Sony Ericsson K660i ReviewRed starRed starRed starRed star White star

Poor Excellent

Look and feel

Available in three colours depending what operator you’re with, the K660i is a stylish handset that feels comfortable in the palm of your hand. The keys are ideally located for when using the handset horizontally.

 

Features

With the internet being at the core of the device, the ultra-fast HSDPA connection enhances the experience. The K660i also has Google Maps, TrackID and PlayNow embedded. There’s also a two-megapixel camera and built-in music player.

 

Ease of use

The numeric keys are a little on the fiddly side. The novel mouse pointer only adds to the joyous web experience, while the shortcut keys are all ideally located for a quick press of the thumb.

 

Performance

Surfing the net is near faultless. The HSDPA capabilities means it’s fast, while the mouse pointer is sure to become a regular feature in future handsets. The camera is rather modest, while the RSS feeds were unreliable.

 

Battery life

Sony Ericsson handsets usually offer ample battery life and the K660i is no exception. 540 minutes talktime and 330 hours standby should prove to be more than enough.

Pros: The mouse pointer provides a PC-like internet experience.
Cons: The provided headphones are too long and are prone to becoming tangled up.

Verdict: For the person who is constantly checking emails, football scores or their Facebook updates, the K660i will provide all the means necessary. Billed as a mid-range handset, this is one of the best in the market.
