Nokia announces glossy trio of handsets

Damian Koh | Apr 28, 2008

After a pair of new XpressMusic handsets last week, Nokia today unveiled another three more devices: The 6600 fold, 6600 slide and 3600 slide.

The Finnish giant is marketing these three phones as "beautiful to use" even though we think they look just like your regular handsets. According to Aki Laine, the man responsible for the 6600 fold, the clamshell phone is designed to fit the contours of your face (which sounds like the "banana" phone some years back) and there's no need to manually open the clamshell (there's a dedicated button to do that). The pictures of the 6600 slide, on the other hand, remind us of the current N81. Both the 6600 models feature a "tapping" function which can be used to silence and reject incoming calls, for instance.

The 3600 slide is supposedly the first Nokia phone to feature background noise cancellation and packs a 3.2-megapixel AF camera with dual LED flash lights and TV-out connectivity.

All three phones are expected to be available in Asia in Q3.
