The phone's XHTML browser provides high-speed data transmission (up to 43 Kbps) via GPRS, as well as access to work and private email accounts (SMTP, POP3 and IMAP). It also supports concatenated SMS, picture messaging, and SMS distribution lists, and lets you send MMS (multimedia messaging service) packets containing combined image, video, text, and voice clips to compatible phones or PCs. Predictive text input and text message templates round out the package, along with the ability to expand your phone's functionality by downloading Symbian and Java MIDP 2.0 applications.

You can view your photos on the 65,536 color display, or send them to your computer or via MMS to a friend with your internet connection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Many cool features; maybe too many?, August 14, 2004

By 

Mr. T. (Pasadena, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia 6600 Phone (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

I bought this phone after having other phones that had less-than-consistant reception.
UPSIDE: This one, like most Nokias, receives a consistently strong signal (I've tried some Samsung and Sony Ericsson models which were very weak on the reception front). I love the Bluetooth; easy to use with a wireless Jabra headset. Photos are pretty darned good!
DOWNSIDE: It takes a long time to start up. My last simpler Nokia started right up and was immediately ready for use. The "movies" last about 5 seconds. I mean, they're short! Why have the function if you can't film anything longer than e few seconds? I find this feature on this phone useless, but, since I don't really need this function anyway, I don't really use it. Also, when I dial an "800" number like an airline, it will not allow me to use number keys to navigatee the prerecorded menu. This is a MUST when you need to get flight times, connect to reservations, etc. Finally, after about a week's use, the screen started to freeze on me. It would not hang up on calls. Once it froze so bad I couldn't even use the power button to turn it off, and had to open and take out the battery.

Probably a great phone overall, and perhaps mine just has bugs. But beware of the bugs; they are major!

5.0 out of 5 stars i would give it 6 stars if i could, August 24, 2004

steve c (southwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia 6600 Phone (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

I used to work with t-mobile.. i have owned many phones with them such as v60, 6190, e715, 6610, v66, v205.... and the list can go on! but this by far is the best phone out there right now! yes it is a bit large, but the realestate on the screen will spoil you! i have a hard time using other phones with smaller screens!!! the OS is abit confusing at 1st, but within a few days you will pass this learning curve! \

I use this phone as my quick and dirty digital camera! the pics can be touched up in photoshop, and be printed at 4x6 and they look great! i also use the phone as my modem via bluetooth to my Apple powerbook! The speed is the same as dail up, where i live we do not have wifi everywhere so this is my version of it until we catch up. I have used this wireless internet almost everywhere i travel and it works great.

If you own an apple you can isync it to your address book so that you have all of you numbers in two places..... in case you lose your phone (get INSURACE)

the stand by is really good considering all the toys this phone has and the screen size! i would highly recommmend...... oh and i have owned this baby for like 6 months now

4.0 out of 5 stars Phone is solid, rebate criteria not, March 1, 2005

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Nokia 6600 Phone (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)

The phone itself is pretty nice. Camera quality isn't bad for the low resolution. Menu is a bit slow, but overall, phone is very functional.

But watch the Amazon rebates on these (T-Mobile rebate is fine). You have to wait to get your second bill before you can send the rebate form in. Depending on the timing of the postmark date, you don't get your second bill until the postmark date passes, so it's impossible to qualify for the rebate.
