plus point. screen
plus point. size
plus point. standard keypad layout

minus point. nothing the 3650 didn't do last year.
minus point. 'send and receive video!!!!!' very slowly over 2.5G.

it is the next nokia for me, but I don't particularly want it.

my history - 5110. upgrade to 6210 (gained HSCSD) to 8310 (gained GPRS) to
6510 (the 83 didn't work) to 3650 (gained colour, MMS BT etc).....

the 6600 isn't much of an upgrade on the 3650, but is vastly more attractive
than my 3650. the problem is that 3G was here last year, and I really don't
want to have to wait another year before I can use it. so I can't buy a
nokia this year. Upgrading to a 3650 made staying with my current 2.5G
network worth more than an infant 3G network. but here we are, a year down
the line, yet still the 'big 4' UK networks have NOTHING to compete with 3G.
There is no reason to stay with 2.5G, but nokia offers nothing else. when
plumbing was invented, did we still carry on walking to and from the well
every day for water, and then chuck it into the street? no. so why are we
still having 2.5G phones thrown at us? It looks like I will be forced to
migrate onto a new network, and get used to another manufacturers handset -
neither of which is an exciting prospect.

6600. great phone, had it been available last year. it's a bit like the
2100 - released 4 years after it was invented. there was no reason the 3650
couldn't have had a 65k screen, or 2x digital zoom (with 3rd party apps it
already has). 6MB of memory? still not enough to make a memory card an
option.

Multimedia should not be the prime reason for buying one though.. I really
like my 3650 (very similar to 6600 but in a goofy package) but completely NOT
for ANY of the reasons Nokia is touting it. I mostly like the internet
features, e.g. e-mail, browsing the web (Opera, or avantgo.com),
MSN/ICQ/Messengers (AgileMessenger) and all the weird apps for it.

MMS? Tried it once. Maybe twice, and that was mostly because friends or
collegues got an MMS capable phone and I got to be the lucky one for them to
test it out.

Ok I admit I like trying/recording weird ringtones and playing with taking
pictures that are really only usable for the joke of it and viewing it on the
phone screen. They're completely inadequate for real photography.
