3.0 out of 5 stars Good basic phone!, January 12, 2011

This review is from: Nokia 1661 Unlocked Phone with Speakerphone and FM Radio - No Warranty - Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)

To start, let me clarify that when it comes to cell phones, I am not a fan of anything fancy. Smartphones, touch screens, applications, and the like are NOT for me. All I want in a cell phone is the ability to make & receive calls and text messages, keep the time, and occasionally use as an alarm. If you are the same, then this might be a good choice for you.

I've had this phone for a year and a half now. Here are pros and cons based on my experience with my particular phone:

PROS
-Inexpensive.
-Small, sleek, and lightweight. Easily fits in my pants pocket.
-Simple to navigate and text message with.
-Clear reception (using T-Mobile).
-Display is clear & crisp, easy to read.
-Durable. Has been dropped many times, suffered no damage as of yet.
-Long battery life. Others have had problems with this, but I do not need to charge mine more than once a week! This, of course, depends greatly on how much you use the phone.

CONS
-The alarm will go off at a random time after being set, IF you have the time set to update automatically. I've read that other people have had the same problem with this phone. However, I have no problems with the alarm as long as I do NOT have the time set to update automatically. Weird.
-Silent/vibrate mode is still pretty loud. The vibration itself seems to have a low, electronic humming sound to it.

That's about all I can think of. Overall, I am pleased with the phone. It's not my favorite basic phone, but it gets the job done with only a couple of weak points for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ok for what it is, June 22, 2010

I bought this Nokia as an emergency replacement. Price in Amazon seems high, I got it for $27 at my local store. Phone is very basic, you buy it for its core business: getting and making calls and as an alarm clock, and it is fine for that.

Some unexpected pros: looks not as cheap as it is (people won't make fun of you), has FM radio.

Cons: at $30 what do you expect but com'n Nokia, no foam for the included earphones? I would have paid the extra 2 cents for that although the included earphones look like they cost just that.

Phone is okay, but speaker phone is useless. You cannot see the missed calls directly on the screen by pressing green button, you have to go to menu and call log to review.
Overall, a good basic phone but almost nospeaker phone facility
