Sony Ericsson W660i Review
The Sony Ericsson W660i.

Sony Ericsson is making a lot of the designer look of the W660i. There are two designs, a black one for men and a flowery one for women. It's well made and handles beautifully, and the keypad is spacious and great for texting.
The Walkman music player is the star of the Sony Ericsson W660i, and sounds great even though the supplied headphones. And FM radio and music recognition software add to the fun. Bluetooth, a two-megapixel camera and memory card slot aid its entertainment profile.
The Sony Ericsson W660i has a great keypad that works for even the fat-fingered. The user interface is a agreeable as ever, and shortcuts are accessed easily.
The Walkman music player sounds great through the supplied in-ear headphones and even better through Bluetooth or regular headphones. The low resolution screen lack crispness, and photos come out pasty because of the lack of photographic aids.
Six hours of talktime is pretty good, and means you can listen to your tunes and chat for a good long time between charges.
Pros: The whole Walkman music experience is seamless, right from the PC software, through to transferring your songs and finally listening on the fully-feature, superb sounding music player.
Cons: Compared to recent Sony Ericsson handsets like the W810i and K750i, the W660i's two-megapixel camera is poor.

Verdict: While the new W660i is a highly capable music phone and a tad swisher than fellow Walkman candybars, its oh-so-familiar design still failed to inspire us.

W660iThis phone is pretty basic by nowadays standards but perfect for everything you need. The music player is a bit tinny compared with other competing phones but sounds amazing with earphones. The camera is pretty poor (even for a 2 megapixel) but works well enough- i couldn't get the zoom to work and there isn't a night mode/ brightness adjuster. It is great for texting and phone calls are pretty good. Overall: 7/10.
