Nokia's latest threesome; 6600 Fold, 3600 Slide and 6600 Slide

Nokia today announced three new mid-range handsets to join its upcoming N-Series releases in the third quarter of 2008.

Dubbed by Nokia as "beautiful to use", the 3600 Slide, 6600 Slide and 6600 Fold carry on Nokia's latest aesthetic trend of glossy plastic bodies with rounded edges.

The 6600 Slide and Fold will both support 3G mobile networks, while the 3600 Slide and 6600 Fold will both feature 3.2-megapixel cameras; however, unlike the previously announced Nokia handsets for release this year, none of these handsets will feature Wi-Fi or on-board GPS. The two Slide model phones will be sold with the latest version of Nokia Maps on a bundled MicroSD card, but will require a separate Bluetooth GPS receiver to make use of navigation functionality.

Nokia estimate that the 6600 Slide and 6600 Fold may retail for AU$420 and AU$460 respectively, while the 3600 Slide may sell for approximately AU$290.

      While the 6210 is solidly built and features fast performance, the lack of a lifetime subscription to turn-by-turn navigation robs the Navigator of what should make it unique in the market.

      There's nothing technically wrong with RAZR2 V9 Ferrari Special Edition but if you want to Ferrari-fie your phone there are cheaper and better ways of doing it. For free.

      It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.

      Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

      While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.
