Nokia just announced a trio of
Nokia handsets: Nokia 6600 slide,
6600 fold, and
3600 slide. The 6600 fold it is said to smoothly arc open with the press of a button and reveal a
2.13-inch OLED display with
16 million colors.
What is very interesting are the
tap commands. When of, a double-tap on the cover reveals the time, messages and missed calls. A double-tap also snoozes alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls.
The 6600 slide has the same tap technology but the digital camera has
3.2 megapixels with a
2.2-inch QVGA.
The
3600 slide offers the same camera with built-in background noise cancellation.
The devices range in price from
175 EUR to
275 EUR before taxes and subsidies and are expected to start shipping during the
third quarter of 2008.
"There is a strong consumer demand for mobile handsets that blend elegant looks with modern features," said
Mikkel Drucker, Director, Connect Devices.
"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."
