PPC 6600 specifications

The Audiovox PPC 6600 is a notable smartphone that emerged in the early 2000s, distinguished for its unique blend of features, technologies, and usability. Targeted towards tech enthusiasts and business professionals, this device was one of the early contenders in the smartphone market, showcasing Qualcomm's technology and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile operating system.

At the heart of the PPC 6600 is the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system, which provided users with a familiar interface, allowing them to access various applications and functionalities. Its integration of Microsoft Office Mobile allowed users to view and edit Word and Excel documents on the go, making it a practical choice for professionals who needed mobility without sacrificing productivity.

The PPC 6600 is powered by a 400 MHz Qualcomm MSM5200 processor, which was quite competitive for its time, enabling smooth multitasking and efficient application performance. It boasts 64 MB of RAM and 128 MB of ROM, offering adequate storage for essential applications and user data. Additionally, the device supports expansion via SD cards, allowing for additional memory, which is essential for users handling larger files.

One of the standout features of the PPC 6600 is its 3.5-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. This display was characterized by the ability to handle both stylus input and finger gestures, giving users flexibility in navigation and interaction. The device also featured a unique slide-out keyboard, bridging the gap between touchscreen input and traditional typing, which appealed to users who favored tactile feedback.

Connectivity options on the PPC 6600 were versatile for its time, including Bluetooth, infrared, and a mini USB port, enabling users to connect to various peripherals and networks. The device also featured support for 802.11b Wi-Fi, allowing for fast internet access, which was a significant advantage in enhancing productivity on the move.

The PPC 6600 came equipped with a 1.3-megapixel camera, which, while basic by today's standards, provided users with the capability to capture memories and important documents. The device was powered by a removable lithium-ion battery, which offered reasonable battery life for daily tasks, although heavy users often needed to recharge more frequently.

In summary, the Audiovox PPC 6600 was a pioneering smartphone that successfully combined essential features, smart design, and early smartphone technology to cater to a growing audience of mobile professionals and tech-savvy users. With its comprehensive capabilities, it laid the groundwork for future smartphones, influencing the design and functionality of many devices that followed.
