Sony Ericsson K660i Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: A lightweight 3G phone with a classic design and a broad range of features, including a 2 megapixel camera, a music player, an FM radio, and a memory card slot. The fiddly keypad isn't the easiest to use however, and battery life isn't great either.

Review: May 2008. Updated January 2009.

Honestly this is just another clone phone from Sony Ericsson, who are becoming rather lazy churning out nearly identical mid-range 3G phones. Available in Wine & Black, Lime & White, Cyan & Black or Silver & Black. Very similar in design and specification to the K530i, K630i, K770i, and W660i, this one loses points for having a naff keypad, poor battery life and a mediocre camera.

Features of the Sony Ericsson K660i include:

  • 2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom
  • Video recording & video calling
  • Display: TFT LCD, 262,144 colours, 240 x 320 pixels
  • Music player with MegaBass™
  • FM radio RDS
  • PlayNow™ - download music and games to your phone
  • TrackID™ - record a few seconds of a song and get track, artist and album information
  • Polyphonic ringtones & music tones
  • Speakerphone
  • Sound recorder
  • Messaging: SMS, MMS, email
  • 3D Java games
  • Animated wallpaper
  • Personal organiser functions (Clock, calendar, alarm, calculator, notes, tasks, timer, phone book)
  • Vibration alert
  • Flight mode
  • Memory: 32 Mbytes plus Memory Stick Micro™ support (up to 4 Gbytes)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB, modem
  • Internet: WAP, EDGE, HSDPA, web browser, RSS feeds
  • Quadband GSM plus 3G (UMTS 2100)
  • Size: 104.0 x 47.0 x 15.0 mm
  • Weight: 95g
  • Talktime: 4.5 hours (3G) - 9 hours (2G)
  • Battery standby: 330 hours

Not a bad little phone the k660i. The camera is a bit tricky to use if you want to use zoom but produces a decent enough picture. The keypad is not that great. After a few months of use the nav pad started playing up followed by the disconnect key. The battery on my 5 year old motorola lasted longer than the battery in the sony. Other than a rubbish key pad and poor battery life the 660i is a nice little phone.

I have had this phone for about 15 months now and am looking forward to upgrading to something else. It is an easy phone to use and I have had no problems with paint peeling off, I've found the keypad ok and it is still an attractive phone. However, over the past 6 months or so it has become increasingly unreliable. It freezes up, the screen goes black or it drops calls and the battery life has decreased significantly. I am quite disappointed as I have always bought Sony Ericsson mobiles and never had technical problems in the past. The mobile has been away for repair once for the same problems but improvements didn't last long. I am fed up of repeatedly taking out the battery and sim card and quite often it doesn't start up again in any case... Very frustrating!

Do not buy this phone!! Going on a 18th month contract with this phone makes you depressed and is like dying a slow painfull death! The phone is very very slow and laggy, it freezers every hour and the battery has to be taken out! It never ever lets me make calls!! Yes thats right, make calls. It always goes to emergency mode for some reason and will let me call someone for about 30 seconds at the most before it drops out and will hang up for no reason! The buttons are small and rubbish, hard to text. Paint is comming off, battery cover has come off. The video and camera are useless. Getting this phone is the worst choice of my life and I do not wish this on anyone!!

I've had this phone for just under a year on 3, and had SE's before as the UI is good. No problems for 1st few months - then lockups been repaired once already. It's ok when it works - which is not often now! Lockups and dropped calls are increasing while battery life decreases. This phone has fundamental design flaws and is not fit for purpose. ITS THE MOST UNRELIABLE PHONE I HAVE EVER OWNED in 15yrs.

The software is very, very similar to a K800 and that got top reviews. The only real difference is the slim body and lower quality camera as the cost (and extra Skype support the K800 didn't have +mouse pointer on the web). I can't see why this is rated lower here, as these are the only real differences. [Editor's comment: Are you kidding? The phones are very different. Look at the camera! Look at the keypad!] In fact I copied my k800 themes over. On 3, this was 100% stable. Since moving to Orange it did lock up a few times. It turns out the settings they sent were to blame as they don't directly support a K660i and i got K600i settings :-(. If you delete all these settings and send the k800i ones from the FAQ section on their site (MMS and internet), it won't freeze again. I just got one for my wife in a different colour. These knock out around £60 now. I find it very good on signal strength. Often people visit my house and can't get an Orange signal but I can (worst being my Mum's Samsung). I wanted a longer life battery so got a third party one and get about 10% more which is 2-3 days with a few hours of calls and odd texting. I'd prefer longer and this is the only down side. Using 2 batteries is the solution, leaving one in your bag for backup if you are out and about. But 3 days is not that bad.

I had a number of problems with my previous phone freezing all the time and needing numerous software upgrades. When I went to the shop and all I asked for was a reliable phone - I didn't care how many pixels the camera had or what the game features were like, I just wanted to be able to make calls and send texts. I was assured by the sales assistant that because the K660i was a pretty simple phone (not particularly impressive camera or music function) it would work fine. The phone has been a complete and utter let down. It freezes constantly requiring me to remove and reinsert the battery to be able to turn the phone on again, it turns off for no reason, needs charging most days (even though the one thing it was supposed to do well was have a long battery life), it switches to Emergency calls only frequently, again requiring it to be turned off and on. The small keys aren't a problem as I saw the size of the phone before I bought it, however the fact that not a day passe s without something going wrong with it is a problem. I would advise anyone thinking about buying this phone to consider it carefully. It's incredibly frustrating.

The buttons on the Sony fell off completly in the end, it froze so much it wouldn't stop freezing, so once every 10 minutes in the end it froze, and even the insurance couldn't fix it! The camera didn't want to open, ever, and the music is fluffed up, but maybe that was the insurance's fault, as it was fine before I sent it to them?

I recently got the cyan on black version. I am happy with how it looks, and have not found the keypad fiddly, maybe because I am a girl with smaller fingers! I have also heard the cyan on black described as more of a boys phone, I don't think so at all. I love blue which is why I picked this one, however I think the lime on white one looks cool too. I have to say the earphones are a bit ugly and I am not going to use them. I previously had sony ericsson phone, a slightly more expensie one which cost £134.99. I became fed up with how it looked but functionally it was better. The K660i is a much simpler design which is why it is cheaper- however I have seen it overpriced at £140 in some Christmas catalogues. The battery runs out on mine very quick, and takes longer to charge up. It doesn't have some of the features my old phone had such as a light, which I found useful. Like I say it is a simple design.

well, one thing's for sure; this phone is not for idiots. TO SOLVE RESTARTS: there's a very very helpful site called SOny Ericsson.com that lets you download another software called Update Service for free. What it does is (when downloaded) is update the firmware of your phone with the latest firmware version, where majority of the bugs like restarts are already taken care of. It says on the Sony Ericsson site (as in clearly stated) that if you experience restarts, the best thing to do (and should be the first) is to update your firmware. Unfortunately and funny enough, majority of users don't know that, because even though they can access the Internet, they don't know how to use it properly and maximize the millions of information scattered all over it. THIS PHONE is underestimated. Period. It's not meant for insatiable consumers, but for users who have lots of common sense and knows want they want from a phone and chooses wisely.

That's why there're reviews like this, so that if you're so picky with phones you won't be criticizing phone models that prolly weren't meant for you in the first place? :) @we the keypad didn't deceive you. it's been round even before you bought it. you prolly have big fingers, so it hurts. you should've had enough sense to realize that the round buttons won't be too convenient for you before you paid for it. get a phone with giant keypad!! @collin yeah, not the phone's fault. the specifications for this phone is shown in detail in the sony ericsson site. you should've read that. Blimey, sales clerks aren't all techy people, so they prolly don't know much about a phone's features. if you want a super phone, go get yourself a more expensive one! dunno bout you guys, but I think the faulty phones usually fall in the hands of users who don't know the first thing there is to know about proper use and maintenance.

This is one of the most underestimated devices in SE's range. This device offers a very generous array of features and very advanced technology offering equal or greater functionality compared to very expensive windows mobile smartphones. If you do not require an advanced camera module or a customisable operating system in a mobile device the K660i is one of the best choices on the market. Strongly recommended.

hmm.. looks like lots of either bad units sold or .. **** users. anyway, I've had mine for almost two months now, and I haven't experienced any of those problems. The camera really is mediocre, but, didn't say it's meant to be a camwhore's best pal right? What I love most about it is the design. Yeah, I don't have problems with the round keypad. I find it easy to use and type with; texting is a breeze. Another is the interface itself. The three softkey is kinda confusing at first but, it'll take you only a few days or hours to get used to it. The media player is brilliant. It's Walkman 3.0 with Megabass, although it's not actually a Walkman phone. You can fast forward and rewind and the media center's interface is awesome. PSP-style menu browsing. As for the browser, I havent really tested it yet, coz 3G signal and HSDPA is rubbish here in the Philippines. BUt during those times that the connection isn't poor, it's really fast. Almost like broadband. Overall, since I'm a music lover, who loves real neat and elegant designs, I love this phone very much. The media player and the fast browsing speed (HSDPA) is more than enough to make me really take good care of this phone. But of course, if you're more into photos and don't give a damn about music and mobile browsing, this isn't a good choice. For battery problems, I think you can tweak settings like not having a screensaver, or adjusting the brightness or power save (Bluetooth) to help with the battery life problem. For restarts, try updating the phone's firmware through Sony Ericsson's Update Service, which is free for download from their website. I bought my phone on sept 2008, and there's already an available software upgrade. You should try that first. It'll probably fix the restart issues.

Upgraded 3 months ago from a K750i to this phone. loved my last phone with a passion, it was brilliant, but this phone is a big disappointment. It is so slow and just keeps freezing on me the whole time!! the battery is also very poor and you would be lucky to get a full day out of it...

Don't get this phone if you don't want to be dissapointed.. only 3 months in and it's broken. Worst sony ever maybe?

Got this phone at the beginning of June after coming off a Geography trip [was in year 10] and I got it on Cyan on Black. Fell in love with it as soon as I got it, shame it's only on contact really.. Love the phone, easy to use after having a Sony before [W810i] and I would recommend this phone to anyone. Only problem is mine sometimes turns off.. Any help?

This phones brill! The Internet is really fast and it is really easy to text. Also, I don't find the buttons fiddly as others are saying. I find them okay to use. The only thing that lets the phone down is the battery life, because if your on the internet and playing music all the time the battery runs out without even lasting a day...even if its fully charged before, this is why I give the phone 4 stars and not 5. I do recommend this phone though, but buy it from the 3 network and not t-mobile. (In T-Mobile is is £180 and in 3 it is £109 - This is only in the Uk though)

So although I live in the US, I spend my summers in Europe. And let me tell you one thing I can't get over is how much cooler my friends' phones in Europe look. The US cell phone market is rather plain, if you ask me. No outstanding designs or revolutionary ideas. A phone's aesthetic design is really important for me. Then of course comes the features. This one caught my eye as I was browsing cell phones online. I ordered it the next week, and I am super satisfied. I love its design & colours (I ordered the white) as well as the features. The camera's alright, typical cell phone camera. Although if you're looking for serious quality you might as well invest in a stand alone. I see that many people complain about the small sized keyboard, but I prefer it. Battery life is good. Great for the younger generation- texting, cam, music. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Ok, so the keyboard isnt the easiest thing to use to start off with, but you adapt to it after a few days. The camera is amazing for 2 megapixels! This phone is a replacement for my disatrous Nokia 6288, and the camera on the k660i is MUCH better than that of the 6288. TrackID is brilliant! Google Earth is brilliant! The pre-installed games are brilliant! The user interface is brilliant! (when you scroll through pictures, they move like they do on the iphone, sliding away and slowing down) The camera is brilliant! Remote Control is brilliant! MSN is brilliant! Skype is brilliant! It even looks brilliant on the outside with it's chrome rim going around. Such a choice of colours too! (i went with white and lime) One small problem compared to other phones it that there's no light for the camera. but i think the night mode makes up for that.. it can make 23:00 look like 13:00! all this for £109. i know no other device that has all the things i mentioned bar the iphone. buy it. (i havent said anything about the internet as i havent used it yet) With my psp for gaming, my ipod for music, this phone is the medium in the 3 types of technology i can get my hands on! it makes up for everything those other two cant do.

This phone is really good. It has fast internet speeds, and excellent quality of pictures for a 2mp.Many people complain about the small keypad. Personally, I found texting no roblem what so ever! When I went into 3 to buy the phone i originaly intended on buying the lime and white version. My dad convinced me to get the wine on Black instead. What a mistake. The wine comes out really pink and it loolk like a girls phone (I'm a boy). If you are male, go for the silver and black or Cyan on Black. Female could get any! Just wish it didn't look as feminine as it does. Good phone.

I've just received this phone today and from my initial impression, the design seems to be of outstanding quality - it has a a very sophisticated and elegant feel to it. In terms of the choice of colour, I was a bit confused as to which colour I should get - the options I had were either 'lime on white' or 'wine red on black' - I was after something a bit sophisticated yet unique and different to the standard 'black' colour phones. After careful consideration and taking a consensus from friends and family, I decided to go ahead with the 'wine red on black' and I have to say, it seems as though I made the right choice. It suits both men and women, as the colour scheme is neutral. The 'lime on white' is not a bad choice, although I would describe it as a bit feminine since it has lime green around the edges of the phone whereas the wine red on black version has a silver chrome around the edges of the phone. I would therefore recommend the 'wine red on black' for men although the 'lime green on white' isn't an extremely feminine choice and is recommended for people who like to be bold and are not afraid to be different and unique to the norm! In terms of features, it has beautiful themes and a sophisticated music player, although the headset which comes in the package isn't really that good - upgrade your headset to the HPM-70 or HPM-82 and you will find that the sound quality is drastically improved. The camera is only 2 MP, and for me - this is a decline in quality since I am upgrading from the K800i which was a cybershot phone boasting a 3.2 MP resolution. The camera quality would be best described as reasonable - nothing too outstanding but bearable. The internet is a pleasure to use on this phone and it is pleasing to see that the browser has been improved with the addition of a pointer and the ability to scroll across and down and make the appropriate selection. The only downside that I have with this phone is that it makes, what appears to be, a 'squeaky' noise when using the keys along the wine red panel - this may just be a slight anomaly, or the fact that the keys are new. It's not too annoying, but due to this I am awarding this phone 4/5 for what would otherwise be a 5/5 phone. Overall, I would say that this is an excellent addition to the SE range of phones. This product is targeted at a wide consumer range - it is a phone that is well balanced in terms of features but does the basics very well. Well done SE :-)

After briefly using this phone last week, i'm not impressed at all. The keypad is VERY difficult to use, but still not as difficult as the SE k550i(this phone must have been some sort of revenge by SE on their customers). The battery compartment creaks, and just as I was about to send a text the phone crashed. It looks like yet another Sony Ericsson rehash. It is also known to be buggy.Way to go, Sony Ericsson....yet again.
