![]() Now, I knew this going into the show but when it happens on TV and there is no going back, all your practice goes out the window. Robert then countered with $500k for 20%. Robert wanted something cool and I think footwear intrigued him as well. I fought through a few of those questions with Kevin and Lori going out. I knew valuation was going to be an issue. They each took them out of the box and a few tried them on, walked around in them, and commented on how comfy they were to wear. We had a pair of slides personalized for each Shark. I passed out the samples to each shark and they loved them. I thought the opening pitch went really well. "Hello Sharks, my name is." And we are off and running. No one says anything and there are 400 cameras everywhere.įinally, I hear someone yell “3…. Here I am looking at the Sharks and the Sharks are staring back at me. They have you stand in one spot for about 30 seconds to set the moment. It was surreal and crazy walking down to the stage. If they didn't go in together, then I was going to ask them to as part the deal. I went on Shark Tank thinking Daymond and Mark were going to both fall in love with our customized slide sandals and decide to go in together. Barbara Corcoran was a true shark, Daymond John wanted to invest in cool even though he said he didn't and Mark Cuban, well I could never figure out Mark. Kevin O'Leary is the guy who loves giving everyone a hard time. I also THOUGHT I knew WHY each deal was done or not done. I knew every startup that went on the show and pitched and knew the outcomes. The stress of the moment came from having watched every episode on for the first 7 seasons of Shark Tank. Yes, this includes any test that I have ever taken for school. We've made it safely to the first jump, so you get ready to head to the next page, while we bring up the Nokia 6600i slide retail box and prepare to look inside.Going on Shark Tank in September 2016 was far and away the most stressed I have ever been. ![]() ![]() Neat and friendly is the name of the game If we were to upgrade from Nokia 6600 slide, we'd probably be considering Symbian - or maybe an all-in-one feature phone like the 6260 slide.Īccordingly, the real job of the 6600i slide is to pick up the customers the original missed and serve the Nokia midrange more in keeping with the time. In that sense, the last people to be viewed as potential customers are current 6600 slide owners. The 3G-enabled 6600 slide can do without WLAN and a better camera will perhaps serve its market better.Īnyway, "i" models are incremental updates - they build on the previous device rather than turn it into something completely new. And by the way, Nokia might have a point. Yes, it added Wi-Fi to its predecessor's feature set but that can really be seen as an exception and was meant for select markets only. Just remember the 6300 - it did wonders for the Finns, so the 6300i followed in due course. And we're not pointing fingers here - if you have a massive seller the first thing on your mind would be to keep it rolling. It's like Nokia saying: here's a phone that sells big, so be our guest - keep on buying it. No need to tell you, the "i" in any Nokia model designation is there to save face. Loudspeaker loudness is only marginally improved.No multi-tasking, especially uncomfortable in Ovi Contacts and the social networking applications.No 3.5 mm audio jack or a two-piece headset in the box.Memory card slot under the battery, no hot-swap.Poor browser and no Opera Mini preinstalled.Accelerometer for tap-for-time and tap-to-mute.Sweet oval shapes and neat slider design.Really compact and extra smooth metal body.Ovi Contacts, Share on Ovi, YouTube, MySpace and Facebook applications preinstalled.microSD card slot (up to 16 GB), 1GB included.5 megapixel camera, autofocus and LED flash.Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, dual-band UMTS.Alright, the 6600i slide is a no-frills package overall, but don't go saying we didn't warn you. The consciously minimalist design of the original didn't leave much room for frills anyway. Looks have changed just a bit and we honestly think they did it right. Slightly revamped, it brings a beefier camera and a new paintjob to boot. ![]() ![]() The seemingly more popular sibling got an update and the 6600i slide will keep on cashing in. A while back Nokia released the 6600 pair - the slide and the fold - which we fell for, big time. ![]()
