    There's a lot to like here, and the phone has been well-received in our offices. It's very good looking, extremely pocketable and slim. With WiFi and GPS, it's a Swiss Army Knife of a phone, and it's hard to beat S60 3rd Edition's speed, features and web browser among smartphones. Were it not for the so-so camera that looks so much better, and the weak RF by Nokia standards, we'd crank the star rating higher. Read more

    In the end, we’re pleased by the Nokia E66 and we like it, but we think that ladies would value it more than men would. To be honest, we prefer the E71, since it features a full QWERTY keyboard, which makes communication easier. Besides, it follows the same design philosophy and offers almost the same functionality. But this is, of course, our opinion and don’t forget that every person has different needs and taste. Read more

    The smoked chrome accents and glass buttons on Nokia's newest business handset make you wonder what kind of business, exactly, the Finns had in mind when they designed the thing. Maybe this is the phone the high-class-escort set has been clamoring for. Working girls (and guys -- hey we're equal opportunity here) will certainly appreciate what we in the lab have taken to calling the "mullet button" (actual name: switch mode). This feature of the S60 refresh (3rd Edition,... Read more

  5. Nokia E66 Review

    At first glance, there isn’t too much chemistry between Nokia E66 and I. I learned to love the slider only after using it for a while and seeing how many things it can do and how good they're done. In case you're searching for a slider business phone, Nokia E66 is the best solution at the moment. If you hate sliders, then E71 can take E66's place with ease. Read more

    on Nov 23, 2009 Great little phone. Poor performance from the camera and the battery life, but other than that it's a thumbs up. I'd reccommend it. Read more
