Samsung VI660 (A660) User Reviews

I payed US$170.00 for this phone under a Sprint contract.

The looks of the phone arent very attractive while the size is really small which is an upside.

The keys resemble newer Honda Civic headlights and are pretty nice.

The software isnt all that great. Pretty boring. It has several modes like a Camera mode which shows the shutter of a camera or a tropical mode. I found the camera mode to be the best. This phone didnt come with anything new. Pretty much thats it.


Pros:
- Color. Although pixels are pretty big.
- Size. Pretty small
- Battery Life. Lasts whole day and I use the phone all day

Cons:
- No Speakerphone
- Pixels are too big
- Samsung placard in front is ugly and attracts to much attention.
- Software isnt all that fun.



I give this phone a 6 on a 1-10 Scale with 10 being the best.

This phone isn't bad. Not as good as camera phones, but for a decent phone with no camera, it's pretty close to low range camera phone (which is a VERY good decent phone with no camera). The phone DOES NOT feature any external screen, yet it has a bright internal screen that gives you clear, crispy images (due to the fact that it does have 65,000 colors). This phone is also small and mobile, and really tough. Though the outsides get scrathed easily, it can withstand and resist MANY, MANY drops.

Despite the fact that this isn't a camera phone (like I said before) it is quite a good phone. Phone features text messaging, GPS (in which some RAZR models don't have), Games, Polygraphic Ringtones, Web Browsing, Voice Recognition, Voice Memo, Calendar, To-Do-List, Alarm Clock (Some phones don't have this feature, that includes some Camera Phone/s). Battery life is EXCELLENT, its battery life amazes me more than my Muziq's battery life. For those who don't care about camera functions and only need a phone that has good reception, long battery life, games, text and is cheap (I think it is about 29.99 after rebate), this is your Phone.

IT IS NOT A BAD PHONE.
