Nokia2660 Flip Phone with 2.8" display, 4G Connectivity, Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC), Camera, MP3 player, FM radio, Games, Dual SIM, Black

Needed a simple 4G mobile for a friend. Looked at a few, but either not 4G or to complicated, did not require all the apps. Came across this Nokia model tried it out myself very impressed. Clam shaped phone so screen is protected when not used. As Clam shaped small and easy to store. Easy to read screen, big buttons, just open it up to answer the call. Easy to hold operate. To charge has the Miro-UBS socket, minus point, should be the universal C socket. As an extra from Nokia a mains charger is availble, to store the phone in. Like a landline phone so it charges at the same time. Battery comes separate from the phone in the box to fit in the phone. Easy to do. Battery lasts a long time. You can buy extra ones from Nokia for about £16.00. Some one complained the camera was no good. For the price and market it's for your not going to have a quality camera. Another review mentioned the rocker switch on the camera case too easy to press by mistake. I agree. Sort that out and a C socket for charging and you have a good cheap mobile.

I bought 2 of these for my twin daughters who went to secondary school for the first time. We were committed to not giving them smartphones just yet. These phones are ideal for keeping in contact with them but be aware of their limitations. They are unlocked and accept multiple SIMs. The battery lasts for days. We bought SIMs with no data and plenty of free calls and texts. We also bought roaming so that they can stay in contact during holidays in Europe. The camera is pretty rubbish and they internal memory is terrible. You need to add an SD card to prevent the phone from running out of memory. Is this a great phone? No it's not. it is perfect for what we wanted? Yes it is. Oh, and it has an updated version of the old Nokia snake game ;-) Last point, if you are really interested in your younger kids being Smartphone Free then speak to you local group or get in touch via the school. You can always search the web for smartphonefreechildhood to see what's happening with local authorities and government regulations on social media.

Nice flip phone, and a good alternative to smart phones if one has had one's fill of the latter. I am only interested in pressing buttons and making a conventional phone call, and for that it's perfect. The buttons are large and responsive and it's possible to silence the otherwise annoying 'beep' sound whenever a given button is pressed. The battery life is quite good, the cost not too high and the weight, light - though not so slim and easy to slip into one's pocket as some of the earlier 2G flip (clam-shell) phones of old. But at the same time, not overly large. The screen is quite big and easy to see, and it's possible to use either small or large size text if texting is desired.

This on the face of it, is a great little phone.Perfect for the elderly (I bought it for my dad), nice big buttons, easy to use, bright screen, no complicated functions, emergency button etc.However, the active flip ..... Isn't! Kind of the whole point of a flip phone so you can answer and end calls by opening and closing it.I could put up with that, but the Bluetooth does not link to the car, it pairs, but it doesn't import the contacts, and all you get is static on a call.Is being able to use in a car, not pretty much the whole point of Bluetooth? I mean, why even have it is it does not?I have been online and several people have highlighted this shortfall!Unfortunately I did not realise otherwise I would never have bought it.

This is my second "dumb-phone" after discarding the Nokia 8210 due to its poor sound quality.So the things the phone gets right:1. Flip prevents main phone screen to remain relatively scratch free for longer than non-flip phones of this category.2. Large buttons are great for someone with large fingers (like myself).3. Sound quality is better than 8210.4. Reasonable battery life.Now the negatives:1. Absurd ergonomic phone design. Which design engineer was given a paycheck after designing the handleability of the phone? The smooth contours makes it difficult to even take it out of the pocket as there is no way to grip the phone. Opening the flip to answer a call is a mission since I sometimes struggle with it to the point of missing the call and having to call back. I get it that this is an entry level phone but surely you can find someone with some understanding of how a device like this needs to handle. Not that hard.3. Same goes with the volume button on the side, since there is no groove nor grip on the phone, opening the flip almost always will press on the volume button and reduce the volume. I mean come on, engineering has come a long way since early 2000s, this should be an easy thing to spot during QA review. If you have a QA team doing that to begin with?2. Sim lock - good Lord, why did you not have the press-fit lever mechanism that you have in 8210 included? It takes unnecessary amount of time to remove the sim from its current housing clip. Needless complexity.3. Sound quality although better than 8210 by a long shot but still room for improvement.4. Texting has never been my strong suit to date and I still resent it more on the old keypad form. But one thing that is glaringly bad is the UI that handles the messaging, this needs to be reviewed and updated as recurring text messages from same contact are difficult to separate as you scroll down, the date/time with each scroll down does not translate well enough for you to know where the last text ended and the new one began. I often get an appointment reminder from my doctor only for me to not be able to tell which day they said as there is a previous text coming in the way of the new one.Overall, the main selling feature of this phone is its simplicity and when you severely lack in the mere basic functions of the phone then you have a problem as a manufacturer. I do not care if there is a Facebook option in the phone or the awful snake rehash, all I want the dumb phone to do right is to make and receive phone calls properly and when you fail in that aspect then you have an issue.Much better experience then the awful 8210 but still a way away from having the ideal "dumb-phone" that gets all the basics right.
