One problem: it's for Americas meaning it uses 850/1800/1900 bands, Nokia f**ks with us Europeans for a change. Although I have a feeling they will give Europe something similar with a few extras at CeBIT
Examples of new features over 6600:
-EDGE (first in a Series 60 phone)
-Presence enhanced contacts
-E-wallet
-Stereo MP3 player
-12MB internal memory
-Opera included in all versions
-new design

As usual-the same strategy where they sell u the same thing while u pay an extra 200$ for a few add ons they could've added 6 months ago.

LOL, you can't link foto's from Mobile Burn.
This is typical Nokia yeah. I hope for the 6600 users that a firmware update will give them the same specs. Btw. this one looks so much better then the 6600. (Although it's the same design
)

Id xpect nothing less from nokia. Its called the i disease
Posted by Flying Finn
It's not the i disease as we know it, there was going to be a 850MHz version of the 6600 for NA, just like 3650 > 3600 and 3660 > 3620, only this time they made significant SW/HW improvements as well and not just change the bands.

I think the new look is ugly..and the color is gross... but come one..the cam shudl be better and the they shoudl have made it quad band
Posted by Flying Finn
That's not the only colour, it also comes in all white (and maybe all black?).

Whatever u say but i don't see it as an improvement but rather a NEW phone from Nokia. U see,i bet they call it 'a new phone for North America' when actualy is an old overpriced phone with some add ons!' only this time they try the old scam with them american fellows! Hihi

So, according to you it's not enough to call it a new phone, if it has different HW/SW in it? Or is the HW same as covers to you? In your theory there are no new phones coming anymore or it's really rare. Almost all phones published today are based on to already existing software. That's how the software development works. No vendor is stupid enough to build a phone software from the zero. There's always the base software, unless they are creating a whole new platform.

The spec is really so attractive. I simply like to use Series 60 and I want a stereo MP3 player in my 6600 so badly.
I still think the looking of 6600 is very good and much better than 6620 (because 6620 is designed to match the taste of Amercian, but I'm not). I am really looking forward to announcements of new Series 60 phones by Nokia.

All i am saying is that they use a platform to build 10 phones.For example, in 2002 they`ve used 4 platforms to launch 32 models..they r cheap...as a company, i mean. U buy 'em cuz i won't;-)

And the other vendors don't have even 4 platforms to which produce phones. Why there should be a limit in producing phones?

You quickly forget about T630 obviously.... (just an example among quite a few). Oh, but no, T630 has no add-on vs T610, just a new plastic cover.
Anyway, a very nice phone!

cool! i'll be getting one once it becomes available then move to at&t.

Im sure we'll c this phone in europe called the 6600i
Posted by Eulogy
Really smart of nokia actually. First they release 6600 with mono sound so people can complain because they know the gadget freaks wants stereo sound and mp3 compitability and now they will probably release a 6600i with the things that the 6600 lacked. They know that people who has a 6600 will buy the 6600i because of the new things such as stereo sound and so on.

@super g: the t630 is an improved version of the t610(stn screen )but u have to remember that the 630 comes a year later and with a tft screen-so it ain't no face lift. Nokia is the specialist in facelifts and plastic:-D

701:
So when Nokia introduces new phone (6620) to new market that doesn't have the old phone (6600) while same time making significant improvements (EDGE, Stereo MP3, 12MB memory, etc) it is called facelift -> bad. Only because this upgrade is done withing 6 months makes it unacceptable, even when people who own 6600 don't even have chance of getting 6620 because they are sold in different markets.
When SE introduces new phone (T630) that has better screen compared to old phone (T610), but releases it one year later then it's called new phone and fully acceptable even they sell it in same market.
Am I missing something here?

@anon:actually u do miss a lot. U should read what i said earlier in the thread about nokia being really cheap by launching 10 phones while keeping features for the next i version(damn,i repeat myself). This is what u'd seen..and i didn't started the comparation with the t610.
