Unfortunately the Nokia 6600 only has support for Bluetooth car kits.  

I've used a 6600 when working for a friend that has one and I must say
it was very disappointing. Along with the fact that so many people on
this newsgroup have problems with them I would think long an hard before
purchasing one.

They look good but lack several features that should have been standard
in such a phone. Also the lack of a Pop-port restricts the use of car
kits and other enhancements.

Now I've played with a friend's Nokia 6230 and was VERY happy with that,
shame it is not a series 60 phone. The camera on the 6230 is a vast
improvement on my Nokia 7250i phone.

Users that understand how to use such amazing bits of kit.

Users that can't afford them and slag them off, and users that don't
understand how to use them, and slag them off, it features already.

For one automatic key lock, like all the other latest Nokia's have.

no symbian nokias have auto keylock - 3650, 3660, 6600, 7650, n-gage.
i'm not sure about the 7610. 6600 can have though with additional
software.

well said... .the number of people I see asking the most basic
questions about the 6600 means they don't really know what they have
bought. Probably got it for a quid on contract and only got it to have
the latest Nokia..... I paid over £250 for mine when it first came out
and despite being on the 3rd handset I would not be without it.
I also use PC suite with Win XP SP 2 and had no problems whatsoever so
don't think that its an automatic problem with this setup as it isn't.
