I got my hands on the new Nokia 6600 version and it really was a trip down memory lane. The phone really reminded me of the early mobile pioneers, but the nuance of technology has improved and respect is paid to the previous version. The phone is still in the same old circle-shaped compact design with a good thickness and a metal feel but has been improved in terms of materials and made really good quality. The interface is simple and quickly responsive, without any extra things you won't use or crowded features which facilitate the operations. It doesn't want to get involved with the top-notch big phones, and that's the thing making it likable—it puts an emphasis on the basic things such as the phone's call quality, the battery life, and the easy use of it. The camera is not going to make you ditch the professional camera at home, but it will make good of the normal, casual photography. However, the typing on the keypad took me some time to go back to, and it was incredibly satisfying after using a touchscreen for so many years. But in my opinion, the biggest plus was the battery that simply lasted even for several days without charging, something that is quite a rare event with today's devices. To cut a long story short, this is not a flashy phone—this is a real, definitely good phone without any fancy features, and it feels like going back to the old days of a simple conversation. However, it can be a great addition for someone looking just for a supportive device, aside from being a big and beautiful technological integration. It’s not about specifications, performances, or speed tests; it’s about charm and reliability, and that's enough. In fact, using the new version of the Nokia 6600 was more like paying a visit to an old reliable friend who has become more experienced and has a better taste of the world.
