Nokia has introduced another mobile phone- the 6600 Slide, which shares a few characteristics with it’s recently introduced brother the 6600 Fold. When it comes down to details though, they are quite different. The slider design gives the phone a compact look. The phone is only 45mm wide, and the keypad covers the whole of the width. It also includes many features that should please customers.


The 6600 slide isn’t amongst the mobiles with the most features, but on the other hand, hardly anything is missing either. UMTS, quad band capability, EDGE and Bluetooth make the phone an all-rounder. The 3.2megapixel camera has a double LED flash and videos can clearly been watched on the 5.6cm screen which has 240 x 320 resolution. It can also be used as a multimedia player when used with a MicroSD card.

Those who fall in love with its compact design will be the main purchasers of this phone. Its aluminium and stainless steel details give it an expensive look, and some functions can be used just by touching the screen. The optional GPS LD-4W Bluetooth Adapter for navigation can be bought by those who want more features. The phone will be available from the 4th quarter for around 298 euros.

Scarcely a week goes by when someone doesn't seek my advice in purchasing a mobile phone. Most questions centre on whether or not to wait for an iPhone but, typically, the question is simply "what's the best mobile phone on the market?".


The problem is that "best" is a subjective term. If you pick up a copy of this month's Australian Macworld you'll see a story written by yours truly covering some of the most functional smartphopnes on the market as well as some general advice on choosing a handset.

When you're choosing a mobile, there are a number of things to consider. Firstly, if your main focus is to make phone calls (a novel idea for a phone!) then you'll find any number of sub-$100AUD handsets fit the bill. If you're looking for a unit with a good camera then some of Sony Ericcson's and Nokia's high-end handsets will fit the bill with their 5MP cameras.

Calendar syncing? Devices running Windows Mobile or many Nokia models do the job nicely with support for Outlook, Lotus Notes, Windows and Mac (although, in some cases, you'll need to either download or buy extra software).

Many people neglect to actually hold and try out a mobile before purchasing. Are the menus easy to navigate? Is it comfortable to hold and are the buttons easy to press?

Finally, the salespeople in many stores will drive you towards higher-end, more expensive units. make sure you have a shopping list of must have features and don't let them tempt you to spending more than need be to get a feature you don't need.
