The 6600 is a little on the heavy side, but it's Symbian OS platform runs flawlessly & works great with both my PDA (a Palmone Zire 31) & tablet PC (win xp). There are shed loads of software & games available for it & its S60 cousins (look for Series60 software &.sis files).

I did encounter a few issues with Bluetooth, but these were resolved. The 6600 is an ideal tool for the travelling professional & will find itself a home with anyone who wants more than just mp3s & texts from their phone. Highly recommended.

Whoever was complaining about too many texts to delete.

On my 6600 I simply 'mark all' texts then click on 'delete' & it zaps all the texts - although N80 is a different phone I would have thought it worked the same way?

Phil.

I like also my Nokia 6600 but I have now the feeling that I want a new one, because of the size... now I'm looking for a cheap new one for a while, does somebody know about the SE320i? I never had a Sony Ericsson before. Is SE ok?

6600 is full of exciting & fun features like Bluetooth, email, camera & video plus fun games. I like the size of it & although it is a bit larger than most dinky phones on the market the size is easy to operate & feels nice. I would of liked some music on it with a MP3 player & radio.

Good value phone & feel I had a really good buy with the Nokia 6600. Good deal & good features. The 6600 works brilliantly & would advise people to spend a little more to get all the good features.

6600 has got lots of features but I feel it is too bulky for me & my next phone will have to be a bit more compact & discrete. The phone works well but the size makes it a bit clumsy to carry around.

Had the phone a while & I cant fault the features in any way but my two complaints would have to be the size & the battery. A bit on the big side & the battery lets the phone down on talk time.

Great looking phone & the screen is good quality. The camera is great but the video recorder could last a bit longer would be better to call it a video clip rather than a recorder.

The start up is slow on the Nokia 6600 which can be a pain. The phone tends to hang in the middle of a request & that caused frustration. I feel I am sometimes requesting things too quickly for the phone to cope with & therefore the phone just gives up.
