Nokia introduced a trio of new phones today. All are quad-band GSM/EDGE and run the Series 40 platform. They each have an FM radio, Bluetooth and slots for microSD cards. All three will be available in the third quarter.

• 6600 Fold: Similar to the 6555, the 6600 Fold creates a single contour when opened. The front panel features a hidden display that wakes up if you tap the surface of the phone twice. It will then reveal message alerts and other info. Tapping it twice will also put it back to sleep and silence alerts or reject calls. It adds 850/2100 dual-band WCDMA and is compatible with video calling services. It has a 2 megapixel camera and can shoot VGA video. It will cost $430.
• 6600 Slide: The Slide also includes the double-tapping feature and dual-band WCDMA, but boosts the camera up to 3.2 megapixels and includes a 2 LED flash. It comes preloaded with Nokia Maps, and has a 2.2 inch QVGA display. It will cost $390.
• 3600 Slide: The 3600 keeps the 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, and adds autofocus for better image capturing. It also adds background noise cancellation--a first for Nokia--but drops the 3G radios altogether. It comes with the Opera Mini browser and also has a TV out jack. It will cost $275.
