The Nokia 6600 Slide is an excellent basic phone for those who do not need all the advanced applications of a Windows Mobile, SmartPhone or BlackBerry.

It offers basic telephone, text and camera functions, and comes with Nokia Maps pre-installed (although no GPS). The phone's slider design makes it compact enough to easily fit into a pocket or bag, and the Nokia operating system will be familiar to anyone that has used the earlier generation of Nokia phones.
