Another unusual feature is the cellphone's build-in accelerometer, which allows users to do things like activate the time on the display or silence inbound calls simply by tapping on the cellphone twice.

The main display on the Nokia 6600 Slide is a 2.2" QVGA resolution screen that supports up to 16 million color shades.

Like most Nokia, powered devices, the Nokia 6600 Slide packs a built-in music player and Bluetooth support.
