Add-on applications enhance the rich feature set ideally suited for business
and enterprise needs


Designed for a multitasking, mobile workforce, the Nokia 6600 phone has
started shipping. In addition to the advanced business features and
sophisticated imaging functionality, the Nokia 6600 introduces a range of
complimentary applications in Europe including a full web browser and the
possibility to upload and order prints of your favorite pictures or print to
a local printer with Bluetooth connection.

With the new phone, Nokia introduces Try&Buy concept in Europe and Africa
region, allowing consumers and corporations to test a selection of new
applications available in the standard sales package*. Accessible via the
removable 32MB multimedia memory card included in the sales package, all the
new applications can be tried three times after which consumers can opt to
purchase an application they wish to continue using. The applications can be
purchased at www.softwaremarket.nokia.com and from retail outlets around
Europe.
