Nokia E66 - user opinions and reviews

I am about to spend a lot of money buying the E66. The most important thing for my business is being able to reliably receive incomming calls. Can 3G be turned off when not needed, as this usually helps improve call reliability (on Orange UK this works). Some comments from E66 users on reception compaired to what they had before would be most helpfull

yay finally got the phone. Got it for really cheap, around Malaysian ringgit 1,550. im really excited bout this phone considering my last phone was a nokia 6680 which i had used for 2 years.
4 things i wish nokia couldve done better on e66.
1) the battery life. after some time of messing around with the wifi and gps, the battery had already gone down by 2 bars. I hope nokia addresses this problem so tht they can issue a new extended battery or somethin.
2)the sound is not loud enough. the default alarm tone barely woke me up when compared to my 6680, which never fail to wake me up. i think even the alarm on my e51(used it briefly before i lost it :( ) was louder than e66, since thay hv the same default alarm tone.
3) signal strength is weaker than my 6680.
4) the camera. for a 3.2mp cam, it really sucks. worse in dark places despite the LED flash. but then again, i told myself, "i dont need a good cameraphone," when i bought this phone.
overall though the sleek, slim design, the auto rotation, and wifi overcomes the drawbacks and probably the only things tht are keeping me from sending it back to the shop :)
hope this comment helps

you may have a defective unit, you cant blame it on symbian that your phone has a po... moreA faulty unit was my first thoght too but... If you keep an E66 or an E71 in your palm just like talking you'll be surprized to see the signal droping adn even desapearing. I made this test at the dealers shop (in the midle of my home town, at 2 m from the all glass doors !). One possible cause: the GSM antenna might be placed at the bottom of the unit under the metal cover.
And about Symbian: it simply does not fit my needs of quick operation of a mobile phone! Id rather like the S40.
Thanks for the N82 signal detail!

After 24 hours with Nokia E66 I returned to the dealer. The main reason: poor call qulity and loss of signal in a building that carries a GSM antenna of my carrier on the roof! (The shadow cone explanation does not work, my old 6233 works flawless in the verry same room!) Second thoughts: sound quality is inferior to 6233, (not as clear and not as loud), and ( IMHO) Symbian is a form of modern torture compared to windows mobile ! Any ideas about Nokia N82 signal and reception?

Karim, 24 Jul 2008I'm confused between E71 and E66. what are the major deferences other than the keyboard. The major difference between E66 and E71 is battery life. E 71 has seriously strong 1500 mah battery compare to E66

Really designed to impress specially the additonal features of flip phone face down to silence incoming calls and also the turn phone horizontally for landscape view.. terrific!

In what way is this phone an improvment to E51?
It doesn't support 850/2100 3G bands at the same time which enables you to get 3G in all continents and doesn't support blackberry connect either.
So it's just GPS which is kind of unneccessary with Google maps not to mention the added weight.
Disappointing!!!!
