Can't be called an awesome phone, but it's a nice phone.
Reviewer: Mike - UK
Date: 25th May 2009
Really nice phone to use, excellent menu system, but one MAJOR problem, Picking up a signal anywhere is nearly impossible. If you want my advice, great looking phone, easy to use, but what's the point when you can't get a signal.
Reviewer: Martin - UK
Date: 18th Apr 2009
Hi folks, got this phone January 2009 direct from 3. Phone looks & feels great, really small & fits anywhere. My main complaint is the same as most people, the BACKLIGHT TIME OUT! Absolute waste of time? Try reading a text & off it goes!
I have checked all settings etc & web sites, it appears it is factory set time, what a silly over sight! You have to slide screen to reactivate light.
Other odd problem, LOSS OF SIGNAL, sometimes I get full strength then it drops off & loses network completely. I would say it is because phone is so small it does not receive well? On saying that I wanted a small easy to use phone & it is just that! Easy to use & tons of features even I do not use? !
If you want small & light (half a joke there) then yes go for it! I will run mine for now & see what comes up in the future!
Hope review helps. Martin.

I was SOLD this phone two weeks ago. It looks pretty boring & the battery life is awful too. & where is the loudspeaker option for listening to the radio? That was never the problem with even the most basic Nokia phones! Hate the ugly double corded headphone & jack that comes with it. It has so many wires hanging from a tiny phone to listen to one radio. & why won't my home wifi make the Internet connection start? Which means I can't use any web features now :(. Please tell me if I paid so much for nothing (Sony W595 came at lower price)?

At first I loved this phone, it looked good & had everything I needed on it, then after about 3 months the inner screen cracked & the whole thing went black.
Overall I loved it but I won't get it again because it is just too flimsy especially at the stables.
Oh & it gets dirty really quickly even when I cleaned it once a week.
Reviewer: Emily - UK
Date: 18th Mar 2009
Me & my fiancé have now had 4 of these phones in a month! Both return faulty after 2 weeks, slide function loose & main speaker blown, replacement phones are now also going back. Again speaker blew on one & the slide is loose on other! I've not received many problems with signal but yes backlight useless, smudges galore & generally feels in poor condition. My phone provider did let it slip they have received many back with speaker faults so beware!

I have had this phone about month now. I love the design of the phone. Quite small & good material & heavy wait. But when I bought this phone I am having few problem.
- Signal problem. I used to use other Nokia they did lot good signal. Signal drops so quick.
- When you touch the phone you leave spot on the phone.
- Battery life is not very good.
Other than that it's small compact good looking 3G phone.
Reviewer: Ben - UK

By far in a way the worst phone I have ever had. Feels flimsy when you slide it open, battery life is a joke. The signal for some reason is nonexistent in places I get full signal with my 3 year old Sony Ericsson W810i (a far superior phone in every way). The texting is just plain awkward & the keys are so small & cramped at the bottom of the phone that my thumb aches after writing a message, oh & I switched the predictive text off because it's just not intuitive whatsoever. Looked nice & sleek when I opened the box & after 5 days it was back looking nice & sleek in its box & being shipped back from whence it came. Avoid this phone like the plague!
Reviewer: Juan Tamad - Ireland
Date: 15th Feb 2009
This is a sleek & easy to use mobile phone with features good enough to be called a GREAT mobile phone. I can't give 100% rating to this phone but it's absolutely a Class A mobile phone.
Reviewer: Gainz - London, UK
Date: 5th Feb 2009
I have had the phone for a month & upgraded from 6500 Slide. I honestly think the 6500 Slide is a better phone overall. The 6600 Slide is smaller & lighter & much nicer to hold & use, but it tends to have a slight lag when moving around in menus or contacts. The 3.2 MP camera is not as good as the 3.2 mp Carl Zeiss camera on the 6500. I took some fantastic photos on holiday & I honestly can say that the pictures were better than even the N95 8GB I had for a short time (hated that phone)!
Both phones have some flaws & it's a matter of overall preference but the 6600 Slide is still a great Nokia phone.

Perfect phone for me.
Reviewer: Dave - UK

I bought this phone SIM free in Singapore in September. Used it there on single prepay. Worked perfectly. On return to UK went on Vodafone SIM only monthly plan. Full signal & have had no trouble with it. Great screen, clear & bright, very nice slide, smooth action. Manual says call volume increased & decreased by scroll key left & right. This is wrong, its scroll key up & down. Ringtone volume a little low, but I just uploaded my ringtone onto laptop & used Nero wave editor to ramp up the volume. To stop scratches & fingerprint smudges I purchased an Invisible shield total body protector. A great phone, used every day at work in a dusty atmosphere. Recommended.
Reviewer: Me - UK

Good simple phone BUT it gets a rubbish signal everywhere, I have always had Nokia's & been on t mobile & never had a problem, with the 6600 I couldn't get a signal in my house.
Agree backlight is short.
I also couldn't get it to just vibrate for a text & the vibrate is the weakest vibrate ever! I couldn't feel it at all.
Shame Nokia have messed up with a nice simple phone, now I have to get the brick of an N95.
I sent mine back, too many flaws but the POOR signal was too much of a fault to be overlooked.
Reviewer: LG - London, UK
Date: 20th Nov 2008
My phone arrived this morning. The tap feature doesn't work & it keeps on opening up the Internet all by itself, expensively. So it has gone back.
Reviewer: Mara - Treorchy, UK
Date: 2nd Nov 2008
Has a major flaw with the length of the backlight, 10 seconds! Nice looking phone, signal is rubbish, can't make a call when your out as signal will just drop, no crackling or warning. Had two phones (as one was faulty, so I thought) & sent them both back. AVOID.
Reviewer: Dave - UK
Date: 2nd Nov 2008
Had this phone for 3 days before I returned it. When you first take it out of the box it looks slick & has a great weight & feel to it. The 6600 Slide is compact, shiny & curvy. You'll need to watch out for fingerprints as this phone is probably the worse I have seen for smudges & fingerprints.
Function wise there is not a lot of difference between this & the 6500 slide apart from the 6600 slide having a superior screen.
My main issues with this phone apart from it being a fingerprint magnet are as follows & I have found out that these are common problems & not just me being picky.
- Speaker makes a pooping sound when set to ring & vibrate.
- Backlight has no time settings.
- Backlight only remains on for a few seconds.
- Keypad lights & sensors are intermittent.
- Fingerprint magnet (Worse I have seen on a phone).
- No volume toggle.
I was really looking forward to getting this phone & wanted to like this but alas it had to go back.
Reviewer: Mark Edwardson - Congleton, Cheshire, UK

I've had two of them, both far worse at picking up a signal than 6120. Victory of design over function. Avoid.
Reviewer: Colin - Newcastle, UK

This phone has a very simple layout but still a very sleek phone.
