Menu, software
The software might be the toughest part to write about in case of a Series 40 handset, but I’ll try it again anyway. I’d immediately like to attract the attention of our newer readers that we have published a dedicated article about Nokia’s system, so those who would like to get a deeper insight should click here, for example. To tell the truth 6600 has nothing new in this part, not as if anyone would expect it, as S40 is already a mature and reliable platform. There is basically no problem with speed, moving around the menus is gapless, but the phone slows down sometimes for a brief moment, but this is nothing serious.
The basic programs are of course included on Slide. The organizer functions are all right, the calendar is transparent, there is an alarm clock that works when the phone is turned off, there is a to-do list, a notepad, world clock, calculator, sound recorder, unit- and currency-converter, stopwatch and countdown timer. Thanks to Java support we can of course further expand this list, applications can be copied to the 18 MB of internal memory or on the microSD card – the slot by the way is under the battery, but this isn’t that annoying, since the phone can work in Mass Storage mode.
As an interesting matter, both Messenger and Opera Mini are missing from the list of extra apps, but we have WidSets and Yahoo! Go. On the bottom of the main menu we can see Nokia Maps too, but we can use it with an external GPS receiver at most, since there is none built-in. There are six games on the phone: Golf Tour, Highroller Casino, Rally 3D, Snake III, Soccer 3D and Sudoku.
