Nokia 6600i slides into action with a 5 megapixel snapper

Nokia 6600i slide
An updated version of the highly likable Nokia 6600 slide has officially been announced to the public. At first glance, it would hardly seem a big thing, as the Nokia 6600i shares its name with the original device, however besides the new outfits, there is now a more serious upgrade in the imaging department.

Tucked inside its new brushed steel shell, the Nokia 6600i slide is toting an upgraded 5 megapixel camera with a dual LED flash. Boasting 3G talents, this means you’ll be able to share your shots on the move with little fuss.

The new 6600i features a handsome hidden external display, with the outer face equipped with touch technology, enabling you to simply tap it to bring the external screen to life or snooze alerts and silence or reject incoming calls. It comes with a 1GB microSD card tucked in the box, and has the capability to stomach up to 16GB should you wish to feast on a fatter diet of music, movies, games and apps on the go.

Built on Nokia’s Series 40 platform, the 6600i slide is primed to soak up the first flood of apps and content that will soon become available via the upcoming Ovi Store.

The Nokia 6600i slide is slated to go on sale in Q3 2009 for around 200 euro.
