Go for 6600. The sx1 keypad alone can ruin everything

The only thing worse about the SX1 is the keypad. In every other department it is equal to or better than the 6600. Software should work on either phone

Nokia 6600 and Siemens SX1 are both series60 phones. Applications for 6600 can also run in SX1. The advantage of 6600 is that it has bigger internal memory, if i'm not mistaken 6MB compared to 4MB for SX1. However, SX1 has radio and the camera has 4xZoom compared to 2x in 6600. MP3player can be downloaded in 6600. So, both of them can play MP3.

as i was reading this topic, i was really laughing because some peeps here didn't know what they're talking, i have been also trying to post a topic that compares 6600 and sx1 and after learning facts and figures about these phones, i find SX1 as a sure winner if it isn't for the keypad...Siemens sx1 has greater in-built memory than 6600, it has 24mb which is expandable up to 512mb via mmc while 6600 i guess has around 6mb...sx1 has video recorder that records video alone for 5 mins and if audio is incorporated it will record up to 1 min duration--which is way better than 6600, though you can download an application for both that records video with audio limited to the memory since they're both symbian series 60...And it's true that sx1 has a built in radio, built in natural loud speaker, mp3 player...sx1 is more expensive( 6600-18,500 PESOS; SX1-21,000 PES0S) than the 6600 here in our country, but sx1 comes with data cable while 6600 doesn't...I find sx1 more hi-tech and good looking than 6600...

SX1 only has 4Mb memory usable and not 24Mb (as rumoured way before SX1 was released). think u r way outdated.

btw 6600 has more software compatibilty than SX1. due to way in which sx1 handles display, quite a lot 3650/7650/6600 software cannot run on sx1.

one such example is the software that provide unlimited video recording with sound which works on 6600 but not SX1.

Don't mistake the 6600 as having stereo MP3 support when you download an mp3 application because it doesn't. I used to have one and the sound quality is shit in mono with the headphones. My 6230 craps all over the mp3 capabilites of the 6600. So in this instance as far as MP3 support goes the sx1 wins hands down!

also note that the SX1 uses Series 60 1.0 where as the 6600 uses Series 60 2.0 user interface, which in my personal opinion is much better.
