Nokia 6700 Slide deals & review

In a word or two

The Nokia 6700 Slide is vibrant in colour and functionality.

The Design

The look of the Nokia 6700 Slide phone is striking, coming in a full-body colour which is complemented by the black of the slide-down keypad. You can choose between pink, red, petrol blue, aluminium, lime and purple for your phone’s exterior.

Whichever colour you choose, you will appreciate the quality metallic finish to the case and the overall solid feel of the mobile. The 2.2 inch screen of the Nokia 6700 Slide displays up to 16 million colours and can effortlessly show-off your photos and videos in high resolution. The keys below the screen match the case colour with just the main navigation key being outlined in black for further distinction.

When you slide the keypad down, the simplicity of the keypad is revealed – its plain nature serves to highlight the contrast with the phone’s exterior and also ensure the keys are finger-friendly for swift calling and messaging.

The sense of luxury and quality that the Nokia 6700 Slide gives off is confirmed by the branding of the camera lens on the back of the phone – Carl Zeiss.
