With one touch of a button, the 6600 Fold smoothly opens to reveal a bright 2.13-inch OLED screen displaying up to 16 million colors. With the signature "smooth back," the 6600 Fold creates a comfortable contour when open, and remains subtle and compact when closed. The high-gloss surface comes to life when tapped twice to "wake up" the hidden outer display that reveals time, incoming messages, missed calls and more. A double tap on the 6600 Fold also snoozes alerts and silences or rejects incoming phone calls.

Contemporary mobile features such as 3G technology for fast and easy sharing of pictures and videos snapped with the integrated 2.0-megapixel camera with double LED flash. Additional functions include access to Internet services such as Yahoo! Go or Flickr.

The Nokia 6600 Fold has an estimated retail price of 275 EUR ($430 USD) excluding taxes and subsidies and is expected to start shipping during the third quarter of 2008.
