The Nokia 8600 is a quad-band handset, made to be a luxury phone because of its unique sliding design. The frame is made of stainless steel with chrome accents, and a glass covering for the keypad, which is supposed to glow because of backlighting when the glass cover is closed. The display is supposed to be very bright and has 16 million colors. The 8600 also features an mp3 player and FM radio receiver. It has a 2.0-megapixel digital camera, also hidden until the cover is slid down, with video capture and landscape mode. The phone allows SMS, MMS, email and instant messaging, can access the Internet, and includes Bluetooth wireless technology. It also comes with a leather polishing cloth, leather pouch, neck strap and headset.
