    We'd avoid the Nokia 1661 as we would a Black Death victim. You don't have to accept such poor build quality just because you want a dirt-cheap phone. Read more

    • Cheap as chips, Decent user interface, Long battery life
    • Keypad is the work of Lucifer, Looks as cheap as it is

    The Nokia 1661 is a neatly compact mobile phone which is great for those who like to stay contactable and have a few extras with their handset. The 1661 does not feature internet capabilities therefore quite easy and simple to use operate. There is no music player system but the user can still enjoy music, news, travel or even their favourite radio programme on their new Nokia 1661 mobile phone. Read more

    Providing a similar feature set to the , Nokia's 1661 improves on its baby brother with a better quality display, a much thinner design and an FM radio. However, the smaller form factor comes at the cost of keypad size. The Nokia 1661 mobile phone is much thinner than the Nokia 1209, so it slides easily into a pocket. Read more

    • Cheap, FM radio, decent display, flashlight
    • Rear cover creaks, cramped keypad, call volume could be louder, no Bluetooth

    I bought this for my mom, who is very Technology intolerant. lol It was very easy for her to use. However, it was a lot lighter than her original 1960's brick phone, so it will take a little getting used to. I hope she doesn't lose it. She LOVES the built in radio. Read more

    • easy, lightweight, inexspensive
    • not very loud
