  • Hats off to the guys who find this phone cute. Nokia 1661 is a basic phone and it is foolishness to expect much features with low price range. Pros : 1) light weight ; Easy to slide inside the pocket 2) Inexpensive ; poor guys can also afford this phone . 3) Durable : phone's body is made with hard plastic ; falling from small altitude doesn't impact much hence very Much secure even if it falls down unexpectedly 4)Bright Screen 5) Good Design : round edges at the corners ,

  • Yes, you are right. I am using this phone since 2010. It's nice but only one problem . it's sound is slow. otherwise it's perfect to use.

  • Do the text message read from bottom to top on this phone? Like if I get a new message would it be at the bottom of the screen or top? Thanks

  • this phone is superb, gets charged soon and gives amazing battery life. and whats more its a color phone and u can edit the themes as well. My phone came with inbuilt ringtones (mp3) and hence that's an added benefit. all in all a super cute and great phone. love it!!!!

  • Excellent phone - it only cost me £5 new and I use pay as you go as am only a light user. Basic but does exactly what is needed, no more, no less.

  • my experience with this phone is 50-50 battery life is not good and the ringing sound is very lowif you are in the crowded place if your phone rings it is very hard to hear the sound as i have missed many of my important calls due to its low sound rest all are good with good earpiece and lookwise its good and a very handy phone battery backup of 2 or 3 days depending on your calls and listening to fm radio

  • 12345 all Nokia phones use this code for reset. No joke

  • i need d nokia 1661 code

  • a very lovely phone with no hanging problem,no more price and very very easy to operate from a master brand company NOKIA CONNECTING PEOPLE.thanks nokia......

  • hi this phone is awsome it is so tough that when i drop it in water for 20 min it was sitill working and when i dropped it from my roof nothing happened

  • I used this fone for 2yrs lvd this as having the best of basic features... But now i lost this Missing my lovely phone :-(

  • one of the best mobile fones av ever bot... charge is awsm.. its just a compact fone which has all necessities... its very sturdy... last long.. an excellent basic model......a must buy. and doesnt burn ur pockets!!!

  • it is still available from numerous main high street stores etc

  • i just love this fone man but want another fone

  • it is a wicked fone i love this and bought it for 25.00 really good fone must buy good first fone yeah boi

  • This phone has been discontinued long back but the review says its available. Kindly change the update.

  • Would u believe, once I threw this phone against the wall and my 1.5 year niece throws the phone 1000 of times, bangs the phone against everything.....after all these CHAOS, it's still alive !! I bought this phone on June 14, 2009, still giving me outstanding service !! This is unbelievable !!!

  • the frecuency of the phone is 850/1900 only good for america. it wont work in india even the phone is unlocked.

  • if you see above the american version of this phone uses a different frequency than rest of the world, that's why your US bought version will not work in India (uses different frequency). Look for a quad-band phones if you want to use your phone world-wide.

  • i have added a number in screened messages and now i have been deleted that number from screened list but that person was sending me messages but i donot get her messages why?

  • I purchased Nokia 1661 in USA, got it unlocked officially by the service provider, hoping that it will work in India too based on the specifications. During my recent visit to India, I tried to use with a local SIM card and the phone has not worked. Do any of you have any idea on this behavior?

  • Its voice a litle..& other feature are best.

  • is this phone slow?

  • Best featured phone with the low price. I am happy with the phone apart little voice issue.

  • Happy for 35 dollars only

  • its d best i've been usingit 4 2yrs nw with no problem

  • Yeh Just a mobile for emergency use.Has got me out of trouble Overpriced for what else is on the market for that price. Hard to hear. Need a new one but cant affoord it.

  • HATE THIS PHONE SO MUCH! Had this phone for about a week now and my God, i want to drop a rock on this piece of crap. Texting with this phone is a drag, it takes me about 10 minutes to even type a one line sentence because it lags. You are typing a word and it cannot catch up that it even just type random letters and sometimes it changes to like chinese or japanese characters all of the sudden. Battery life is worst, I would charge this thing for like 5 times a day and that is even if it's on standby mode. Nokia has disappointed me again with this phone and they should be ashamed for making this crap. There is a difference between cheap but useful and cheap that's mediocre. I would have just bought a 5110 instead of this thing. I would throw this phone as soon as I get my other phone fix.

  • sound quality is very bad... even in speaker

  • Kept this phone for longer than I perhaps should have! Good - long standby and light weight compared with older phones. Keypress when locked displays time big and bright. Flashlight not great but way better than nothing. Not so good - speakerphone volume much too low, keypad not great for my not-very-big fingers, what looks like a connector to pc isn't! Radio relies on earpiece for aerial. A very basic phone that would do well as a low-use standby or upgrade of much older phone.

  • My youngest sister uses this phone mom bought it for her. I used it as well it was a great phone! Long life battery good for texting and calling :)

  • Its a awful handset ,,,, the speaker vol is very low,,, the call volume is also extremly low ,,, plzz don't buy this

  • good nice phone for first use and durable too as per my experience

  • how unlock nocia 1661-2 imie no : 358239/03/08 6491/4 serial no:358239030864914

  • The keypad of this phone is awsome.

  • A good simple phone if not for anything, the durable keypad

  • One of the best function in this mobile is "SCREENED MSG" which other handsets are not offering....it's a bst phone for roughly use, & Chatting purposes

  • fabulas it is very slim so i bought it ans i like listining radio so it has good radio voice so should be bought and it is cute..........

  • had a contract phone which i lost on a drunken taxi trip had to resort to cheap but usefull phone and this is what i ended up with , since then there have bein many drunken taxi trips and this phone remains glued to my side , its not a great phone to pull out to try get a girls number but its good when ur close lights are off and u can whip out a torch lol , kind of creepy but very usefull to us drunken lot .

  • nokia 1661 was my first hanset which i have bring form the nokia gallery when i was only 16yrs old the batery life of the hanset was excellent and i only pefereed to use it for listening radio , many time this hansetwas fall form my gallery , but in was as new as i have broot so is the best hanset i thing so iwill give 100% vote as compared to my newhanset which is N97 cool hanset

  • just do a sim swap and blacklist the handset

  • the best phone on market

  • Something really strange happened to my phone. I lost it somewhere and tried to call it from my house phone and some stranger answered at first I thought I had done the wrong number but when I made sure it was the right number the same guy answered. I dont know WHAAT TO DO!

  • Have been using this fone since past 9-10 months. For the price i paid, its a good fone. Bought it for Rs 1550/-. It has a usable torch, good call quality, very rough and tough piece. Wat could be better is its ringer volume, which is extremely low. As a basic fone, would recommend to everyone. Why use a secondhand, if u can buy a good first hand one. Yeah, one in a while its shuts, but rebooting solve the problem. I will give it 4 out of 5 stars. Dont expect everything, but will do its job well.

  • Didn't you look at the phone before you bought it?

  • is this phone triband?

  • Have the radio built in the Nokia 1661 the Radio Data System (RDS)?. My unit always ask me for write manually the station name, and get the name of the radio stations "automatically" is one of the main features of the RDS... Thanks very much, in advance. Regards.

  • the problems with this phone are that it isnt very colorful & doesn't have a camera

  • if it seems to be nokia is best cellular company but now a days we are facing problem in your new cell phones especially in nokia 1661 1662 5030 1616 c1-00 the voice is not coming clearly in the real front speaker but its coming loud from the back speaker and talking privacy is distrubed.. so please check that problem out..

  • Never ever buy this phone, NEVER take it even for free. I had two within last 5 month, both purchased new, in sealed box. I bought first one in August and in December it locked up, erased settings and when you try to adjust the volume phone shuts of, erases settings and restarts asking for code (12345). Volume stays at min low, phone calls don't produce sound. I thought maybe cheap phone went bad and bought another one a month ago. 2 days ago same exact thing happened to a new one. I was not demanding at all, buttons quality, absence of camera etc. was fine with me for $20 I paid for this phone, I only wanted it as a phone, not even for texting. NOKIA SHOULD NOT EXIST AS A COMPANY, there are plenty Samsungs, Motorolas etc.

  • What do you expect for 30 �? A high-end smartphone? ;) But I don't like the phone either. It has aweful keys.

  • I got this phone second hand as a temporary measure when I accidentally dropped and broke my (truly amazing) SE K800i. This phone only wins on price and is hopelessly basic. There is no camera, no data connectivity of any kind let alone 3G (yes, there is no obvious way to connect it to your PC even for flashing or unlocking purposes) and it doesn't even look that good. However, it does come with a headset and you can get FM radio but there is no RDS or autotune. SMS is a bit hit and miss, which is a shame because Nokia used to be market leaders in that regard. Nokia's legendary T9 implementation is gone, replaced by a clunky mess which is slow and keeps guessing the wrong words and to just send a text you have to go through about four different menus (type your message, type in the number/search phonebook, actually try to send the message and cross your fingers). Following this, you may or may not get the Message Sent notification and I've had problems with texts taking up to two hours to arrive when sent to me. Mine is unlocked and I've tested it on Orange UK and Vodafone UK and the same problem is noted on both networks. There was never any delay on my K800i using the same SIM card. However, call quality is fine as is the battery life. With moderate use I can get four days out of the battery. I wouldn't recommend buying this phone at full price as, quite frankly, you can buy a better phone second hand for not that much more money. This phone isn't worth it and Nokia themselves have other budget handsets which look much better and have way more features. This phone is aimed at "developing markets" which makes it so surprising that it's even on sale in the UK.

  • ITs gifted but very cute and lovely set.

  • this is very cute cell but one thing is not satisfied that there is no mem.card option and camera is also not there.but its ok not neccessary of cam..but if card option is there means it is useful while travelling time...

  • well this model is quite nice and really flexible i love it

  • Well, I've had this phone since June 2009 and it has restarted only once, the battery still remain strong after 2 days....worth buying for only Taka 2900 but the main disadvantage of this phone is sound quality is poor and the amount of light the torch provides is not sufficient.

  • its very nice cute set ya

  • nice set

  • really? Ive never had a problem with the keypad. as long as you push directly on the key you want, you should'nt have any problem.

  • its keypad is very bad

  • This is one of the cheapest phones available today on the market! Good: Pretty solid, dropped mine on the ground and it still works perfect Battery pretty good, lasts several days on a single charge Has a radio and flashlight (at this price, wow!) Call quality is reasonable, never had a dropped call yet! Bad: Considering the price - nothing. Some people said here that they have problems with phone restarting. I used mine for at least 4 months now and never had that problem. Conclusion: If you don't have any more money - this is the phone to buy. But don't expect it to have features like camera, internet, and MMS. You need to buy more expensive phone to have that. Sometimes I wish I had a camera on my phone, but I can't afford it.

  • somebody stoled my mobile .LoLzZZzz :(

  • i want nokia 1661 black mobile.

  • what is that opening for that is in between the charging hole and the headset hole?

  • Hi David - Lock the phone by pressing Menu then * key (asterisk). You can set a security code by going to Settings / Phone Settings / Keyguard Settings / Keyguard Code. Default code is 12345. Then you can reset it if you want. Josh

  • i have the nokia 1661. how do you lock out the key pad so you do not dial by accident.thx.david.

  • i have this but its speaker and loud speaker sounds low rest is good........

  • This Phone is much superb in Battery, Robust(i've dropped accidentally many times.. still working cool) But for messing its so hard, Slow UI, u cand all work instand but those work will be showed on display on later oly... And keyboard SUCKs, u dont have nails, please dont buy.. it ll cause u pain in typing.. and funny thing is tat.. to attend call u have to turn over the phone and talk.. so u can hear well...Really funny..

  • The default unlock code for this one's 1234.

  • yah, I experienced that too

  • Excellent phone , will be your friend at the trips ,simple and useful,trust it specially its battery.

  • my mobile 1661 bad mobile because it display is coming black and white be care ful

  • as my experience on this phone > sometimes its reboot it self > Keypad are good looking but cons for those who have blessed with large thumb (all pad are flat with no allowance or emboss pad, will accidentally press the other keys > on creating a message, when you already make a story telling text msg(exagg)and you want to delete a certain paragraph, the text deletion cannot follow on the pressing speed, so slow to adapt > No WAP (of course) > You can loudspeaker the radio if you have only connect the handset (otherwise is it in call mode) > Need to connect a handset to play radio > it has usb port but no internal memory to store for data's, > Usb port is use for what? Rate 3/10

  • what if i forgot my password, is there a unlock code for nokia phones

  • hard body. rough use. more utilise. money use. look is good graphics baap. thems baap hai yaar. low budget person use this phone life time. 4 to 5 years no problem. battery back is tooooooooooooo good.

  • what i like about this phone is its battery aside from it being slim. has a problem with its earpiece though.. overall its great.

  • It is ok, but earpiece voice is very much low. means cant be listened in traffic etc clearly. So b careful before purchasing this phone

  • i have brought my nokia 1661 in november 2009.it is a great phone for calls and it has a fine battery bakeupand a torch, which is its great adventage. More thanks

  • is it tri-band? can i use the phone with a roaming sim card? thanks?

  • I forgot my security code. Is there an over ride code

  • When it comes to prepaid phones, manufacturers make mostly entry level handsets. Nokia 1661 is a basic phone from T-Mobile. There is nothing special about the design and this device is made just for making calls. I won�t recommend using this as your primary phone simply because it is seriously lacking in features.

  • Push 1 and hold for voicemail options

  • How can i use multi phone book?

  • I bought my Nokia 1661 last April in Thaïland. The cell phone is in Thaï lamguage. Is there an intertonnal site in mecu to switch language to english or french? Many thanks

  • is this phone quad band then?? 4 frequencies are listed?

  • Press and Hold "1" It will dial out to your voicemail

  • How to format 1661? pls help me.

  • earpiece volume is very low, otherwise everything is ok

  • how do you get to voicemail on this phone????

  • Worst product ever to come out of Espoo, and maybe the worst cellphone in the world, period. Brand new (T-Mobile USA). Attempting to access ringtone menu results in reboot. Then after a few months of intermittent use it asked for security code (default 12345) even though security was not enabled. It then reset itself to factory default and in the process lost several of the themes. No way to restore them without any kind of connectivity (other than flashing by a tech, not worth it for a $20 phone). Now it asks for security code on every power-on (again, none enabled), and resets to defaults each time so no point in setting any preferences. Does not alert for incoming sms, and the clock isn't setting itself correctly from the network. Periodically and randomly pops up an alert/error message to "check network service" or somesuch, don't recall the exact wording--even though it's getting signal. About the only thing it's good for at this point (until this function craps out, too) is the FM radio. Even if it was working ok, the sms memory is way too small, I find myself having to delete msgs which I want to save for sentimental reasons (and no way to backup without connectivity) to make room for more incoming. Piece of rubbish.

  • just got one from my mom its beautiful............

  • good to handle and user friendly slim one de merit is voice through the main speaker is not good and typing with the plastic key bad is some what horrible other wise every thing is good......

  • is nokia 1661 in nice to use ? bcoz im planning to buy it next month .

  • Good value for money, and you need to turn up the volume on the ear piece, my girlfriend has on i can hear the other person on the phone. £5 is a bargin

  • It has no earpiece. All it has is a ringer. During call voice came from it through a back door into the front earpiece opening. so if u want a loud sound attend ur call while holding its back.LOL It's just a piece of Crap.hahaha..... My sympathies with u........

  • one of 3rd class product is made by nokia i hat nokia due to such type of bullshit nonsense bakwsi mobile too much slow bad speaker volume with bad reception

  • everything is fine but earpiece volume is very low. please give suggestion to make it loud.

  • Hello i m using thir phone from 1year and 6months battery and radio is too goo than 2700/2690 but earpiece vol is slow

  • Just read the instructions it tells you how to increase the earpiece volume,but looking at some comments and the grammar I doubt you can read.

  • I am thinking that what I can do with 8mb internal memory. As this phone doesn't have any connectivity, Camera or radio Recording. So please tell me why there is 8mb internal memory. !!!waiting 4 experts!!!.

  • This phone has a very bad reception.

  • Is this set avaialble in the market, watz the best price Pls update i need this handset

  • you first put your phone to water... and charge the phone.....

  • i am using this phone for the last two days. I haven't used a mobile before this. I would like to know what is roaming and do this phone has roaming facility?

  • 0000 is default PIN1

  • code is 12345, not 0000

  • Hello, I cannot seem to find how to change the security code. Normally, new phones have their default security code set to 0000 allowing the user to reset but I cannot set my security code. it keeps sayin code error.

  • i am nw useing this 4n. not bad. it's good for hard use

  • is very good phone,i like it very much,

  • Already i am using in this phone.. but my friends change my restore factory setting pin code.. so i wont change my personnel changes.. They also forget that change codes.. what can i do..

  • i like it this mobile

  • Phone is just fine. Volume is adjustable but people don't seem to know this. Buttons work very well too if you use finger nail (mans short nail is just fine). Micro USB jack on side is NOT connected so you WILL NOT be able to connect to computer. Period. Loudspeaker volume is fine too. For 19 bucks it is what it is. If this phone sold for 39.99 I wouldn't know the difference. Leave contact info on SIM card only since this is an inexpensive phone you might have to ditch it for many reasons. I'm a picky person, but all I need is a phone I don't use much, or text much and I'm very pleased with the 1661 so far. Any reception issues is because of T-Mobile coverage. I have yet to experience any issues but I live in a large city. You get a little over 30 minutes with new SIM card if your not swapping out your old SIM and that's plenty of time to give out the new number to a skank you don't want having your real #er before she finds she can't contact you anymore.

  • This handset uses a 2.5mm jack, I use and sell the handset on a daily basis. If how ever you feel that the info is incorrect please send an email to GSMARENA or post your comment at and select the option for site issues

  • i like it

  • i inadvertently lock myself out of my phone attempting to set my "security code",a feature which was not covered in the enclosed enclosed operating manual.my question being,"how do i unlock my phone?"

  • Is dis piece banned??please let me knw

  • cheapest.....

  • yes you can... youll need duct tape and tweezers... :p

  • In response to the Comment about the Volume thing: Can't You used a Wired, "Hands Free"... Wire? This Phone is in a Mobile Phone Shop, new, at what looks like a Bargain Price, with the Nokia Branding, which used to mean Something... Something about Quality. It's gutting.

  • Pls don't go this model and analyze first which model is best because it may test your ear and you may feel your speaker out ultimately it's LOW VOLUME and failure model. Nokia has to return back this model. utter waste in volume..............

  • its style is good.... but u cant hear anything wen u step outside the room.

  • this phone is good for those who stay inside. the moment u step outside u cant hear anything what the other person is saying, the sound is so feeble that nothing is audible. I don't understand how nokia quality people let this phone out in the market, its a disaster :( Gud for text msgng though!!!! And light on pocket as well

  • This model looks so nice.

  • I bought this phone as a standby. But the ear piece volume is the poorest. voice is very feeble. It's not audible even at it's peak . I'm totally fed-up with it. What's the quality control of NOKIA doing?

  • my gushh what a nice phone.....!tnx

  • i bought my nokia 1661 last 2days, and i've felt comfort of this phone.

  • i bought my nokia 1661 last 2 days, and it is so good....!

  • 8s so gud.......

  • 2.5mil jack ure wrong

  • 3.5mm audio jack. Not 2.5mm. My father use it. Please correct it.

  • please i don't understand what you mean by downloadable polyphonic ringtone since it has no browser.thanks

  • Yes it works in the UK with an appropriate sim card. I purchased my 1661 in Newcastle and it worked in Scotland as well. I just teturned on Sunday to Canada and am going to unlock it and get a Fido sim card.

  • + good battery life about 5-6 days (seldom texting or calling) + great for text addicts - low light torch - reception is bad sometimes

  • I've been having problems lately with receiving no signal. Must be antenna problem. I like the phone but must return it for something else because I need a phone that's dependable. I use T-mobile and so do others in my family. They don't have probs with their phones.

  • Can you connect this phone with PC ??

  • gud fone....

  • no camera

  • No FM Recordinng..!!

  • Hi.. M using it, It has no camera

  • mainly volume problem

  • Will this phone work in the UK - with the proper sim Thanks & Regards Tom [email protected]

  • Ha ha ha, how could you comparing this entry level Nokia 1661 with the high end N8??? Not every one needs 12mp camera or huge display with touchscreen technology. Every one has his own need and capability. Thats why best is always a relative term.

  • bought this phone as a stand in, and i havent put it down! simple, and perfect, and TOUGH! i can THROW this phone in a park ( has to land on grass)and it never breaks. superb. would i have another? oh yes, £9.99 probably the best value for money around.

  • my cousin bought that kind of mobile yesterday and we found out about the volume problem, we don't know what to do now we thought about changing it if we can, but is there a solution for this problem??!

  • My nokia 1661 model are not displying ring tone

  • I love the fact this phone is so simple to use, there is not another phone out there that can match the user friendlieness of this phone, nor its strengh, i oftern go badger baiting and had a close incounter with the well known and unpredictable Honey Badger, It attacked my addorable hunting pup named Archie, and bit his leg, i had no option but to use my 1661 as a weapon to hit that pesky Honey Badger around the top of its loaf until it let go of Archie's poor little hind leg. Therefor i dub the 1661 the best phone available you can take it wherever you go, if it was a knife it would be swiss. I will never be upgrading this phone to ANYTHING. y network provider will have to prize it from my lifeless dead fingers.

  • This phone works in North America! Particularly in Canada. Nokia care just confirmed it.

  • is this phone best for SMS?

  • I bought a Nokia 1661 yesterday. I like it because it's simple. I read the manual. You can adjust the volume during a call, by pressing the right-navigation key, to max so you can hear better. Don't put your contact into "add-to-screen-list" or you won't hear the ringtone when they call or send a text message on your phone.

  • Bought this phone today, I like it because it's simple and it looks good too. At first I was wondering why the speaker phone is low. But, I forgot that you can adjust the volume to maximum during a call. So I did. And now I can hear well with calls. It's a nice phone.

  • It's design is appealing. But the worst part of the phone is it's lowest ear speaker's volume. Is there any way to fix it?

  • Guys i bought dis fone last wek...its nice only but loud speaker is not good..u may miss d calls..dats only d drawback...

  • Sandeep which brand is q44?

  • you cant really complain about this handset. its a very basic reliable handset. £14.95 incl £10 topup on virgin or £17.95 incl £10 topup on vodafone (unlocked) bargain

  • how can you compare the nokia 1661 to the nokia n8, they're on opposite ends of the phone spectrum.

  • It's a very bad phone .Ear volume is very less.got irritated using it.my bad!!

  • Get the nokia n8 which is better than any fone including iPhone 4

  • This cell phone is very easy to use. People are irritate, they don't even know to use the basic Nokia phone. I suggest people to buy this phone. Trust me, its worth of your money.

  • very bad phone ... and please don't buy this one as it has very low volume in ear speaker getting hot after 10 mins of talking

  • Plz dont buy this mob ,its very costly .buy spice q44 at just Rs1650

  • the main features of a phone is to make and receive calls not send and recieve sounds !!

  • This phone specifications says it can download ring tones but it don't have a internet, what other way is there?

  • thats not true

  • the new nokia 6700 slider is a very good phone

  • This phone is completely wastage of money, the basic feature of a phone is sending and receiving sound and 1661 is the worst sending and receiving system I have ever had.

  • My nokia 1661 suddenly stopped sending messages. "Message Sending Failed" always occurring when clicking Send. Also, Message > Message Settings says "Sim Card Busy".. Any way to fix this? I've deleted the send items already and restored factory settings but it still wont send messages. Please help! Thanks!

  • This phone has nothing but standard ringtones and message tones, perfect phone for if your not into anything but call's and messages. No WLAN

  • the speker of this phone is also not of good quality

  • my nokia 1661 phone has refuse to come up after one week of purchase, it was displaying a write up "TEST MODE" on the screen pls how do i rectify such fault?

  • Hi. I found no 8MB internal memory. just an ordinary phone. key pad is noisy and not comfortable. nothing special. infact very ordinary.if you want a basic phone, why pay more just buy 1202 or 1280.

  • i bought it coz ron at work told me it was on the same par as the iphone i think he was pulling my leg

  • POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR KEYPAD!? I've done this in a 1662! Grab a x-acto or scalpel and, vertically, cut along the ridges of the keypad. I've cut between 1&4, 4&7, 7&*, 3&6, 6&9, 9&#, because I was always pressing two keys in the same column. No more pressing two keys at once! xD

  • Oh baby i love this phone yaaar. realy kitna halka hia shoab ke us ke tarha......hahhaha

  • good phone for those who wants looks and low price . FM is not too good.bcoz im a teenager i want to change this phone

  • good design. keypads are not at all good. value for price...

  • how can i connect it with pc through dg-u8a usb serial cable

  • its been over a 2 years now since i had this phone,its still doing its basic function,but the sound quality,battery,and key pads start to come out,meant its time for early retirmint! looking back at the price i think i have used it to its limet,so i dont feel too bad about it! i plan to buy a new one or something like it! after all,coinsdring its price this phone can get you by with the best value for the money,for some times!

  • if you want camera get CANON

  • This phone isn't even worth $19.99. I wanted something very basic, no bells and whistles, but I did expect it to actually WORK. I've had it for about a month and it's been one issue after another (from a defective headset to the battery constantly dying), and customer service was NO help. You would be better off flushing a $20-bill down the toilet - it's quicker and a lot less painful! DON'T waste your money on this piece of JUNK!

  • Wow!

  • ohh! this model is very good and comfortable..... vishal and gokul

  • it does say no camera, so im guessing it dosnt have a camera?

  • 1661 o 1616 is better ?? i wanna buy a secondary phone for calling , sms , radio , torch & tough phone ... any suggestion ???

  • Ofcourse 1661..........

  • looks cute on the screen. wondering whether to buy 1661 or 5030...

  • know this ! I waited 30 or more odd years before getting a cell...after the wait I'm happy to report my sattishfacshun / this particular model delivers wonderful radio reception & 10 fm presets. I leave it on all day while I wait for incoming calls. It's plenty loud and lasts about 1 or 2 days on a battery charge. Even if you don't have minutes on the phone you still have a Very nice rechargable radio/flashlight. Very functional and very affordably priced. I paid 20 bucks 4 mine.

  • there s no camera

  • Hi, it is just in 1400, if you search camera in Nokia the basic camera mobile in nokia is around Rs.2650 Model no. 2330

  • I have RH-121 and model: 1661-2b. When someone calls me, it does not ring. If I get a text message, message sound works. I really could not understand the problem. If I go to settings/ ring tones the phone goes off and restart. I changed volume, vibration, or light parts, but it still does not work. Please help me! thanks.

  • Hi,. using the model 1661, i can't send messaje. i think that this mobile is not a good option to buy

  • SHud i go for 1661 or 1662?

  • Nokia 1661 is meant for simplistic. You can talk, send sms, listen to Radio(has earphone), use a torchlight, organize yourself with calender, be alert with alarm, chat with a person who you like and a decent spreadsheet to organize your expenses. Battery life is good and voice is clear. Approx Rs.1650 in Indian market.

  • Well,i have this phone, for over 2 weeks, and i think i must buy a new one, is so difficult to SMS, or call because the keyword is not perfect, and the material of this phone is very bad,price is quality, for only 40 USD/or 400.000 Indonesia rupiah, is not worthy.

  • U have to buy the headphones.

  • how to send pictures to this phone? specially via Internet.

  • Is this phone radio built in antena or we have to use wire?thanks

  • I want to put mp3 ringtones in the phone how can i do this?

  • yes you can, try to navigate it on the bottom part

  • whatever!!this phone is a loser

  • Can it be connected to the computer to transfer contacts from computer to the phone?

  • ppl let me know abt the durability and ease of texting on nokia 1661

  • i´m from Cuba, and i buy this cell this week...i have to say that i´m very happy with it...i had a 1208..but the 1661 is very cool...BUY IT

  • thank you

  • Hi everyone. I bought this mobile some while ago for the foremost reason that I like a simple one. I am fed up with mobiles with cameras, memories for mp3s etc. So, I had to look for something simplistic. So, before going to buy it, I had to look for reviews online, everywhere and frankly speaking, from what I read, be it on this website or eleswhere, I could have been discouraged to buy it from many negative comments I came across. Let me tell you that they are all wrong!!! I don't see how the reviewers could come across so many problems as personally I didn't come across any of them. So, let me tell you the specifications and their relevant feed backs. Messaging: Simply superb. You can type in up to 918 characters at one go and you have the dictionary available, but personally I don't use it, so I can deactivate it. Keypad: While looking at pictures online before buying it, I thought to myself that it would be very difficult to use those keypads especially that I text a lot and I mean it. Folks, they keypads are simply incredibly responsive, meaning you can text in your messages really fast. For those having Xtra Large fingers, it will be a problem though :D Applications: You can put in your alarm, programme it for the whole week continuously. Only one alarm time can be set though contrary to some other mobiles on the market where you can insert alarm for different times of the day. The reminder's option works the same way as any other nokia mobiles, meaning you put in your reminder's details, time and date; that's all. The battery life is long and it gets recharges really fast! The tones available are limited though, but enough for someone looking for a mobile mobile and using it only for texting and calling. Personally I only use vibration outside the house; so it's really not an issue for me. The only problem that I see is that compared to Motorola mobile, you have the option at a go to just choose vibrate only, or sound only or both. But on this you have to lower the ring tone completely to cut the sound and have to put vibration off if you want to to use only sounds. But all this can be resolved by using the profile option though. Also, the messages in your inbox aren't numbered; so on a practical view point, it's not a problem, but if someone stores above 100 sms in the inbox and want to locate a particular sms, that will be a problem. So, again it's not a major issue if you don't store sms so long to review again and again. Regarding the radio, you will have your ear piece that you can use for calling too if you're driving. The sound quality is very good (for radio listening and calling). I think that's all I can comment upon. Overall, I am satisfied with the mobile and frankly I'm impressed owing to the prejudice I had pertaining to it after having read all the comments on the mobile. Like I said above, I like simple mobiles without complication. I use them only for texting and calling, so really it is simply worth it and for its price it's damn good. I advise people to BUY

  • To adjust volume: Press "left" or "right" on the center pad while connected during a call.

  • Dear nokia authorities, iam one of the buyer of nokia 1661, 5 days before i bought a mobile. All features were good but iam not satisfied that the sound was not good, even ordinary bobile too gives much sound and the reingtones were too not so much good and another demerit is BANNERless.......and iam not satisfied that there is no option that copy messages from sim to phone....on over all iam satisfied 40% by buying this NOKIA 1661.....pls take necessary action...Thank u

  • speaker volume is very low avarage phone.

  • Good phone but not a friendly user';'message not type aa easly././

  • This Phone is cute and beautifully designed; simple, durable and economical. It's the best Device so far for the Beginner(s).

  • Sick phone

  • i justt got the phone 4 a few weeks and its great easy to use and has lasted ages now

  • I bought this phone on Friday, to use my previous sim card in it. Was £12.97 from Tesco and i have to say this phone was great for the money, has an FM Radio, Torch, Spreadsheet etc. Would definitely reccomend this for someone looking for a simple phone, or as a second phone that is only used infrequently.

  • its so cheap the cheapest nokia and this so much more than what u expect im very impressed

  • lucky doez it have a wao connection 4 internet?

  • Good Phone

  • Hi every one, i am using Nokia N-73 but i really need another phone, so today i got Nokia 1661, its really nice slim, and stylish. Screen is big as compare to other simple phones. More is ring tones are in stylish way like old Default Nokia Tune is also changed in stylish way. Yes keypad is little bit hard but not enough. Tourch lite is fine, themes are cool, games are superb. And yes ear piece is really loud. Nokia You really Rocks!!!

  • why message counter is added in both messages and recent cal list...?

  • hello, i just using this handset. I bought this phone since my old 6220 classic is been stolen so i buy this phone and heres my comment: Pros: 1. Very light, slim and small. I like the design though, its funky and nice for simple phone 2. The screen is really nice and quite big for a simple handset. The display is really good and bright 3. It has torch light, its really handy and is brighter than my old old old old old 1200 4. Its has a fm radio, a very handy applications, the reception is really good. The audio quality is really good. Almost like my old old old 5320 xpress music 5. Its cheap abd reasonable price. In malaysia it cost rm 199 in nokia store. Maybe in normal shop it will cheaper price. But i suggest to buy at nokia store becuz its original. Cons: 1. The earpice is quite low, but not as low as 1200.(weird, the loudspeaker of this handset for radio is loud but the earpiece is quite low. But its a cheap phone so i not really care) 2 the keypad is small for me, becuz i have a large thumb. 3. The legibility of sunlight is quite low. But can see the menu and colour display(a bit) 4. The headset given in this handset retail package is low quality. So i suggest you to buy a higher quality headphone to hear radio even well. Conclusion: i reccommend to every person who want to buy a simple and cheap handset. So thats all my review

  • ive got indian made version of this model specially produced to be sold in iran, i bought it for only 38 dollar, its actually bullet proof! i mean ive done anything you could imagine to it, throw it, tap to hard surfaces, and if breaks apart, just collect the parts, mount them toghether and its ready to use again. i just elctro shocked it, and its dead now! just emptys battery in 3h and heats like a heater and there is no more network coverage!!!

  • hello, guys plz tell me shud i buy 1661 or this nokia 5030 xpress radio plz m waiting for ur reply...

  • good better best.........

  • light weight, durable. not enough memory

  • Well after 3 months of trouble-free but light use, mostly texting, this phone crapped out on me... Turned it on today only to find it asking for a security code, for the first time ever (I'd never activated the feature). Mystified, I entered the default "12345" and found that it had completely reset to default; furthermore, themes 2-7 are gone, nowhere to be found (I loved the Cecropia moth background and it's gone). The list reads 1, 8, onwards. Additionally, as other posters here have related, it refuses to allow me to set the ringtone; when I try it reboots. Can't even access the menu of tones. I was able to restore all other settings except the ringtone, and the original theme I liked. Oh well... I guess you get what you pay for... and I got this one as a "beater", to carry around every day and not worry if broken or lost because it's so cheap. But still, I'd expected more of Nokia. I've never had this kind of problem with any other cell I own (I sort of collect them, so I own many, from most manufacturers and price ranges). My advice at this point would be to pass on this model, given that others seem to have had similar problems; it's apparently a quality-control issue.

  • Nokia 1661 is a nice phone.

  • this phone... i don't know what to say... is this the cheapest nokia phone on the market? can anybody tell me? the buttons looks nice and clean but are hard to press. this is really a basic phone. don't expect so much from it. if you want more and better features, please pay more. you will get it all. it will be good if they allow more words to be written in the reminder notes and contact names. other than this and the annoying hard buttons, overall it is ok. value for money? think carefully...

  • good phone

  • Just bought one yesterday. Design is nice--it feels like one of the more expensive models. Easy to use. It's good for your basic phone, if you're not into the more fancy features.

  • Sorry but its a software fault because when i try to change the ring tone it blanks off. I had that problem with 5handsets already.

  • You pay for what you get. Chances are you are on low end price plan, which explains why you were given this basic phone.

  • Well I just received one of these from my provider as an upgrade to my 4 year old razor. What a joke! I will be blunt here, these phones are a piece of junk! The keys are narrow and hard to push quickly. It has no bluetooth, what phone these days does not have bluetooth! The direction pad has a really cheap feel and the center of it should be the "ok" button but its nothing. The built-in radio is very poor quality and won't work without the headphones plugged in(I assume it uses the headphones as an antenna). There are probably more issues with this phone but that is enough for me, its going back.

  • your right man!

  • I upgraded from a nokia s60 smartphone to this sexy baby. looks good with my ipod!!

  • because it doesnt have any player ^^

  • i am experiencing a problem. When i go into tones to select a song the phone blank's off. Can someone inform me what should i do?

  • oh;;; realy i like this phone ....could u please suggst me should i by this phone ....

  • Oh! i didnt know this at all! Thanks bro, that was a great tip.

  • To increase the receiver volume go on clicking the right arrow button (shows the volume increase) while talking , or in a phone call

  • How do you turn up the receiver volume?

  • I brought my nokia 1661 from Australia to Srilanka around September. Now I am in Srilanka and nobody cannot unlock the country code.Pl help me to unlock same

  • there r two variants to this phone.. 1. Nokia 1661 (Type RH-121).... sar value is.0.91W/kg 2. Nokia 1661 (Type RH-122).... sar value is. 1.38w/kg

  • please can you tell me the sar rating for this handset

  • how to unlock the security code of 1661

  • Biggest drawback of the phone is its volume. Earpiece volume is too low. Even Nokia guys were not able to rectify it. This is not the case with my piece only. Same thing happens with my friend's phone. So do not go by its cool looks (definitely looks stylish) keep this in mind.

  • I love Nokias but the buttons on this one are hard to press to me and there is no way to view your call duration! You can only view the time you made a call. The flashlight is not as bright as the older version (Nokia 1208). The battery life is nothing less than amazing though and the ability to change the theme colors based on a scroll through a rainbow of colors.

  • lovely phone , cover up al my needs, good speaker phone quality , go for nokia (the best)

  • i have this phone.this is sexy phone.i lov this phone.it's torch is too good.according to this budget this phone is perfect.in this budget i will give 10/10.

  • It would be better if the backlight intensity is user definable, which would improve battery life by a great deal. Overall, pleased with this phone. Design is great, though keypad design isnt that user-friendly.

  • I have this phone as a replacement of a 6133 that broke, and out of 10, I would rate it a 2.75. Nokia rushed the assembly for this one. Pros; Flashlight is cool, battery life impressive,FM radio a good idea for add-on when bored. Cons (Ready?); Speakerphone is useless,(expected for $20 phone), texting an adventure with keypad too small for infants, sound quality was poor. I normally like Nokia but, they screwed up with the 1661. I saw a like new classic Samsung T319 I'm picking up tomorrow! Pick up the Motorola W233 Renew instead, just $10 more at Best Buy!

  • You need to set it back to default factory settings. Get your phone numbers and other info out first and do a general reset

  • this handset is only �20 at vodafone uk and that includes 100mins and 300 texts.........FANTASTIC

  • hello guys i get the phone but could not be unlock in my country.am still searching for the software but to no avail please help.am from the GAMBIA in west AFRICA.The phone is exceptional with fantastic features.I really like the phone but i could not use it.

  • As of now this is the best budget phone of Nokia. Unlike Nokia 1202 there is no sound leakage problem in the ear piece. It has also a large colored screen using TFT display unlike nokia 1208 and 1209 which only using CSTN display. It also has a built-in FM radio as a bonus which Nokia 1202, 1208 and 1209 is lacking. The design is in classic form, sleek, slim and very pocket friendly, having the front side made of shiny plastic material thus making the overall look of the phone look-like an expensive phone.

  • I can't seam to get the ringer back on . When I go to the menu I select Settings Tone Settings ringtones and then it takes me back to Security code so I press 12345 select and I have to start over and one time I got to warrning tones on or off I pressed on but still no ring. can you help

  • a very bad cell phone made by nokia. only themes are the shining feature of this brand. the games speed is very slow and no new games and utilities are here in this cell phone. but 1 good thing in this cell phone is the incredible messsage memory.which is really appreciatable thing.

  • Just bought this phone for S$65 in singapore, its very nice user friendly type of nokia phone! definitely like it.

  • I just bought this t-mobile phone for $15 bucks brand new and it came with 130 minutes. After tax $16.20. Good, durable, cheap, reliable phone.

All I want my phone to do is to call people... the heck with all the other bs!

  • the phone is stylish but no advanced features as campare to 1208 or 1209..

  • from my point of view it is good phone with respect to its price but i think there is one of the best application in the mobile wcich is call time tarcker through this application you can set the exact time that you want to speak and when this setted time expire the call will disconnect, try it, it is so beautiful application you can activate it from : setting > Cost setting > Call trackers the default is off you should set it to (Time tracker)to activate it

  • it's a great choice....

  • a very nice mobile. every one must try it.

  • nice phone

  • simply superb phone every one should use it

  • This was my honestly my first cell phone, not the first one I've ever usde, but I've been resisting the overwhelming push to get one from all directions, but finally found a great promo deal from a prepaid company here and took the plunge, got this phone for free when purchasing $100 of prepaid airtime with speakout wireless. It's exactly what I wanted in a phone. Simple, no sliders, no flip crap, no camera, no mp3, no fart buttons, cookbooks, or GPS, basically just a phone. It does SMS of course, and some other junk like a flashlight, talking clock, and FM radio, all of which can be handy but are certainly nothing to write home about in the age of the smartphones. The speaker seems pretty decent to me, I was able to carry on a conversation while walking down a busy street downtown in a major city and only once when a huge truck went by did I miss a couple words. If you want a basic no frills phone that just works this is a great choice in my opinion.

  • sound is very low in comparison to other nokia phone.

  • Very handy...worth the price for its features...to those who wants simple things in life, buy it.

  • yea the loud speaker is not quite loud... but it is handy

  • I have a N1661 now. ;-) I'm so happy.

  • Factory Reset seems to have fixed the ringing tone. I thought of that, but didn't try it until after reading this:

  • My votes against this phone: 1) It sent many messages to the same person (wrong person). Apparently, it does weird things if you don't lock it. 2) I think it's a bit tricky to answer. I want a flip phone next time... 3) It somehow locked itself and I had to call T-Mobile to reset it. That worked, but I lost my call history. 4) It stopped ringing, and trying to change the ring tone turns off the phone. Very buggy phone. I hope they update the firmware soon, but I will likely buy a new phone within a few days, if not today!

  • very nice, good looking phone and at a very reasonable price, i bought 2 dozen and distributed it to the poor people as a diwali gift.

  • it is very light and easy to use and at very reasonable price

  • YEs, it has distribution list, im using it right now but onlu 10 person can be be included in the list.u

  • Got one with T-Mobile USA to use as an EDC (Every Day Carry) since it was on sale for $14.99; a "throwaway" price. Pros: Very nice screen for a low-end device. Colors are vibrant and screen is bright, resolution more than ample in consideration of the phone's abilities. FM radio! Finally a low-end Nokia offered in the US with this feature. Until now, the Nokia offerings here in the States have glaringly lacked this (we Americans pretty much get stuck with the rest of the world's cellular has-beens, at least on GSM), even though it is pretty standard on most of their models. Tools: a decent suite, and even a composer. Build quality: Seems solid enough, not exactly built like a proverbial brick s***house a la some older Nokia models (and new high-end ones) but not flimsy-feeling either. Nice and slim, easy to put in your pocket and forget it's there. Flashlight: a useful feature made somewhat less so because of the need to navigate menus to turn it on, but still handy. If there were one-button access, it would be much better. Themes, tones, etc. As included by T-Mo, quite a generous selection making it easily customizable, with "something for everyone" in stark contrast to their previous scant and lame offerings. Also not overly "branded" by T-Mo, retains most of the original Nokia "flavor". Ringers and tones are amply loud, except the keypad beeps which are too weak (for my taste) even on the highest setting. Cons: Only two backlight timeout settings, both much too short. No volume rocker, which is inconvenient as one has to take the phone away from one's ear to change the loudness in-call. No notepad or voice recorder for to-do lists, etc. This is a major drawback. I suppose in a pinch, one could append notes as "contacts" or use the reminder calendar but it's silly not to have this simple yet important and nearly universal capability as a standalone (even on the cheapest phones). Cannot be unlocked by hypersim. Functions will work and it will read your sim, but network radio is disabled. This is likely a new T-Mo strategy to combat the use of hypersims (until now, it seems most if not all T-Mo offerings could be easily unlocked this way). It may not apply to non-US models. In any case, I'm sure in time the good folks of the cellular-hacking community will find a counter-countermeasure. ;) Keys not quite as tactile as other models; maybe because they are very smooth, and have no "standoff", it's hard to explain but the keypad has a quality about it that renders it subpar for heavy texters. Center 4-way nav toggle is too flush with keypad and doesn't function as "select/enter" or "accept/ok" (the left hotkey serves this function) as on many other models so it takes getting used to. No GPRS/WAP capability. I guess for a basic talk-and-text device this isn't really unexpected, however with that nice, bright and decent sized screen to make better use of it, it would have made more sense to include this feature on this model than others in the same price range such as the 2610 with it's little, dim postage-stamp of a display. No mp3 player, memory card slot, or data port (the micro-usb/CA-45 on the left spine is for authorized technician and unauthorized hacker use only). ;) Neither any camera, bluetooth, picture viewer, etc. Of course these aren't really "cons" per se as nobody in their right mind should expect to find these on such a low-end phone. Bottomline, for what it is, and what it does, it does pretty well and fills its niche as an inexpensive, talk-and-text device nicely.

  • good mobile user friendly

  • this mobile is having nice key pad and looks very smart

  • according to the specs it doesn't have a cammera ... magic???

  • so far ok na man cya ito gamit ko na model ngaun....

  • how load wallpapers.ringtones,etc i have data cable,usb data cable driver etc

  • Hi, Does anyone knows if this phone can read more than 500 SIM Card contacts? Some of the phone like N2626/N1650 can read up to only 250 SIM Card contacts. Any idea?

  • I bought this phone yesterday. I have two queries, How can I view the Missed calls register ? as the option in the call register shows only the dialled numbers and not missed calls ? Also, all my incoming calls are displayed as Private number? I am unable to see the number of person calling. I tried from my own (secondary) mobile number, instead of displaying the number, it displays private number. kindly advise.

  • I bought made in India. but it was wrost experience with me,First I found it convinient,but i dont know how its internal screen got craked in tow months and nokia center wont ready to replace or repair in warranty. so i dedided to give more money on repair but still they said, it can cost you more than its cost new mobile.. its was my worst experience in my life becoz i 1st time buy a mobile(i.e nokia mobile). Still looking for another model in hope that same story wont happento me. the market in qatar is abundent from made in china(or india).

  • i like it bcs model is very slim

  • hey guyz do any one know when their will be a unlocking soft or code to unlcok this phone ??????????????????????????????????????

  • I paid $19.99 from T-Mobile

  • it is a nice phone i m using it such a fantstic phone.........

  • Cost: $19.95 No Built in GPS: Awesome Registered to: Anonymous Unlimited Minutes through T-Mobile: $49 Contract: No Good cheap phone. Sound is 9/10. Keypad is 7.5/10. Weight and form factor: 8/10. Ringing volume / call volume / vibrate = all 8/10 but hard to set up right.

  • I picked one of these up when visiting the US for a week and wanted a local number. It cost USD$10, and it's a phone. It can make calls, and it can receive them. It can send and receive SMS. There are other features, but really, as a phone, it just does phone stuff. If you want a phone, it's a phone. If you want anything else, this phone isn't going to be for you. Well, okay, it does have a few more features; This one came with a headset so you can use it as an FM radio. There are a couple of games pre-installed. You can use it as a torch/flashlight. At the end of the day however, it's a very simple, but actually kinda cool looking telephone that you can talk to other people on without wires.

  • If your phone is asking for a security code the default security code is 1234

  • i cant set the ring tone as soon as i click to ringer the phone shuts off, can anyone help? when ppl cal me i miss the calls because its on silent.

  • I used the phone 1 day, let charge overnight, every time I try to turn on my phone, it asks for a security code even though I never changed the setting. So now I have no access to my phone except emergency numbers. The store could not reset the se...

  • Hi everyone. I bought this mobile some while ago for the foremost reason that I like a simple one. I am fed up with mobiles with cameras, memories for mp3s etc. So, I had to look for something simplistic. So, before going to buy it, I had to look for reviews online, everywhere and frankly speaking, from what I read, be it on this website or eleswhere, I could have been discouraged to buy it from many negative comments I came across. Let me tell you that they are all wrong!!! I don't see how the reviewers could come across so many problems as personally I didn't come across any of them. So, let me tell you the specifications and their relevant feed backs. Messaging: Simply superb. You can type in up to 918 characters at one go and you have the dictionary available, but personally I don't use it, so I can deactivate it. Keypad: While looking at pictures online before buying it, I thought to myself that it would be very difficult to use those keypads especially that I text a lot and I mean it. Folks, they keypads are simply incredibly responsive, meaning you can text in your messages really fast. For those having Xtra Large fingers, it will be a problem though :D Applications: You can put in your alarm, programme it for the whole week continuously. Only one alarm time can be set though contrary to some other mobiles on the market where you can insert alarm for different times of the day. The reminder's option works the same way as any other nokia mobiles, meaning you put in your reminder's details, time and date; that's all. The battery life is long and it gets recharges really fast! The tones available are limited though, but enough for someone looking for a mobile mobile and using it only for texting and calling. Personally I only use vibration outside the house; so it's really not an issue for me. The only problem that I see is that compared to Motorola mobile, you have the option at a go to just choose vibrate only, or sound only or both. But on this you have to lower the ring tone completely to cut the sound and have to put vibration off if you want to to use only sounds. But all this can be resolved by using the profile option though. Also, the messages in your inbox aren't numbered; so on a practical view point, it's not a problem, but if someone stores above 100 sms in the inbox and want to locate a particular sms, that will be a problem. So, again it's not a major issue if you don't store sms so long to review again and again. Regarding the radio, you will have your ear piece that you can use for calling too if you're driving. The sound quality is very good (for radio listening and calling). I think that's all I can comment upon. Overall, I am satisfied with the mobile and frankly I'm impressed owing to the prejudice I had pertaining to it after having read all the comments on the mobile. Like I said above, I like simple mobiles without complication. I use them only for texting and calling, so really it is simply worth it and for its price it's damn good. I advise people to go for it without any second thoughts!!!

  • Same thing happened to me. Try the default code of 12345. if this works go into the menu and search around until youget to an option to restore Factory defaults. If this doen't work, try your service provider. hope this helps

  • GR8 PHONE at this price!!!

  • Hey! the same thing happened to me which was the third and final problem I had with it before I exchanged it at walmart. After much to do the code that needed to be entered is 12345 -Hope that helps

  • code 12345

  • I had this phone twice. The first time the speaker was broken and the software was bad (snake and sms typing were very slow). The second time the antenna was broken and the software was slow (again). The store sent my phone to nokia, they couldn't fix it. So I'm going back to my favorite phone: Nokia 2310. Don't buy this phone, it's crap!

  • Simply tapping the red button under the powersaver mode will bring up the clock, albeit for a fixed short duration.

  • Does anybody know how to get the reflective clock to show up in the background when the screen goes off to sleep? I noticed this cool clock several times but was never able to figure out how to control its duration or occurence. Thanks.

  • nice cellphone!!! even it does not have great specs but it is affordble..and convenient to use... thank you

  • Phone automatically resets itself when I try to set ringing tones. No access. Phone does not ring at all. I miss all my calls then iget a beep that i have a msg. When Iset the ringing volume to 4 or 5 levels it resets itself back to level 1. it also erases all my missed calls, received calls and calls made so i miss out on all my information. almost every othet time it is doing something else. Iam so disappointed in this 1661. I have had many Nokia phones in the past and have been recommending them. This one has to be tossed.

  • Nokia 1661 model worst performance network tower not properly detecting,so suddenly suddenly call cut and network signal also cut, audio sound poor performace ,so finally my conclude this model nokia 1661 mobile bad performance..

  • Nokia claims that 1661 has a powerful built-in antenna which gives very good signal reception. Anyone know how powerful it is? How far from the base station can 1661 still catch up with the signal?

  • I bought it yesterday. It is very hard to remove the back cover. Anyone, please advise!

  • What can cause this: After pressing dialing button i have to press the button above it to have it dial:: Please assist

  • stuppid phone never buy it.

  • Bought this phone through 7 eleven speak out wireless. Buying the 100$ prepaid card this phone cost me 29$. It is well worth 29$ with no contract signing. The keypad sucks and it doesn't even have T9 (predictive) texting. But the battery life is awesome, I can go 3 days without charging and I only loose 2/6 battery bars and it takes me all of 15 minutes to charge it again. The reception is pretty good too. My office building is notoriously bad for reception, but I have no problems. Lastly I don't even notice it in my pocket it is so small. Another cool feature is that when the screen is asleep it has a transflective clock in the background so it is clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight. All that being said, I plan on buying a different phone (had to buy a phone to get on with speakOut, when really I only wanted the SIM card) mostly because of the small keypad and the lack of T9.

  • if you want high or loud ringtones try to connect a speaker or buy yourself hearing aids

  • I have 1661 with TMobile. The phone was working fine, now it asks for the security code every time and there are no ring tones available to choose from. Does anyone know how to fix this???

  • Hi Soeb Salam Thanks for giving useful opinion Nice guys you hv time for this God Bless u all K B

  • Well said shoeb ! NOBODY should buy this phone ! This phone is rubbish. Keypad too small and low ringtones. As i mentioned below if you want a good basic nokia with comfortable keypad and loud ringtones then buy the NOKIA 2323 or the NOKIA 2330.

  • Hi plz can anyone tell me that does this phne have sms memory meter that is does it tell how many sms are there in inbox plz tell

  • I have a Nokia 1661 but the speed dial set up in the shop is incorrect. How do I change a number or name in speed dial I cannot find a delete key and the * button does not work with speed dial it only says ON Off Edit and Edit only says assign or back. Help would be appreciated

  • Plus points: long battery life, big sms memory. Negative points: very hard keypad, there is no numburing of messages in inbox.

  • Please people dont buy this phone.. please dont.. you will suffer like me.. I sold this phone within 3 days and bought Samsung 1210.. and Believe me samsung 1210 is 1000 times better than this piece of nokia's Sh*t.. The Problems in Nokia 1661 disgusting keypad low ringtone volume poor vibrating when i got to contacts by pressing the shorcut key it hangs. msging is pain in a** even its torch is so sick it comes out like a Horizontal Line. YOU WILL WASTE YOUR MONEY IF YOU BUY THIS.. BELIEVE ME if you are a Hardcore Nokia FAN still buy some other Nokia Phone Not this one.

  • Anybody wanting to purchase a good basic phone should NOT buy this phone ! I have recently tried a nokia 2330 in a shop and this phone is excellent. The ringtones are LOUD, you will not miss a call. Also the KEYPAD is comfortable with decent sized keys. These are 2 important factors to consider when buying a new phone. If you want a good basic phone then go for the nokia 2330. I think that the nokia 2323 is the same too as they are very similar phones so it should be a good buy as well. WELL DONE NOKIA AT LAST !

  • Hi, For this phone,, I can just say- Its excellent, superb.. if you want to buy a basic phone.. So pls go for this..

  • please tell me that how can i talk with my phone without incresing the call duration so that my brother will not be able to know that i am talking with my girlfriend. Is it possible with some cheatcode???

  • the default security code for nokia cellphones is 12345

  • Can anyone tell me how to remove the (security code ) which I never put in and now doesn't let me do anything

  • 1661 phone is a good but if display brocken it not possibal to change. and sound also is very poor and key pad also is to hard to press.

  • my friend bought a nokia 1661 and she is really complianing about the ringing tone and the calling volume is very poor.

  • its simple on size...... its rigtones r good on quality.... its cheap and good

  • Can anybody tell how to unlock the security code for keypad????

  • to see the clock in powersaver mode, just hit the red on/off button. otherwise, i agree that it's not the best keypad, but what do you want for the price? it's the cheapest phone that i could find, and it's actually quite sleek and works well for me so far. biggest complaint is that it creaks a lot as the back doesn't seem to fit properly. cheaply made in that respect, but it otherwise works well and is very inexpensive. eventually i'm going to upgrade to the new nokia 3720.

  • I bought the nokia 1661 yesterday and i have already decided to give it to a charity shop. This phone is no good for me due to the very small buttons on the keypad. The keypad is soft to touch but it is no good for a mans big fingers. Another problem is that the ringtones are not loud enough as stated on the nokia website and the vibrate alert is very poor. You will definitely miss calls outdoors with this phone. Also it is almost impossible to see the power saver clock in standby mode. I will NOT be buying the nokia 1202, 1662 or 5030 either as no doubt the above problems will be in these phones as well and i would be wasting my money. I currently use the nokia 1112 and the nokia 1600 and the ringtones are louder on these, the vibrate alert is much stronger in your pocket and the keypads are very comfortable with bigger buttons and you can easily see the power saver clock. Nokia used to excel at making great basic phones like the 1100, 1110, 1112, 1600, 3410, 3510i etc. NOT ANY MORE......!!!!!

  • it is nice looking, and it is in reach in normal people.

  • worst keypad..but has 500 phone book entries..FM is better than nokia 2626

  • Hi, could anyone help to find out how to unlock the number which I have blocked by accident? It shows the incoming number on the screen, however the ringtone does not work:( Thank you! PS there is no any explanation in the operating manual...

  • I don't know how to use the loudspeaker or voice mail. There are no instructions in the manual which is very limited

  • want 2 remove operator logo, Goto MENU,SETTINGS,then OK in that DISPLAY SETTINGS scroll down and then goto operator logo on\off. 9966203452

  • Hey everyone. I wanna purchase 1661 in warrenty and good condition. If u have one for sale, do contact me. 03214222960

  • Does this thing has a flashlight on it ?

  • Does this thing has a camera on it ?

  • I found Nokia 1662 keypad is wost because keys are really in not out. Its not for most of SMS user.

  • Yes you are right. But now i have bought this set 1661. This set is specially for ladies.

  • In the specs is saying dual band but then specifies all four bands... what is the truth? is this a quad band?

  • I found this phone very nice.just wana know abt the msg memory or capicity as its not mentioned even in iits specification..plz some one tell me abt msg storage capicity of this phone?

  • can i download more games from my pc or net

  • The only difference between nokia 1661 and nokia 1662 is that the nokia 1662 has a better keypad with bigger buttons. If you are a man you would be better off buying the nokia 1662 as we men have bigger hands.

  • Speakerphone is fine, just push the right side of the square pad while you are on speakerphone and it will turn the volume up and down.

  • To tune into a channel just hit "Options" when you are in Radio mode, then Select "Auto-Tuning" and hit "Select", then just move up or down with the key pad and it will tune into the first station it senses, keep doing this until you find the station you want. Hope this helps.

  • wah kia baat hai is fone ki oscam simply outstanding zabardast functions and nice slim style love NOKIA mmmmuuuaahhhhhh

  • i love this phone! it's very light to carry. it's slim. soft keypad. lots of sms to be saved. nice & colorful & beautiful themes. nice megapixels. it has a radio (i love listening to music). i'm just sad because gprs/mms cannot be activated on this phone. doesn't have java. no usb cord included. i would love to download my pics & music here & receive mms/gprs here but it's not part of the available features huhuhu. but like they said, there is no such thing as a perfect phone.

  • it is hang ? hmm.. maybe you should hung yourself.. hahaha.. :D

  • Hey!. I want congratulate a person like you, who is used to a high tech gadget like iphone, but is very able to appreciate a low-end budget like this amazing Nokia 1661. Thanks.

  • how to set radio channel in this phone?

  • 1661 mobile very good and iam recenlty purchase thz mobile its is very fast and smoth typing i very love thz mobile but radio sound is slow but i love it(K)

  • Excellent phone,i loved it.

  • i am buying 1661 tell me is it ok or not

  • i bought 1661 mobile phone but it is hang and speker phone sound is very low

  • Flash light construction is very bad. It is worth less. Also nokia's dedicated screen is missing in which during sunlight screen is visible. In this set display is not properly visible during daylight like SAMSUNG, LG, SE

  • If your phone is set to alarm as radio the alarm tone wont ring. Because your handfree might be out of the phone. Change your alarm tone yourself problem will be solved. I have one no issues.

  • I bought this phone yesterday, but the alarm is not working. Is this a known problem? Thanks.

  • Brought this phone One month back. Earpiece volume is low, got a serious problem with the backside speaker phone sound leaks from back side speaker much louder than the earpiece during oridnary call. Battery backup is Ok. Anybody has faced the issues mentioned.?

  • 'hey plz tell me cn i attach dis phone with pc....if yes then which data cable i hav to buy.has it contain mp3 tones...or simply polyphonic...' Nokia phones do not add any USB connection function on those phones begin with 1XXX (low-end phones) while phones of Samsung or LG have. What an irony.

  • yae

  • could someone please tell me how to switch on this phone. I 've managed to somhow switch it off. Thanks

  • no it dnt have that clock type as in 1208, 'NO' key ve to b pressed to see the clock

  • hi.... has 1661 VOICE RECORDER or not ????????? plzz tell me .

  • Does anyone know if the 1661 has a large-enough digital clock that can be seen while the phone is on standby? It would be the type that doesn't need backlighting. The Nokia 1208 has this feature. The standby clock display is fairly large, easy to read and can be set to always show when the phone is on standby.

  • hey plz tell me cn i attach dis phone with pc....if yes then which data cable i hav to buy.has it contain mp3 tones...or simply polyphonic...

  • nice fone very good colour scheme and out look is very good in a very afford able price.

  • yes there is.

  • This is the best low budget phone.... The batery stand by time is upto 3 days... FM sound quality is also OK. Really good low budget phone.

  • it is very nice in looking, its create professionality in the sense, its radio works in good circumstances, if this model have memory card option it will run most better than other handset, price also sincere. good product by NOKIA CORPORATION THANKS TO NOKIA FOR PRODUCING SUCH PRODUCED TO CONNECTING THE PEOPLE THROUGH OUT THE WORLD.

  • mjhe yeh mobile bht passaannd heeeeeeeeee

  • The standard security code for Nokia is 12345. You could have search on the internet.

  • Also getting that stupid security code thing.

  • i want to know if this mobile includes caller groups or not???????? any one can help plz

  • I bought one of these last month, and I'm on my 2nd (and final) already. The first one worked fine, was a little quiet, but all the phone I needed for $20. The flashlight is also awesome. The battery life specified by tmobile and nokia doesn't seem to be right, though. The longest it has lasted for me is 5 days, and my old nokia lasted for up to a week depending on usage. The first one randomly asked me for a security code one day, and after hours of phone time with a tmobile tech person, they concluded that it is impossible to get past the security code and I had to send my phone back. The new one worked fine for a few weeks. Now the new phone they sent is asking me for a security code that I never set. Suck it up and spend more on another phone because this is just not worth the hassle. This is also the first nokia I have ever had problems with.

  • nice phone. sound is clear and nice interface for an affordable price.

  • Nice it would even be better if it had gprs & camera. Stil its good for the price.

  • when nokia-1662 introduced on ur site?

  • the fone is really great; very simple and the best avaialble this budge; excellent battery and very good reception of the radio. all in all it is a very good fone in this price range.

  • like it, simple

  • Its not good

  • hi im agree wid u

  • as beautiful as the phone why is GPRS no available on the phone. well it ok on it own.

  • click on red button to check the clock,incoming call or any incoming message.pls try this

  • price is miximum as compair to phone set so i don't agree that price

  • thats looking nice but not huge functions in short nothing.

  • what are the other color in this phone?

  • realy its a good model.and beautiful screensaver

  • the message memory is very less than 250 so please add correctly.

  • Good Screen, Beautiful wall papers..but poor $ weak key pad..low ringing volume But its good yap Cool

  • The port on the side isn�t for data transfer. It�s for SW updating at the service points.

  • This phone is realy an ossam one...i realy like it..i am using it...no 1 can say its a cheap phone according to looks... it only contains 1 prob. of low ringing vol..otherwise its more than good...... I LOVE THIS SET

  • NIce looking phone.................snake game speed tooo slow

  • Is there any in call timer??? Pls inform me.

  • I have the Nokia 1661. What is the strange port in between the phone plug and the ear piece plug? It looks like some kind of data transfer. It would be really nice if i could get something more on this phone.

  • I THiNk tHeRe iZ A BiG DaMn pRoB In uR EaRz oR CeLl pHoNe...................kIndLy cHeCk iT OuT.............. FiNd tHe sOl .............OK !! iM uSiNg sAmE SeT............ bT ThEre Iz nO SuCh pRoB ThT U R WRiTtEn......... okzzzzzzzzz !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the display (time, number of messages, etc) is hard to see when its on the standy mode (keypad locked, no backlight). Just its weird having that display which is not visible when light turns off.

  • good waqas! your decision is correct i am with you

  • I want to buy this mobile, i need this for msging but through comments i have come to know that its keypad is so hard, so, i cancel the programe to buy this

  • The display is excellent. The extras like spreadsheet are very good features. The flash light is so good and bright. It's worth for the money

  • it is good handset but keypad is hard other wise set is very good

  • I bought this phone as a temporary replacement while my iPhone is being repaired. I think it's fatastic value for money as it has evreything you'd need in a phone, just without the extras. I find it easy to text with, the battery life is great and I haven't noticed much of a problem with the ringtone volume when it's in the LOUD profile! Overall, I recommend it to anyone who wants a phone purely for texting/calling and doesn't mind about extra gadgets.

  • pls.if u like cheap,boring,colorless phones this is for u just not for someone like me...

  • Your opinion is very mych interesting and right...!!

  • in this i founnd there is no single language key buttons in this model onle having double language buttons it was some difficulty to use

  • Low ringing volume is the a big drawback of this phone...

  • The phone is excellent with spreadsheet, flash light, Radio, Sleek, Good Battery long lasts more than 4 to 5 days. In short excellent phone.

  • Dont Buy This Phone Its A Very Bad Phone Hard Keypads Low Voleum Ringtones Very Week Signel FM

  • hey its a gud modal phon. n n gud at cost ! thnq!!!!!!!!

  • Hows the key pad? mesg writnig????

  • My boyfriend and I wanted to buy this phone so we can use it solely for texting and calling because we've heard that it has long battery life. However when I read the reviews, some said that keypads are hard everytime you keep on typing. Now, that's very exhausting then....Is it going to be worthy it we'll buy this phone?

  • for how many hours does the battery of this phone lasts?

  • the phone is ok. disadvantage is the ring tone.. the battery is ok.

  • i had 2626 with same problem of low ringtones. then i downloaded a few tones and they were louder than the default ones. you all can try it out.

  • is nokia 1661 antenna signal good?

  • The battery is extremely good. I am using this phone

  • Please dont buy this phone,this is ridiculous phone i have ever purchased.my contacts deleted without any intimation.my messages are deleted without any intimation.Nokia should do something about this because this phone greatly damage the reputation of Nokia in Pakistan.

  • i buy this phone yesterday, the thing i hate about it is its hard keypad for typing sms. its really hard even my thumb tired. and second thing is its low ringing volume, you have to active vibration if its in you pocket. design is good, screen colors are awesome, radio is good.

  • Dear ones.Just tell me one thing. Is there any mobile traker and emergency message system in any Nokia Phone?

  • dont buy it. you can hardly hear it when your phone rings. you'll miss all ur calls. speaker volume is toooo low!!!!!!!

  • I have this phone, but it's not my primary phone, just to send sms and for calling. The torch is useful thig, and the radio is enought loud. Only thing that phone have no any connections (maybe usb). Good battery, color ekran with themes and colour shemes, radio, speaking clock, 3 games, ringtone composer,torch. 2 point of 10 from me.Thats all. Sorry for my english.

  • Hi friends. I plan to buy this model for my mom. She will use mobile for speaking phone and torch. And battery should not get down sooner. Any idea.

  • Just as I read here the speaker problem is there but in reality worse than it can be defined here and that is the reason I made a mistake and went ahead I bought it even after after reading the reviews. It is a ridiculous problem with no solution the nokia care and united mobile did not help. They are rude and unprofessional people with no customer care orientation. The Nokia 1661 which i bought just a month back had the same problem and i had to sell it the next day on loss and I am on my way to sell this ridiculous 1202 as well. Nokia is the worst brand of this and the past year and this will become a reality. DO NOT BUY THESE PHONES IN PAKISTAN, THERE IS NO REFUND POLICY. NO WAY OUT THAN LOOSING YOUR PRECIOUS MONEY.

  • In an TV advertisement that the signal and receiption is better than other. As it right? Anybody who answer about this.

  • big problem is that sound goes outside and also u can talk from back side the speaker quality is not so good sa poor

  • This is a very great phone - I'll tell you in a list, the good and bad for every feature: Rating is 1 thru 10 Keypad-9 SMS-8 Calling-10 FM Radio-10 Overall-7 It's an alright phone

  • phone hangs a lot..i will dump it as soon as possible..but still nokia is the best

  • Keypad is not well. I think Nokia going to dropping their standard by introducing such sets.

  • yes u can surely connect a data cable

  • How'z d battery life time of Nokia 1661 with moderate use??it is mentioned here dat talk time is 4 hr 10 min which i think less than other Mokia cells in this range...............

  • I just bought the phone yesterday. The phone is slim and has a flashlight! the style is quite nice too, except the key buttons are quite small so may not be suitable for boys. It's a simple phone and doesn't have camera or music player but it has most of the common features like calendar and alarm plus it has quite a few choices of nice ringtones! This phone is advertised to have a good battery life so can't wait to try it out and see if it is true; also, someone said this phone has a hang problem!? Hope it's not true as it can be so annoying to be cut off in the middle of a conversation!

  • it looks like a gud phone...it looks cool...i m interested 2 use dis cell phone...lets see how its gud.i hope i will like it a lot............

  • good phone,but sometimes it hang like n series.

  • BAD!!! ahan duli allah...

  • Excuse me, Pardon me if I am wrong. Some are saying that 1661 spreads a huge sound and some are saying not. What is the reality ?

  • Its really a smart phone with excellent FM sound quality and good screen colors. Especially slim. Its really enjoyable!

  • Can somebody tell me with what cable I can connect this phone with PC? thanks

  • Please let me know about the quality of sound of FM of this phone. Is it as good as FM of nokia 2626 or just ordinary like of nokia 1650. I want to buy a good fm phone for around 1800. should I buy this one or go for samsung guru E1210 as both nokia 1661 and samsung 1210 are of same price range??? Please let me know dear readers?

  • any person who have extra odinary power to hear can purchase this rest is ok

  • i purchased it yesterday it is very stylish and sexy look cell phone with large screen, radio, flashlight, 3 games but keypad is too small that may distrub u in smsing but practice will make u happy thanks and sorry for english mistakes

  • why u prefer this 1661 whether for low rate or battery lifetime or color quality low sound plz describe?

  • Cheap, long lasting, decent features. Perfect for small child or hazardous environment where you don't have to care that it will be destroyed. Disposable.

  • I just got this phone and I'm quite impressed with it so far. As a "basic" phone, it does the job very well. I prefer the interface to the one I had on my old Motorola and it has a nicer screen. OK, it doesn't have a camera or a music player on it, but so what? If you want those, buy a more expensive phone (or, better yet, a separate camera and MP3 player). That's not to say it's featureless, though. It has a built-in radio, a couple of games, stopwatch, flashlight, etc - and it's available for less than �15 in the UK, if you buy it tied to a network. Who can complain about that? As for the comment about "low sound"... huh? It sounds plenty loud enough to me!

  • its a horrible phone with low sound

  • nokia 1661 is horrible... I hated this.there is nothing in the phone.. no music not even a camera.I reqest all no to buy this jurk

  • nokia 1661 is horrible... I hated this

  • i have recently purchased this phone.....dnt go for this phone ....it has got such low ring volume.....and the phone is very delicate

  • Hi, Can anyone know how to see it's SMS memory ? Any comments regarding this matter will highly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Awesome shape.. with great color and mirror like keypad.

  • Very nice... sturdy... price effective...

  • Plz tell me about colour screen i think grafics are not good tkanks

  • no

  • This phone is as stylish a budget phone can be. PROS: strong vibrate features, bright LED torch, user-friendly interface, 65K-color screen is bright and beatiful. CONS: keys are tightly spaced together (composing text messages is somewhat a chore), loudspeaker is mediocre compared to the nokia 1110i, even with the ring volume set in maximum the ringtones are not as audible as with other nokia models (missed most of my calls even inside my home!).. VERDICT: now selling this in eBay!

  • Plz note that i am using Nokia 7260 since 2005-Nov ...i recently purchased this for my mom ...the ringtones are not audible ...whereas SE and LG has verygood audible ringtones ...correct that, "nokia should not release the phones like a magazines..."

  • its awl perfect....... i luv it simplie awesum

  • outclass fone serious ......simple beauty and oscam !!! lovely features & much more !!!!

  • Ya Its Good......compare other low cost mobiles... Buy & Enjoy.......

  • Do you buy phones like magazines? This is an inexpensive phone so your comments like "Very bad phone by nokia coz it's a basic phone, buy LG, Sony Ericsson etc." are stupid.

  • USD40.00 PKR3200.00 Very basic phone with FM Radio Plus : Price Minus : Uncomfortable/Noise KEYPAD Better to buy Samsung E Series Very basic phones

  • $20

  • very gooooood cell phone

  • veeeeeeeeeeeeRy veeeeeeeeeeeRy beautiful set,battery power long life ,purchase this and enjoy yor life

  • Absolutely waste phone�.DON�T BUY this phone�. Such a crap phONE by Nokia Poor in ring tones, speaker is not audible at home, keypads are not spacious� Not worth for money� Please look for Sony Ericsson, Samsung or LG

  • plz go to market &check it

  • hahahahaha stupid phones made by nokia.....better buy G-Tide hahahaha

  • so miserable loudspeaker.it's difficult to change cover. no attraction color.when i press power button second time,it occur switch off button and most of the time i make it power off.

  • it's 12345

  • Too much Vibration in all 1202, 1203, 1661, 1662, handsets Really Nokia is worst than Chinese phones these days. You can get GPRS phone NKTEL, www.nktel.org at same price with Camera ,Bluetooth, mp3 player, video player etc..

  • I have just bought this set. its good in this price. Atleast it has quality trade mark of Nokia. I was using LG KG 195, I sold it and bought this one. although the previous one had much more features but for a commoner they are not of much use. besides Nokia is user friendly. I recommend this phone for the users who have low budget but require a stylish handset. What else can you ask for in this price.

  • its a good phone among basic models.it has all the features of a good mobile(in basic models).so,if you are thinking to purchase it you are on the right track

  • what is the nokia 1661 price?

  • 12345

  • can we download anything at all in ths cell?nokia 1661.im totally bashed up maan.

  • its the normal keyguard code of ur service provider.say airtel then 12345

  • It's user guide doesn't include the keyguard code so the keyguard is useless!!! What kind of phone is that?! If anyone know where to get my Nokia 1661 keyguard code just email me at [email protected] it's brand new...

  • Dont buy it !!!! I have just sold out my Nokia 1661, which was not upto the mark. The speaker quality was very low while talking (even i set it on maximum), keypads are too difficult for typing and its plastic material was so cheap/light that could be easily breakable. THis phone doesnt have GPRS. :( If you dont believe me, just go and take a trial use for 5 minutes. Now, I am using Samsung E1210...which is lot better than Nokia 1661, in terms of speaker, keypad and built quality, plus it has GPRS.

  • I have just bought this phone and for a 35 eur phone incld tax (free of any phone provider or monthly fees) is just awesome it is Made in Romania ( I am from Romania) and no defects so far :P .. no really i love it . it is so simple i have forget how nice is to have a phone just to call somebody :) ( former e71 owner :P )

  • i agree its just no NOKIA (anymore) better qaulity in SAMSUNG at least there not in CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is phone is very very waste dubagor phone... plssssss don't buy..........

  • it has a msg counter....atleast.

  • guys one more thing. here is link to the specs and pics of the 1662"

  • as an active eBay seller I am planning to get a phone that has the following: bright torch/flashlight & good-volume FM radio, a shortcut key to creating messages, and has a loudspeaker mode when talking. I want a phone as durable as the old 1110 and if possible has a dedicated key for spoken time like the 1110. I don't need a camera, bluetooth, infrared, wifi, java-enabled phone (I want a phone not a plaything). I went to SM manila (a mall) and found a nokia 1661 selling for 2,200 pesos only..then side-by-side the store is also selling a nokia 1662 for the same price. saleslady said that basically both are the same except that the keypad layout is different: the 1662 keypad is reminiscent of the keypad layout of the 1200's series: single pad that seems to be dust- & watersplash-resistant. any of you guys own the 1662 (said to be an updated design of 1661) and does it have the same capabilities of 1661 like good-volume FM radio and flashlight as well as long battery life? and to my fellow "kababayans" where can I purchase nokia phones that are 'original' and not 'class A' (I don't wanna be duped into buying imitation ones) here in the philippines, with an NTC-approved sticker?

  • ill use this cellphone in one but why there inbox is full without any message!!!

  • Nokia time by time its getting WORST product. From Finland to "Made by Nokia" and Made in China now. Better I buy a China product directly such as ZTE, Nexian, HT Mobile, etc.etc.

  • First of all this model is a cheap n low end phone,for such a price what to complain about..buy a cordless phone if feel is not value for money den.

  • can v connect it to a pc?

  • dont give ur opinion rash dude its finally nokia only.and b satisfied if not dont buy

  • ya ur right dude

  • Its nice phone with flash light and fm radio

  • Front side plate is like mirror finish and looks awesome, Back side is just good, New type torch comparing to previous nokia models, the light is in ------ this shape,like a line so it spreads. the screen is pretty good and big for its cost comparing other models in its price line. the Battery backup is solid, the buttons looks sexy but FM is not so good last line : buy this if you are looking for below 2000rs models.hard to beat. I also use Sony Ericsson W580i

  • I'm using it as a secondary phone from the past one month. It's a Bull-Shit phone. The build quality is very low as if you're using a cheap Chinese phone. Problem during call as our voice gets interrupted when we speak with other party. Loudspeaker when On vibrates the phone. Don't buy it.

  • yes we can change its casing..............!!!!!!!!

  • There is no GPRS? Is it possible?

  • battery quality is not up to the mark,but this is nokia=love

  • its sample and best phone resalable price

  • Nokia 1661 is beautiful & smart cell fone.It has long battry timing.Love nokia.

  • nokia 1661 is a smart cell fone.

  • i bought this phone at telecom world @ rob ermita i kind a have a little complain about the battery it lasted less than 36 hrs few days after i go back to the store where i purchased it and the saleslady said to me dat this kind of nokia new model phone have a weak battery and im kinda lucky it lasted in 36-48hrs even without using as much of its function like the radio,ring tones etc..only to find out dat the battery included when i bought it bnew is not original, a fren told me dat a orig battery of a nokia phone must have a hologram sticker this one has none at it luks like a class b batt..well i think it also my fault not giving it much attention when i bought it coz im kinda confident dat the unit i bought is bnew and orignal.. i think this serve as a warning to all u peeps b4 buying a phone kindly inspect ur units if the accesories are original..

  • Bought this model recently been using after its launch..a slick phone with acceptable screen size,features is not much but prefer with bluetooth built in,bought cos of its torchlight function n design does not look lik a cheap phone..and best of all is its battery lasting time..been at least more den 3 days not charging it..for those who wans a simple phone with no extra features n budget costing,this one i truely recommend!

  • Plz tell me about nokia 1661 "can we change its casing"??????????????????????????? ?????????

  • I purchased this phone recently and i found it worth for its value. Its got good trendy style and is also very handy Though the body is plastic fibre but with this durability is also more. Its quite slim and light weight with a wide screen cmpared to Nokia previous basic models 1208,1650 and also 2626. Battery life is amazing and even FM is also very loud Overall good handset in a low budget. Those who ar looking for a basic handsets without any extra features like bluetoot,mp3 camera and all can definitely go for it

  • Hi, I think it's really nice phone. I've just bought it and my first impression was that it's so cute. Stylish, nice, little phone, a perfect solution for women. Most of them don't really need anything apart from calling and writing messages. What really counts for most women? Nice design, lightness; bright, quite big display. And that's it! Nokia 1661 has all mentioned features. Maybe the keypad is far too small for big men, but providing they (mostly) prefer phones full of whistles, this phone will be loved by women, children and elder people. I really recommend it for those circles.

  • Nokia sucks Big time

  • which mobile is having high intensuty tourch light among 1650 and 1661??????

  • very true i am totally agreed with you nokia is dying god bless its soul if it have one lol ha ha ha

  • after seeing nokia new models these days i dont think nokia has a bright future ahead there phones and their design are sucks according to me nokia is a sinkink ship so dont travel on it nokia u will be finished in a year or so bye bye nokia go to hell

  • Very bad design. Keys are very small it seems are made not for human thumb rather for touching with pen tip. The only thing people like about nokia is battery timing.

  • The keypad seems to be made of plastic but it does not matter as the buttons are just far too small. I think i will wait for the nokia 2323 to be released as it has bigger buttons. Older nokia phones like the nokia 1112, nokia 1600 and nokia 3510i have excellent comfortable keypads ! Whoever designed this phone is a fool !

  • Keypad made of which material: Plastic or Rubber?

  • as a basic function-phone it's great. nice slim candybar design. battery life is outstanding. FM radio sounds good. good frequncy response. but keypad cliking sounds is disgusting. overall it's a great basic-phone at lowest price ever.

  • this is a vary nice phone in the range of 2k its vary light & nice display

  • For NAD..Thank you for your info.

  • Is it possible to change its body???? Means its cover

  • got this fone. it has the following bad sides 1. cheap plastic built 2. Leak of sound in back speaker 3. Its not beautiful 4. No message count 5. Torch is not bright as compared to 1200. 6. creaky sounds while typing in the keypad. I don't recomend this mobile

  • got this fone. it has the following bad sides 1. cheap plastic built 2. Leak of sound in back speaker 3. Its not beautiful 4. No message count 5. Torch is not bright as compared to 1200. I don't recomend this mobile.

  • how much it cost

  • This a very nice phone with a cost of less than 2K. FM and battery is also very good

  • The phone is extremely good and has an excellent battery life. Moreover the display is large and good. Usually phones at this price range have rather a very small display. Also can some one tell me whether the data capable for Nokia 2630 is compatible with Nokia 1661 in order to synchronize it with a PC as you know 1661 does not have a data cable of its own.

  • suoperb and stylish phone 1661 iam happy on used this phone

  • you know this phone is very-very beautiful because there are so many themes and colors,the fm radio is very clear and loud sound ring tones i buy it last April 23,2009.It's very-very handy phone and pretty...!!!!!!!:-)

  • Regarding Nokia-1650, I do have some reservations as the DRAWBACKS, FLAWS & TECHNICAL FAULTS of Nokia-1650. So here I request to all the end-users of Nokia-1661, are the following issues eliminated or still occur in this next version of Nokia-1650??? - Very bad & dreadful Keypad's buttons setting that interrupts to type a fluent text message. - Poor quality of FM Radio reception specially indoor's response is so deprived. - The sound of the Ringtones are very low, particularly the composed tones are extremely stumpy. - Absence of SMS storage meter, so the users can't detect & watch the numbers of stored messages inside the Inbox, Sent & Drafts items folder, either in Phone memory or a SIM memory. - Assigned numerical values for the Contents of Menu & sub menus are missing. For example if any end user does press 1 or 2 or 3 & 8 or 9 after pressing the menu key, could not browse the desire location directly. - Where the 8MB memory does exist in Nokia 1650 & how could we utilize this utility? - The format of BACK LIGHT TIMING is required in form of Time duration (I.e. Mm:ss) neither in the pattern of (Normal, Extended, Off) time periods. - We can fix only ten reminders in the dates of calendar & user can not view their assigned schedules with Date & Time individually as well. - User can fix the Time tracker only above than 30 seconds not less than 29 seconds. - The installation of torch & flashlight is also faulty because if we open the front cover of this cell-phone the Torch light is not exactly in the central position that is why consumer could not utilize the full advantage of this function so some adjustment in this regard is also required. Awaiting for the response, anxiously. Thanks in advance & best regards! Yours truly, M - HASSAN � +923212023611 � [email protected]

  • I think that its a good phone.

  • Have you guys never heard of places where people aren't allowed cameras and bluetooth? There's plenty of work sites which simply don't allow full media-enabled phones any more, sometimes for reasons to do with working with vulnerable people, children, etc. So an updated version of a 'talk and text only' phone will be very welcomed in those circles.

  • You guys do know that cellphones evolved a little bit since the 90s, do you? ;) This thing is barely worth 10 Euro!

  • Ugh, and you can't install games on this phone. Guess I'll be picky when this phone arrives as I want it to have Bounce and Beach Rally as games.

  • Hi Mr. Hassan. I'm from the Philippines and sadly, the Nokia 1661 isn't available on our country yet. I had the Nokia 1202 bought and I'll buy the Nokia 1661 once it's released. :)

  • Dear JOSH BHAI, Have you bought the Nokia-1661? If you have done so, kindly let us know about the pricing and differences among Nokia1661 & Nokia1650. Best regards, Yours truly, "M - HASSAN"

  • Any idea if you can install games on this unit?

  • I agree an add on memory card would be useful to increase the phonebook list

  • Manual book menu does not correct. Manual book please...

  • If someone has purchased this Cell (Nokia1661) then kindly let us know about his/her experience and suggest about the price & value. Thanks in advance!

  • how abt flashligt

  • It appears to be great fone for India...cost effective yet far advanced than Nokia 1200.

  • is this phone good?? coz i only need a basic & simple phone right now for everyday use..

  • Useful to all segments of peoples..its looking so cute...

  • It's designed for people in business who need nothing else than can take or make calls. It's cheap, not useless at all....!

  • not too good looking phone... u can buy it for your children as gifts maybe they'll like it

  • Nokia Just plays with physical construction. Same Software Like in Meany devices. Is also has the same software like N 1650. I don't know why nokia doesn't offer sd card slot. Moto W230 is better from this phone but its battery timing is not satisfactory if you have used nokia.

  • duh. their units, obviously.

  • I cannot watch the latest s.e.x scandal to this phone!

  • Another totally useless device...

  • A nice fone 2 hang on

  • i realy like nokia 1661 its very good quality and very useful phone o think so thanks nokia

  • this phone is trully good i like very much

  • I Like it. Thanks NOKIA Belal

  • Is it true that Nokia will apply a recently developed new type of battery in this phone that will expand stand-by time to almost a month? I read it somewhere...

  • i used nokia 1208,but i gt softwear problm n thn i slod it.nw use nokia 1200.it s gud.bt nw i hope 2 bye 1661.the flash lght option is very usefull.also if u cn make this kind of phone as watre resist it s wonderful.bocz i m workin as air craft technician.

  • i like it... thanks Nokia..

  • 1661 is a small improvement of 1650 - it will have TFT display instead of CSTN display of 1650. I hope the keypad will be better. 1650 has very rigid keypad and key descriptions could be panned by fingers very easily in a short time. And what about 3.5mmm earphone jack? SE J132 has it.

  • @M-HASSAN A nice descriptive review of Nokia 1650. I agree with you. These buggs or faults must be removed. I sold my Nokia 1650 due to these faults.

  • Whats the difference between this set and Nokia 1650?

  • SORRY! the URL is as under: URL = www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1266167

  • By the way, Mr/Ms CT, According to your last comments of POOR-FUNCTIONING for the Nokia-1661, kindly let us know: Have you tried this (Nokia-1661) cell-phone in your personal-use although M/s Nokia has not released in the Market this mobile yet now??? As according to their official announcement they are intend to launch the new Nokia�s budget-series in Next-year and you can check from the following URL as-well. URL = ThanX & best regards! Urs truly, HASSAN

  • a poor function

  • see the battery!

  • 65k is a 65.000 colors not a 65.000.000

  • I agree with the others that Nokia makes models with the same specs. The 1200, 1650 & now the 1661 is a good basic platform however they are all the same! An improvement if you ask me is on CONNECTIVITY-if they can only roll out a model (same segment) that is BLUETOOTH or USB connectible this would be great for the young highly customizing crowd.

  • okay wht's the use of a 65 million color screen then??????!!!!!!!!!!

  • M-HASSAN you are so RIGHT! The nokia 1650 is one of the worst nokia phones ever along with the 1200 and the 1208! All 3 phones are RUBBISH ! The ringtones are not loud enough and you miss calls outdoors and the keypads on them are too small. The 1100,1112,3310,3410 and 3510 Nokia`s had brilliant comfortable keypads and texting was very easy. Good big buttons for big fingers ! Alas, this phone is a disaster as the keypad is not big enough yet again ! This phone is more suited to baby fingers. Once again another poorly designed phone from nokia. You have to wonder who designed this phone as they are stupid ! Nokia needs to go back to the drawing board and hire a competent design team ! A definite DO NOT BUY, a definite NEVER BUY !

  • This is very pleasant to listen that M/S Nokia has announced their 7 new inexpensive cell phones but regarding one of them �Nokia-1661� here I want to check that if the following faults of Nokia-1650 still exist then again I will not recommend to buy Nokia-1661 (the next version of Nokia-1650). As far as the Keypad�s setting of Nokia-1661 is concerned I am feeling after watching few pictures of this particular Cell-phone from Internet that keypad-setting problem is not solved yet now!!! DRAWBACKS, FLAWS & TECHNICAL FAULTS of Nokia 1650. * Very bad & dreadful Keypad's buttons setting that interrupts to type a fluent text message. * Poor quality of FM Radio reception specially indoor's response is so deprived. * The sound of the Ringtones are very low, particularly the composed tones are extremely stumpy. * Absence of SMS storage meter, so the users can't detect & watch the numbers of stored messages inside the Inbox, Sent & Drafts items folder, either in Phone memory or a SIM memory. * Assigned numerical values for the Contents of Menu & sub menus are missing. For example if any end user does press 1 or 2 or 3 & 8 or 9 after pressing the menu key, could not browse the desire location directly. * Where the 8MB memory does exist in Nokia 1650 & how could we utilize this utility? * The back light timing is required in form of Time duration (I.e. mm:ss) neither in the pattern of (Normal, Extended, Off) time periods. * We can fix only ten reminders in the dates of calendar & user can not view their assigned schedules with Date & Time individually as well. * User can fix the Time tracker only above than 30 seconds not less than 29 seconds. * The installation of torch & flashlight is also faulty because if we open the front cover of this cell-phone the Torch light is not exactly in the central position that is why consumer could not utilize the full advantage of this function so some adjustment in this regard is also required. Thanks & best regards! Yours truly, M*H@$$@N [email protected]

  • Wow... what a comment, i think a 2mp camera is decent, i have a phone with 1.3mp and sucks, in the other things you are almost right, a lot of people today want all-in-one things like a N95 or a crappy Iphone... but everybody will have diferent opinions a lot of people only buy a phone for the mp of the camera, another people buy for the looks and some people buy cheap phones (like i do) for basic features and some entertaint extras....:) so people, buy what you want, if then is crappy...i'm sorry for you....:)

  • nothing happened to nokia. it just realised that people want to use their phones for talking. seriously, what is a n95 for example good for? you have 1000 functions which are all crappy. crappy gps, and why should you use a phone with a small display as a gps, when you can buy a 4.3" display one, which is cheap nowadays. crappy camera, why should you need a 5mp camera on a mobile phone. 1mp is enough, you use a phone's camera to take fast snapshots, not to take artistic pictures; for that you can buy a camera. crappy mp3 player, for music you can use an ipod which is by far better. and most of all, crappy case. cheap plastic with "chrome" keys which starts to clear after serious use. that's why i bought a 7900prism. not cheap, but i have a metallic case. not a cheap one. and if you are not interested, as i am, in the looks of the phone, then buy yourself a cheap and good one. for the rest of the functions there are 1000 gadgets that can do the job 1000times better than a phone.

  • what r u gonna do with this GPRS No HSCSD No EDGE No 3G No WLAN No Bluetooth No Infrared port No USB No duh? just for call and txt

  • 624 standy by time = 26 days thats the best part then everthing is boring

  • Phones for small business users who have no interst in anything but making phone calls....That will do me!

  • I think once again nokia comming with incompleted models.....

  • This is a phone for the developing countries how need cheap phone to cover all the demand and to give to a lot of people their first mobile phone, it�s great for a kid too but this is a very interesting move form Nokia to gain the low market because almost everyone starts with the first most simple phone to understand all the features and then if you want you buy a better phone with more features.. Very similar to 1202 and 1208, let`s give some points... Design: 5.5 (Simple and clean design, good size of the display, 1.8 inches is very nice for low range device, keypad doesn�t seems so nice... only how buys the phone will know if it�s confortable, the red buttons around the phone seem very tactile so that�s nice... just passable) Features: 4.5 (Exactly same specs of nokia 1202 but with a color display... enough to keep in touch and to enter to the moble world) Performance: 9 (Almost excelent, only philips with their Xenium phones can improve this battery life...well done Nokia, but still more to improve) Remember people...this is a phone for developing countries...and very cheap!:)

  • Why is Nokia adding too much handsets to their Portfolio with the same specs? Anyway, This phone are for Grannys! wahaha!

  • This is dirt cheap... good for a kid's first mobile.

  • 1st Again.. Wahaha. Attack of the Big Bulky fones. What's going on Nokia?
