Nokia 1661 User Reviews

I have been using this mobile for the last 3 months and I am quite satisfied with it. Its speed is high enough to send 400 texts in 10-15 minutes and that was the most important functions I always require from my mobile because I am a heavy user of mobile. The battery timing is excellent, vibration is good enough to make you alert as if your mobile is silent in the pocket. Ringing volume is excellent. The major problem with this mobile is that if you use the message listing then its speed is a bit less than normal. I will recommend this phone to all those people looking for a basic phone.

A simple no frills phone. Ideal if you just want a second phone as a spare or for those who don't want an expensive contract with a phone featuring loads of extras you will never use.

Very good battery life on this phone, one charge lasts a week. Nice colour screen which is sizable considering this is such a small phone. The graphics are surprisingly good too. It has 3 games; Sudoku, beach rally and snake xenzia. Beach rally is fantastic. It's just a simple car racing game but I used to love this game back in the 80s.

Phone also features an FM radio which is only accessible if you plug the earphones in. I've not used this feature but it is still quite useful to have on a phone. There is no MP3 player or camera. You can't access the internet and it doesn't have bluetooth functionality.

The back of the phone is difficult to get off which only really becomes a problem if you are taking your SIM card out all the time. Useful other features include a flashlight and stopwatch. Quite a few ring tones to choose from too.

Good basic phone. No camera, bluetooth, etc, but for the price this shouldn't be expected. Big display, some nice features, e.g. stop clock, torch, weight converter. Light and slim and battery life is good.

On the minus side it has two big problems for me, which is why I've marked it down. Firstly the back is impossible to get off in order to get at the battery and sim. Secondly the keys become really clunky after a while, if you do a lot of texting and you can hear a kind of crinkly sound behind them.

In summary it is good for a cheap phone. Basic and easy to understand, some really nice features and good display. But don't buy if if you do a lot of texting.

A cheap and basic phone for those who simply want a phone to do what it was originally intended: talk and text. No camera or frills, just FM radio. Slim handset with a large screen and large buttons make it easy to use. Excellent battery life for the price.

Just wanted a small, simple mobile for occasional calls on pay as you go and this certainly fits the bill. Very impressed with styling and ease of use. Only one gripe, I had to take the phone into Carphone Warehouse as I found it impossible to remove the back to insert battery and sim (back totally smooth). It took 3 people before one managed it, so not just me, otherwise, a great product.
