Nokia 3660

Is Nokia 3660 a good phone? Worth the money or is there a other phone that you would recommend me instead?

I'm really considering to buy one but hasn't been able to find a revew on it. If there is any, please post them here
__________________
3660 has not been released yet...

it is basically a minor upgrade of 3650 with a better and more functional keypad

i recommend you 6600 !

But the 6600 cost a little bit more. It cost 2000 SEK more which is around 210ˆ.

I've seen 3660 at some webshop , but it is possible that you just can order it even if it stand "buy"

I've read some comparisions between the two phones ( 3660 and 6600 ) and I couldn't find anything necessary on the 6600 which 3660 missed.

And even if it's not released yet it will be before X-mas according to the swedish Nokiasite
__________________
I really need help with this problem.

What does N6600 so much more expensive then N3660?

I know it's just Nokia in this forum but which is to prefer between N3660 and SET610?

You who have N3650 is its size irritating? That is the biggest minus for me.
__________________
n6600 has more internal memory, true tones, themes...

i know somebody who has this phone (3650) and doesn't care about the size, the features makes everything good he clames, it's big but it just not to big, i've worked with it and it feel good, but i like smaller phones,
the N3660 is for youth people, and the 6600 is for the bussinessman, so that's also a reason of the price differences

ya....E700....sate some differences between 3660 and 6600 please?....I think everyone wish to know that...!!!
__________________
I have bought 3660 now and am very pleased.

The only major differences , apart from the look, is that 6600 has "themes" and true tones.

I have a little problem with my 3660.

I've downloaded a MP3 player from the net and it works wonderfully but all the songs seems to be saved on the telephone memory. Because of that I can only have 2 songs at the time. If I want a new I've to delete one of the old ones.

So.. if someone knows how to move the songs to the memory card, please write it here.

Excuse my bad english, I'm only 13 and from Sweden

1)RF/signal...compared to 6600?
2)compatability of apps n games with 3650?
3)screen compared to 6600?
4)battery?

I hav 3660 & 6600, so i can compare...

First of all the reception/signal...

I use my 6600 mostly, and its very reliable... the reception, is very gd, the 3660's reception is also gd... but i would say the 6600 is slightly better... i hav both side by side... sometimes the 3660 loses sum signal... but 6600 very rarely... unless in big department stores, cos of security...

I would say the 6600 has SLIGHTLY better reception... but not much difference...

Compatability of apps n games in 3660 with 3650...

Hmmm... i've had no problems with compatibilty... The 3660 seems 2 b compatible with every 3650 application and game... the 3660 in terms of compatibilty is the identical to 3650... with some improvements...

3660 screen & 6600 screen...

The screens seem to b a CLONE... i c no difference wat so ever... just 1 thing though... in da night the 6600 seems 2 b more brighter... dunno y, but just seems more brighter... o yea, and also the 6600 screen is slighly closer to casing, than 3660, but i think this is rare... some other 6600's ive seen, their screen is further away... the closer it is, the better... i suppose i am just lucky...

The resolution is also the same... 176x208... i think both 3660 & 6600 use same screen...

Battery...

The 6600's battery has a higher standby than 3660... the 6600 battery last's me bout 10 days... the 3660 bout 7 days... dis is when i dont use the fone much... if i use the cam & video alot & make loadza calls... the 6600 lasts bout 5 days... 3660 bout 3 days...

The 6600 battery is definitely better!!!

Differences...

Well... differences i hav noticed between 6600 & 3660 r:

* Style of course!! lol
* Battery: 6600 has longer standby than 3660...
* Memory: 6600 has 6mb... 3660 has 3.4mb
* Weight: 6600 is lighter @ 122g... 3660 @ 130g... 6600 DOES feel lighter...
* Size: 6600 is smaller of course!!! 6600 = 109 x 58 x 24 mm... 3660 = 130 x 57 x 26 mm
* Frequency: 6600 is GSM... 3660 is EGSM...
* Talktime: 6600 bout 4hrs... 3660 bout 3/3.5hrs
* Memory card supplied with fone: 6600 has 32 MB memory card supplied with fone... 3660 has 16 MB memory card supplied...
* True tones: 6600 has true tones... 3660 does NOT...
* Themes: 6600 has 3 pre-installed themes... 3660 NONE!
* TCP/IP: 6600 has TCP/IP capability... i dont think 3660 has...
* Charger: 3660 supports the Travel Charger ACP-8... the 6600 only Travel Charger ACP-12...
* Ringtones: 6600 has more built-in ringtones (32)... 3660 has 16!
* Phonebook: 6600 has MORE phonebook memory (500)... 3660 has 200...

Thatz bout it i think... 3660 is very gd fone... but not as gd as 6600...

ne comments/questions r welcome!

Of course the 6600 is a better phone ( if even just a bit) but I don't think it justifys the price difference. Its about 120 ˆ in Sweden

the sound volume on the 3660 is gd... louder than 6600... the volume on the 3660 is above average... the 6600 is below average... but the quality on 3660 is not very impressive.... i'd say the 6600 has the best sound quality but not volume...

when surfin da net on the 3660, low ram shouldn't b that much of a problem! however if u browse 4 a long time or surf multiple sites its a pain... with my 6600 i can surf veryyyyy long and browse mulitple sites without a problem... Opera browser takes up a hell lotta ram on da 3660... i find it a pain 4 browsing the net freely...
If u surf multiple sites & browse 4 long time den 3660 will make u pull u hair... the 6600 gives u more freedom when it comes to surfin... But if ur an average mobile surfer the 3660 will do...

my 3660 has an Orange express-on cover... it came with blue... Orange is alot more attractive!!!

hope dis helps ya...

oh.... i didnt realise dat...

ne way... comparin 6620 & 6230???

6620 is better... i hav tested the 6230... its has very gd specs... but very very poor screen!!!

the 6620 all da specs of 6230 and some extras!!! And the screen is the besttttt of course!!!!

I would go 4 the 6620 definetaly... even if they gave me 6230 with £150 cashback i wouldn't buy it... 6620 is a very gd improvement/upgrade of 6600 4 the us... its a mercedes...

i would advise u to get 6620 100%... u wont regret it!!!!

E-700,

thank u very much

I hope u were refering to the ringtones volume when u mentioned that 3660 is louder than 6600 but with less quality.

I guess the low Ram issue is still there on 3660 just like the 3650,they only changed the screen n keypads!!

btw,the 3660 also got a black original face/cover which gives the phone a smaller look!

regards,
Ron.

I am considering between 3660 and 6600...I really have no idea which to purchase....since both of them just slightly different but the price has big different...!!!

What is true tones which 6600 has but 3660 doesn't?

Can 3660 plays mp3 same as 6600 too?

Does 3660 using VGA camera which 6600 is using?

Can 3660's camera zoom?

Can both 3660 and 6600 record any voice by the recorder and set as ringtones?

E700...please help.... :P
__________________
BTW, the other significant difference between the 3660 and 3650 is the screen- 65536 colours vs 4096 colours
__________________
actually it is not muh different on the screen...although 3650 is 4096 and 3660 is 65000....almost the same quality...6600 has the best screen...
__________________
You really think that 65K doesn't offer much of an advantage over 4096?
__________________
I am just comparing the 4096 screen of 3650 with the 65k screen of 3660...I found it not much different between both screens...I am using a 6600...and I found that my 6600 65k screen is much more better than 3660 65k screen...that's all...
__________________
For menu's and writing text a 4K vs 65k doesn't make that much difference, but for watching a clip or images, and even take images, the difference is just huge.
much more colors...
the disavantage is that it comsumes more battery, but not very much more, and it's more expencive than a 4k
__________________
but 3660 65k colour screen is not as perfect as u think...it is not much different compare to 3650 4k screen...I tested it by myself...

help meee!!!

i just bought a nokia3300 and the phone all of a sudden stopped playing ringtones and music files on the loudspeaker, although wheny i lock my keypad i hear a normal sound... i am guessing that the speakerphone got somehow muted, but i don't know how to unmute it... so please help me asap, the phone is old only 2 days...


__________________
well what can i say. next time you buy a phone, look at the forums and reviews, you'll see nokia is a bad phone company.

if i wear you i would go back to the place where you bought it, let them fix it, or maby ask your money back

except this, this phone is everything i need in a phone...

I believe he/she was looking for help instead of an opinion of what phone to buy...

silkk
Have you check whether you (by any chance) have muted the tones sound by selecting silent or sort of???
If it wasn't, just take your phone to the NOKIA's service center to get it fix... Simple as that...

6600 in action! 8 minutes of video

you will need RealOne player to play this 4 Mb video (in French)
http://membres.lycos.fr/webmobilesite/6600.rm

In my opinion, the phone appears a little bit slower than the 3650. But it is just my opinion.


Thanks a lot to 'Djedje' from the Mobi-News forum

Security code

Hi!

I was going to change the Sim-card on my old Nokia 3310 today, and realized that I had a security code on, which I don't remember. So I couldn't change the Sim-card because of that. And last time I changed the code was like 3 years ago or something. Is there anything I can do to unlock the phone? Thanks in advance.

/Amer

if u changed the security code then there is not much u can do but if u never changed it then the security code is 12345
__________________
if you have a datacabel and logomanager, connect your phone with your old sim card (normaly your 3310 will accept the sim card with no security code) and there you can just read out the security code...

nokia 6600 flop as its prices drop

k its been about 1 week since the 6600 has offically been realesed
for the first week it was for
583$
and now its for
450$
for just one week , this is a lot of price drop .
this phone just being around 1 week old , has been avalible in "used" market also and is just for 400-450$ .

when asked to a user y was he selling , he told us tht :-
"this phone suks.... , the screen is same old , tones are also same , only a different casing thts all . "

so this phone is a flop or wat i dunno but by the way things going on over here , it looks like it is ......

Many users from France, Germany, UK, etc. have problems with this phone. Too many bugs... Probably Nokia will make a software update soon. But the really bad thing about Nokia 6600 is that the phone is slower than 3650 or 7650.

Just read the mobileburn review (very objective review) to understand.

So in a way, the 6600 isn't really a flop...

Less than 24hrs ago, I bought a N6600 for S$698 without line or contract (after trading in a N8310)!

I m a very happy man!!!

The special promotion would last only 2 days... sat 22nd n sun 23rd Nov.

However, I feel that the ringtone is a little bit too soft to my liking. Maybe bcoz I m new to it?

Wait for the 6230, unless you want a phone with a big screen.
__________________
I'd rate the phone very high (abt 8+ outta 10) but I also wanna share some bad pts....

I've downloaded 2 songs (polyphonic) so far n whenever I downloaded them, the phone volume goes way way down! I cannot listen to the song I downloaded straight-away. I had to hard-reset (switch off n take out batt n try again) once or else the volume forever very low.

Also, the alarm somehow seems a bit low volume for my liking. Cant seem to make it louder either!

As for waiting of 6230 or not, I had similar thoughts also. However, pls note that this is the only ph in 6mths' time (with Symbian OS n MMC) that I really like. N6230 is good but no Symbian OS whereas 2 other Nokia monsters are rather ugly...

Just my thoughts tho.........

Wait for the 6230, unless you want a phone with a big screen.

I'd rate the phone very high (abt 8+ outta 10) but I also wanna share some bad pts....

I've downloaded 2 songs (polyphonic) so far n whenever I downloaded them, the phone volume goes way way down! I cannot listen to the song I downloaded straight-away. I had to hard-reset (switch off n take out batt n try again) once or else the volume forever very low.

Also, the alarm somehow seems a bit low volume for my liking. Cant seem to make it louder either!

As for waiting of 6230 or not, I had similar thoughts also. However, pls note that this is the only ph in 6mths' time (with Symbian OS n MMC) that I really like. N6230 is good but no Symbian OS whereas 2 other Nokia monsters are rather ugly...

Just my thoughts tho.........

Hmmm... one of the main reasons I bought the N6600 is for its big screen.
