Sony Ericsson K660 preview: First look - read the full textAnnounced in November and yet to be released, the Sony Ericsson K660 is a polished 3G bar, which sneaks some high-end goodies into the midrange. Besides HSDPA and enhanced web browsing, the undoubted focal point, K660 offers a balanced...

Despite some new improvements from older SE models, this new generation 3.5g phone lacks the software responsiveness promised by the features, especially in contacts/address book management. Slow contact search (need to wait a good couple of seconds in smart search), not able to customize number's field name (ala nokia) is a bummer. All in all it's a good phone from a designer's point of view, but developer needs to polish from the software side.

The design is similar to Nokia 6210 classic! I will choose 6120 over K660 for Symbian:)

To Andy.

I almost can't be bothered to reply to your post about the camera. It gets so annoying, all these people saying things on here when they obviously know nothing about what they're saying. I'm not even trying to defend SE or anything.

Sure SE was known for being something a bit special in the camera department a few years back, and I can agree that they've lost it. One look at proper camera phones like the K850i or K770i will prove this. They can hardly stand up to their rivals.

But The K660i is not a proper camera phone. You would not buy this phone if you wanted a good quality camera. You would go for one with autofocus. And SE is not aiming it at camera phone buyers. This phone is aimed at people who want a better mobile internet experience, hence the HSDPA and internet shortcut keys, etc.

You can hardly say or imply SE is behind other manufacturers because they release a non-AF 2MP camera (though they are behind in other aspects). Any brand, like Nokia and the like will release non-AF cameras on phones all the time. They are not always aiming at the high-end market. K660i is a mid-end phone and the camera is just there for snapshots if it is needed.

Sony Ericsson started the super camera on mobiles with the K750i an it was superb with auto-focus on its camera but now days the company seem to be letting it customers down by removing even the Flash an Auto -focus with it cameras an Nokia an Samsung are getting better camera mobiles now days,please get these functions back with your cameras Sony Ericsson or more people will be other mobiles instead of yours
