Reviewer: Dips - India
Date: 7th Apr 2009
Great phone & is one out of the best music phones available. Its music quality is unparalleled. Its 2MP camera is good enough but if you are looking for a camera phone then it's better to go with CyberShot series. It also supports a wide range of java applications & games. The performance is also good. It has been two years since I bought the phone & I didn't have to visit the service centre yet.
There cannot be a better buy.
Reviewer: Anon - UK
Date: 6th Apr 2009
This phone is utter rubbish, DO NOT BUY IT or get it on contract, it is an absolute waste of time. Everything I do on it seems to have a 20 second delay. I type a number & press call & it appears on the screen 20 seconds later literally. It also turns itself off randomly, or the screen just blacks out. If someone calls me, no matter how many times I press answer it doesn't answer the call, & if it is a withheld number I can't call them back. I am completely fed up with it, & so are my friends & family as they can never get in touch with me when they need to. The signal also cuts out for no reason, one minute you have a full signal & the next nothing, then a minute later it comes back, very strange. I have been put off of Sony Ericsson for life, & will never have another one of their phones. Don't touch this phone as you will be disappointed.

Excellent phone with excellent features. Love it since I've got it. I've bought this phone after a lot of research & thanks goodness that my research didn't go to waste.
Music is up to Sony Ericsson standard. Dedicated music keys & easy to use. It's great with headphones or without them. Headphones are super cool.
I am happy with camera quality also. In day light it takes excellent pictures. Definitely I miss the flash light at night. Pictures get blurred in the night mode. Video quality is really very bad but as I've already said it's not a camera phone.
Its Java supported. What's more than that you can play 3D games on it. In the beginning you may find the keypad a bit crowded but believe me guys its really very finger friendly as you get used to it.
Screen is so good. High resolution & big enough. Feel fantabulous every time I look at my w660i screen. You can even see it in broad day light. You won't miss a word as it happens with other phones.
& last but not the least great design so much stylish. I've black in colour & it looks so cool. I am loving every moment with my w660i. I recommend it blindly.
Go for it if you really want an excellent music phone with good camera & cool style. It's a value for money kind of product.
Hope this review will help you guys. Best of luck.

This phone had been great for me. I've had this since September 2007. MP3 is heavenly, really at ease with it as a phone except being not a tech person, I've had long issues to synchronise it on my laptop.

The W660i is a nice phone, but I say avoid, I got it on an 18 month 3 contract in December 2007 & by May 2008 the screen had become intermittently faulty, the colours were sometimes wrong, & sometimes the screen would be completely blank. I was issued with a replacement W660i which has hardly lasted any longer as now, in January 2009, I am having the same problem, only worse. A major disappointment on Sony Ericsson's part.
Reviewer: Parthib - Chennai, India

Great Phone in Sony. Nice quality Sound & Camera. Not that much of clarity but good look in having. Nice Design & colours. Correct phone for correct price. Correct price for its features.
Reviewer: Anthea - Cowes, UK
Date: 17th Nov 2008
Don't go for this phone if you want a really good camera, no way will it please you there, unless you just want to send pictures to your mobile phone pals in a good light by day preferably. Now I have taken a good many pictures with this phone & they are all good, when I say don't buy the phone for its camera, I mean if you are going to use it for top of the range shots etc, very good enough for me though, & my general picture taking & viewing. If I were you in that case, buy a separate good digital camera. The rest of it is excellent by my standards of usage, the music is great, the Internet is fast, texting is easy, downloads games well & accepts exchange from other branded phones well. Reception for me is good, but that depends on the coverage from the masts, I am on Orange which covers my area OK. The battery life has been absolutely brilliant. I personally have loved this phone. I have now moved on to a Samsung phone for a change & am not sure how it's going to go at the moment as its on trial, so far the battery life is terrible, it freezes when a call is ended & turns itself off. The battery heats up when using the Internet & never did with the Sony W660i ever, even when using it for long periods of time. I am hoping this is early teething problems with the phone as otherwise it has a nice clear screen & I like using the touchpad thingy. All the best.

This is a Walkman version of the Sony Ericsson K750i. I have always used Sony Ericsson phones & still some of the old ones are the best, but I suppose new technology needs to be added to phones which causes problems. I have the W660i on the THREE Network & I am really chuffed with it. Nice looking phone, best quality music ever heard, Web is excellent but the big no no is the camera, if you are wanting a camera phone you are looking at the wrong phone. Sony Ericsson W phones are music phones & they are the BEST music phones, if you needs a good camera get a Sony Ericsson K phone, my old K750i was the best & my mates K770i is brilliant too. The C905 from Sony also is a high spec camera phone, so try that. If it is a small, cool looking music phone then try this one. Thanks for reading & hope I have helped you.

WARNING THIS PHONE IS TOILET! I had a W810i before & it was so much better, by far. The 660i is no better features wise even though it's a newer model. The only feature that's better is the cleaner text! Avoid at all costs. Mine freezes switches off etc. Pure rubbish.

This phone is awesome. But the bad is that it scratch easily if you don't put on any protection on the phone for example the crystal case or the silicon case, or any other protection such as screen protection. The camera lens scratches easily if you don't put on the protection.

I bought this phone & this phone is great its music quality is excellent & camera is good too. Its price is very less as compared to its features. It works very fast & does not hang like other Nokia phones N70 & N73. Its Internet is very fast. ALL I WANT TO SAY IS AN EXCELLENT PHONE & IT'S sleek TOO.

Best phone in a long time. Listening to the radio & the frequency constantly changes up & down by one digit, very frustrating when cycling, the earphones don't fit.
Reviewer: Becky - UK
Date: 29th Jul 2008
Absolutely Awful! Got it in December 2007, broken down & unable to use until March 2008.
Lovely looking phone, don't get me wrong it OK to use & OK features.
But reception is awful. Kept freezing up switched itself off & wouldn't let you switch it back on for at least 30 minutes! Was returned many times for software updates been usually came back worse. In the end I binned it, totally had enough of it & vowed I would never get a Sony Ericsson again!

Reviewer: Beejay - Manchester, UK

This phone is so good! I got it in February & I have absolutely loved it since! Last week a dropped it down the loo & it did brake completely but that was my own fault.
If you get this phone on 3 then you have the access to the Internet & MSN on it & all sorts! With a memory card I stored 83 songs on it & still had room for more! The Camera wasn't the best camera ever but it is a good camera.
Love This phone So Much!
Reviewer: Abbie - UK
Date: 28th May 2008
I've had this phone since April 20th & it's great. It hasn't frozen before. The camera is good except it doesn't have a flash, but night mode is good & yeah, speakers are good.
To the person who says she couldn't hear the ring you have to take the sticker off the speaker. So yeah, great phone really :).
Except, my mate dropped it but it still works.
Recommended, I love it.

To Ruthie from UK dated 31st Oct 2007.
Firstly, yes you can assign ringtones to a specific contact :).
This is a really good phone! I had the Samsung e900 & it drove me mad, but now I've got this I am so pleased & wouldn't change it if I was offered the most expensive phone for free! Everything is good on this, it's a very usable & feature filled phone. I haven't found anything I don't like about it!
Definitely the best phone I've ever had, get it if you want a great phone whose camera & music player are pretty good (if you want them to be fantastic, buy a camera or MP3 player). I am really pleased with it :).

Reviewer: Muffazal - Kuwait, Kuwait

The mobile is superb. But the only bug is as soon as I go to videos it freezes & only after 5 minutes I am able to access the video option. Is it due to 1GB memory or something else? Please let me know.
Reviewer: Jose - Pombal, Portugal
Date: 24th May 2008
I am very happy with this phone. I came to Nokia.
The design is fabulous & the software of Sony Ericsson is very good & intuitive. The only fail is the standby clock, because it's needed press the volume key to appear.
The Walkman works great & the sound is brilliant with phones & mega bass active. The call sound is also good, & I really love the keypad! The battery is very very good.
For this price I really do the best choice. I don't have any problem yet. I really love this phone!
Reviewer: Reinhard - Melbourne, Australia
Date: 18th May 2008
I have greatly enjoyed this phone since I got it. There are a few things though, the camera, though quite reasonable, has very harsh software compression to the images, so details can get lost, even at max quality. The stock themes are boring, the speaker is not that good or loud, midi synch is good but could easily be better. Other than that there are no issues with speed or reliability. It's steady as a rock & the voice sound is phenomenally good.
Reviewer: Khairi H - Birmz, UK

I had W800i & it froze & never turn back on again, eventually I put it under my bed. Then I bought this W660i phone last week, which is really good & has attractive design. But today it froze once, & it really making me panic. Hopefully it will work well & not btreak like my W800i did to me before.

Reviewer: Tom - Bournemouth, UK
Date: 6th May 2008
Great phone, just got in on contract with 3. I was previously on 02 PAYG, which admittedly was better for signal than with 3, but their signal issues are forever improving.
Looks & feels great, slim hard design, all the cool features on it if your're into that kind of thing.
Only cons, the battery life doesn't seem to be as good as my old W810i, camera doesn't have a light, decent quality otherwise. The button in the middle is slightly risen so for a while you may treat it like a joystick (soon get over that though). The buttons are a tad too small & the screen is insanely prone to scratches.
To be fair though these are just little things, it's fast, respsonsive & one of the best Sony Ericssons available.

I had never heard about this phone before, the shop person told me that it was released just a week before.
Till never I have not faced any problems like it hangs or etc. In fact it's too fast & good. This model comes with 512MB card. I guess this is a revised version (w660i). Yah, camera could be better with flash feature.

Reviewer: Jo L - UK
Date: 6th Feb 2008
I really like this phone except for 2 things.
- the battery life isn't that amazing, my 4 year old Samsung had similar was just as good.
- Every day it seems to get a little slower & it feels like any time soon it's going to just die altogether. I got it 3 to 4 weeks ago. Here are some examples.
E.G. Whereas a text coming in would have instantly popped up onscreen, now it flashes for about 5 seconds before doing so.
E.G. Also its' response time to pressing buttons is slowing down.
E.G. The Orange shortcuts take a good 2 to 3 seconds to show up whereas they were instant when I first got it.
This sort of problem is the reason I haven't bought a new phone in years because when they just come out they always seem to have bugs. Am I the only one?
I like everything else so this weird slowness problem is a big disappointment, perhaps when they release a fixed version (as they always do) it'll be totally ace.

I much prefer the design of this phone because of how slim it is. Many other phones stand out too much in your pocket so I find this sleek. I like the bold red design. Nice for it to be different!
Also usability is great. Battery life great. It would have been great if it had standard games you don't have to buy to keep! But I am liking the Bluetooth remote controller!

Reviewer: Jane Carnall - Edinburgh, UK
Date: 30th Dec 2007
I hate this phone. First of all, the instructions are bad, there's no diagram to show how to fit the battery or the SIM card, & I had to take it back to the shop to let the staff do it. Second, the charger is dodgy & Sony Ericsson (I was told by the shop who sold it to me) claim the warranty doesn't cover the charger. The shop replaced my faulty charger, but they claimed they didn't have to apparently Sony Ericsson won't take responsibility if the charger they sell with their phone doesn't work. Third, while the phone is charging, you can't use it. I've never before bought a mobile phone that wouldn't let you use it while it was plugged in & charging, but this one won't. It's a piece of rubbish, I am deeply unhappy that I am stuck with it now for the next 18 months. I am never going to buy Sony Ericsson again.

The good, nice design, with beautiful menus, the mobile phone shake when clicked a button (very cool), the MP3 player, the battery life.
The bad, only 2 mp camera, price, video quality, a little feminine!
Conclusion, it could be an amazing phone if it was a cheaper one, there is better options in the market with better prices!
Score is 7.5.

Have my 660i now for almost a month & so far so good. The only problems are.
- If you miss several calls from the one person you cannot tell what time they rang you at, only the last missed call is shown.
- Buttons are small.
- Most annoying is the low battery warning does not give much warning! Can die after only 30 seconds from warning note sounds.

Why are the downloads going to other which can't be played? I can't figure it out, & the women in the Indian call centre couldn't either. I can't believe it's memories full after downloading one track that has gone into music, what is this other. I bought this for the music Walkman essentially & of course the phone, if I could get rid of all the other stuff I would but can't get rid of Sony greetings etc.

Hey! I am looking at buying this phone but noticed the screen resolution is not as good as my previous phone, the Samsung E900 which was 340x220 pixels. The W660i is something like 176x220. Was just wondering if this is noticeable?

I have been with 3 since 09/07 & moved from Orange. I wish I can GO BACK, I really do. If you want to lose friends & lose customers then buy this Sony Ericsson W660i. Leave it in your pocket & you lose reception SOS. Then try it again & it switches OFF. Now it doesn't want to Work anymore. IT'S A JOKE. I would like to leave 3 but I can't. I have to pay them 320 to leave I think I can't afford it. PLEASE AVOID 3 & THIS phone.

I was really pleased with this phone. I went from having a K800i so it was a bit naff to go from a 3.2MP to just a 2 but I have a digital camera for that! LOL!
Overall I am impressed, the thing that drew me to it the most was the memory for music & the fact it has no horrible joy stick! (my old one was so unreliable).
Fabulous phone for both girlies & boys!

This phone is rubbish I had it for about 2 weeks & it just went white then I took it back & got another one & it did the same thing final I got the w610i & it hasn't failed me.

Firstly - yes you can assign ringtones to a specific contact :).
This is a really good phone! I had the Samsung e900 & it drove me mad, but now I've got this I am so pleased & wouldn't change it if I was offered the most expensive phone for free! Everything is good on this - it's a very usable & feature-filled phone. I haven't found anything I don't like about it!
Definitely the best phone I've ever had - get it if you want a great phone whose camera & music player are pretty good (if you want them to be fantastic, buy a camera or MP3 player). I am really pleased with it :).

'It does exactly what it says on the tin.'
Pros - Awesome design, great Walkman 2.0, good battery life, decent all round!
Cons - Tiny navigation keys, no flash or auto focus.
I have the black one it's a bit blingy but who cares, it's small & slim yet solid. Recommended!

Does anybody know if you can add your own ringtones to people in your address book, the only thing thats putting me off getting this phone is it says it's polyphonic ringtones.

Sunny - I bought mine with 3 & so far (touch wood! ) it's been ace! Can't you invoke the manufacturer's warranty & deal directly with Sony Ericsson? Also if you took the insurance policy out with 3 then this type of user damage is covered?

Reviewer: Mrs Sunny Bennett - Salisbury, UK

I received this phone on a contract from 3 at first the phone was great, I was disappointed that there was no flash but this phone has a brilliant memory. Then the buttons didn't work there-for I couldn't use the phone to do anything it took 8 days for the phone to come back to me only to learn that they didn't fix it! I only had the phone for 14 days & they have said that it was caused by very bad water damage but the only time I was near water was when it was raining! So I need some help/advise on what to do as I am adamant that this is not my fault & now I have a 18 month contract that I can do nothing with.!
Reviewer: Jim - Greece

This mobile phone is a really good one. I have ordered it & I can't wait to have it (the black one)! The only bad thing about this mobile phone is that it doesn't have a flash light & the camera resolution is low unlike the k800i. To sum up I think it's great & also haves 3G!

Not impressed with the games because you can only try before you buy the games in your applications menu! I like the option of just pressing the key on the side of the phone to find out quick details such as model & your own number! The memory is good as I can store a lot of data. Also like the way it stores recent contacts in the compose messages so you don't have to search through your phone book!
This is a good phone for radio, out on the go & plugged in with MP3 for house work LOL. Don't be expecting high quality video recording play back is very blurred I.e. A bit like a webcam. Also key lock is recommended I often find myself browsing the net or asking want to continue play back? Unlike other Sony Ericsson's the keys are fine, not cracking under pressure.

I got this phone when I was on holiday & it is really good. Many people say that it's too plain & similar to the other Sony Ericsson phones, & yes, that's true in a way but I prefer it to work well than to look good & be bad.
I can't seem to locate a photo light or anything on the phone though & that's the only problem I have with it. When is it going to be released in UK anyway? It's really cool :D

I have a Red w660i on contract with three. I've used it once on the Internet & now cannot return it. I want this phone, but not in red as it's a women's design! All I have done is used it once on the Internet & called my old number - but this is usage & three won't accept it. Or, if someone has some black covers, tell me how I can replace the red with black.
Reviewer: Trinny - UK

If you read the specs, it clearly says it has photo light, which means no flash, but you can choose to have the light on when you take picture, it's like a mini torch. I will get mine today, can't wait!

I've just ordered this phone free on Orange, I've read some of the reviews & can't wait to get it. According to the specifications the camera has a flash - maybe this is a new feature either that or you have to turn it on from the camera menu options.

Everyone is talking as if this phone is already available to buy in the UK. But I got told today in Carphone Warehouse that they haven't even got a release date for it yet. So is it out?

So what is the right answer?

This phone is great! It's everything I normally carry - MP3 player, camera, radio, agenda, address book & phone - all rolled into one. I love that I can put on the radio or my music on speakers when I am working so my work mates can listen too. Also great because the MP3 player automatically pauses when I get a call so I don't miss any. This phone takes good quality photos even though it doesn't have a flash, & I like the movie camera option. It's all just so convenient & the sound is clear. Style & size is good too.

I am getting a new phone at the end of summer, & I am not sure which one to get! The W660i looks great in black & pink! But I've heard it doesn't have a flash, although in the specifications it says the W660i includes a flash. This would be a major let down for the phone as I've heard its brilliant other than that!

Reviewer: Natalie - Bangkok, Thailand
Date: 24th Jul 2007
Wow I've had this phone for about 2 days now & just really impressed with all the features it has to offer. The sound quality is amazing, I mean this is the first Sony Ericsson I've had & so it's given me quite an impression on Sony Ericsson as a whole. The camera is average but then again it's only a phone so no worries for me. However, the lack of a flash does put a slight downer on my opinion. The battery life I've yet to test as I haven't been using it for long & usually the first time you use a new phone the battery life isn't too good but should increase by probably the next charge I do. I was impressed with the radio function, I mean the sound quality is amazing & you can even have it play through the speakers. But, as I found out you do need to have to have hands-free plugged in as this is where the radio antenna is kept, slightly annoying when you know the whole idea of having hands-free plugged in is to use hands-free not to listen to radio out loud. My version is in pink, it's absolutely brilliant, as a fan of pink phones the fact it was available in this colour made me sway dramatically to picking this phone. I recently owned a LG pink chocolate phone until not long ago it went missing in a taxi. Heartbroken he he he but not for long! As this is my replacement phone I am very proud & happy I picked this one. It surpasses the ability of the LG chocolate (which failed to impress me with its MP3 player ability & battery life, sigh). The W660i came with 21 songs already on the memory card (not sure if this comes as standard), & you can listen to the songs & do something else at the same time. The extra storage on memory card is a nice touch as you don't have to be stuck with the on board phone memory. All in all this is a pretty nifty phone! Anyone would be satisfied with this phone, it does everything with style. I can even hear my phone ringing when someone calls, the level of sound this phone can achieve is amazing. The sound quality when talking to someone on the phone is also very clear, so even if you're talking in a crowded place you can hear the person clearly.
You won't be let down with this phone ;)

This phone is so funky & stylish not only to look at but also to use, as a DJ I opted for the black 'record' design rather than the more girly red version & it looks as it could actually be designed by Technics! Easy to navigate menus are just an added bonus. Well happy with this phone!

Just got the phone today, free on 3! I was torn at first between the Nokia e65 & Sony Ericsson w850i, but when I was offered this phone I could not refuse! So far, very good, loads of features packed into a slim, sleek phone. As a music lover, I can't complain, the Walkman works great & the RDS radio is a nice touch. The 2 megapixel camera isn't bad either. The navigation buttons are a little small & will take getting used to, (as this is my first Sony Ericsson phone) but apart from that a great phone.

I love this Sony Ericsson, its fast & does what you want a phone to do plus a little more, the battery life is very good. I know 3 are planning this to launch on the 16th July 2007 but this is still TBC. Worth the wait I think though. I really like the red but hate the pattern on the back. I think it's aimed at the girls.
