Exterior, magnet
6600 fold is the type of handset which has a price that is hard to tell at first. It looks nice, and demanding, but the picture changes when you take it in your hands, there are joint problems, screeching, which – we must say – is quite a shame for a handset that costs €290 EUR; practically the Finnish manufacturer is the only one who dares to launch such a poorly assembled handset in this price category. The phone, by the way, is not small, it’s 87.7 x 44 x 15.9 mm large and weighs 110 grams, which I also couldn’t judge, it seems lighter.
The front has a shiny, gradient finish which covers an OLED screen with a diagonal of 1.36” and a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. There are no buttons, but the part above the display is touch-sensitive, which practically can be used only for denying/muting incoming calls. Otherwise the display gets lit at double-tap, but it cannot be used for lots of things, it displays time or the track that is played back, but a couple of other features could have been implemented. There is a Nokia logo surrounded by a brushed surface on top of the front and there is a pulsating LED below it, but this doesn’t blink only when there is a missed event, it’s flashing continuously instead. Well, why not – of course it can be turned off.
The external display
The back has quite a lame design, it can be snapped off, and – as I have already mentioned – it screeches a lot. The 2 megapixel camera with fixed focus and a LED flash are on the top, the resolution is not written anywhere. A bit below we can see a metallic part which is only a design element.
There is nothing on top, on the right there is the charger connector and the open button for the fold. Yes, a dedicated button for opening the phone! We can rarely see such a thing, I’ve been playing around with it quite a lot, it’s great fun. 6600 fold closes magnetically and it’s opened with the help of a spring – if we press the button on the right the magnet is “disabled” for a short time and the spring opens the phone. If we don’t let the fold to open during pressing the button, we get to see the message on the picture above: Open fold manually. We can open it by hand too, it needs no hard effort and thanks to the gap you can see below we can do it with one hand.
The data cable connector is on the left, it’s microUSB. There are no volume control keys, this annoyed me a lot, I can’t understand why they aren’t here.
When opening the phone we can stare at the QVGA OLED screen with a diagonal of 2.13”. Quality is great, but its brightness seems lower than on a TFT, due to the technology used, but it’s no big deal. There is a VGA secondary camera and image sensor in the top left corner, while above the screen there is the phone speaker that has the magnet embedded. The keypad is on the bottom half, I didn’t like it at all, as the buttons (besides the ones in the center, matter column) are slippery and their size and pressure point are not good either, which is even more true to the five-way navigation pad. The other magnet is on the bottom with the handsfree speaker underneath it.
