Nokia 600 Cancelled Before Launch
Nokia had cancelled the Nokia 600 from its Symbian Belle line up. Symbian Belle was announced recently with Nokia 600, 700 and the 701 on August 25th during a special event in Hong Kong. Nokia hasn’t cited any major reason why the phone is being canned. But as per EldarMurtazin, who has good track record with Nokia leaks, the phone got pulled because operators and retailers simply didnt order enough stock to make it worth Nokia’s while. Thats just his word though. All Nokia is officially saying is that “after careful consideration we have decided not to ship the Nokia 600 to markets” and that they are refining the portfolio. Thats it. The product pages, developer docs and even the promo videos on Youtube have quietly gone away.
Honestly, the 600 was a neat little phone on paper. 1GHz processor, 3.2 inch screen, 5MP camera with 720p video, NFC, an FM transmitter and the loudest speaker Nokia ever put in a smartphone at 106 Phons, all for 180 Euros before taxes. But then the Nokia 603 came along with a bigger screen and the same 1GHz and NFC for just 20 Euros more, so we can see why operators werent exactly lining up for the 600. If you were waiting for it in India, thats the end of that. Sad to see a phone die even before hitting the shelves!!
