I'm having problem with my Nokia 6600 OS. Is it possible to reinstall OS to 6600? If so what do I need?

Just reformat your phone, this is like a fresh installation.
From the FAQ:

Q: How do I format my phone?
A: - Normal Reset (*#7780#) : Restores ini files from rom but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc)
- Deep Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.
In both case, the phone will ask you a confirmation and you will have to enter a security code (12345 by default).
Files and applications stored on E: drive are not be affected by these sequences.
For Symbian OS 7 (6260/6600/6620/6670/7610) there is a third method:
Turn phone off, press and hold the green (talk) key on the left + number 3 on the keypad + the * key and then turn the phone back on.
The phone will start the formatting process without confirmation!
Files and applications stored on E: drive are not be affected by this.

Than you either don't have a Symbian OS phone and mistaken it or your problem comes from the memory card which is left untouched.
And if you say "It does not work for me" I surely know exactly what you've done and and why it is not working...

I will explain the problem for you: What the problem is...
When I switch my 6600 on, it shows the white screen with "NOKIA" and again it restarts. It does not show the desktop or load the OS successfully.
So I guess reflashing will solve the problem.. what do you think?
Any help is appreciated. thanks.

Try booting without the memory card.
Sometimes a faulty memory card can prevent the phone from booting.

ok, tried booting to safe mode?
Hold down the pencil key until you've to enter the PIN code.
If this all doesn't work: take it to a Nokia Care Center, there seems to be no home solution.

Have you at least tried reading what I read? Otherwise you wouldn't ask.
