the introduction of the Series 60 based Nokia 6600. This is the first Nokia phone based on the latest Symbian OS v7.0s.
With 122g and 113cc (108.6h x 58.2w x 23.7d mm), it cannot be described as small but this is better than existing Series 60 phones.
It offers advanced image capabilities with a 176 * 208, 65K colors TFT display. The integrated camera lets users record video clips as well as capture VGA (640 x 480 pixels) images. The Nokia 6600 also makes it possible to capture, send and receive video clips with audio, as well as receive streaming video content in both RealVideo and 3GPP video streaming formats. A new media gallery application makes access to and organization of multimedia content easy.
IT comes with 6MB internal memory and a 32MB MMC card.
Developers will also appreciate the Nokia 6600 phone's use of the latest in mobile technology
support for Java™ MIDP 2.0 and related APIs: the Mobile Media API (JSR-135), the Mobile Messaging API (JSR-120), and the Bluetooth API (JSR-82).

Business users will like the enhanced e-mail capabilities supplemented by secure content access via SSL and a mobile VPN client.
The Nokia 6600 mobile phone is a tri-band device that operates on five continents; data carrier support is HSCSD and GPRS. It is expected to be commercially available during the fourth quarter of 2003 in Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific markets.
Does anyone know if Nokia N-Gage games can be played in the MMC slot of the 6600 ? I have been doubting it for a while, and it would be a very expensive experiment for me to buy a £380 phone and a £35 game to find out they aren't compatible.
Anyone know for certain? Any answers would be great!
Thanks, Gabe
