Nokia 6600i slides into action and comes with 5 megapixel snapper

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.

The Nokia 6600i has all the features of its predecessor. The 2.2-inches TFT display, 3G support, Bluetooth, microSD card slot and FM radio are all here. There is also an accelerometer for tap commands for basic managing of calls and alerts. The retail box as usual includes a 1GB memory card.

The only difference which comes with 6600i is the 5 megapixel camera sensor instead of the 3.2 MP previous one. The video recording and the flash however have stayed unchanged - VGA@15fps and a dual-LED unit.

Nokia claims the 6600i is the smallest 5MP slider in the world. Its body, like the 6600, is metallic, this time with the oh-so-trendy brushed metal look. We liked the Nokia 6600 slide, we think we dig the successor as well.

The Nokia 6600i slide is scheduled to hit market sometime in Q3 this year at a reasonable price of 200 euros.
