Nokia 1661 Review

Overall Review

Nokia 1661 is like old wine in new bottle, or in simple words, it represents the first generation mobiles that were introduced at a time when pagers had revolutionized the communication technique. Coming toward Nokia 1661, it is a light weighted phone with 1.8 inches screen display with 65k color display operating at frequency of GSM 900/1800 and GSM 850/1900. Although it represents the first generation mobile but the distinguishing feature about Nokia 1661 is that it is embedded with inbuilt FM radio and that also with specific dedicated for operating it. Besides this technical feature it also carries the common feature of short message service (SMS) and can store 250 messages in inbox. Apart from this other common features integrated in Nokia 1661 include flashlight, predictive text input and organizer. Shifting towards the most worth mentioning feature about Nokia 1661 which is also considered as the pulse of every mobile is its battery performance. Nokia 1661 is embedded with battery of 860 mAh with talk time of 4 hours and 10 minutes and stand by time of 475 hours. Music in Nokia 1661 can be listened with help of 2.5 mm audio jack.  Nokia 1661also adorns inbuilt memory of 8 MB thus enabling to maintain his contact number properly in his phone book. With this Nokia 1661 also adorns wide array of various inbuilt interesting games.

User Interface and UI functionality

For the first time users of mobiles, Nokia 1661 is a perfect piece of gaining experience for handling mobile in beginning, for instance, receiving calls, dialing number, disconnecting the unwanted calls, sending and receiving of short messages. The inbuilt FM radio keeps the user well entertained as well. With this Nokia 1661 also adorns inbuilt interesting games for entertainment purposes.  With this, Nokia 1661 also provides the facility of using short messaging service to the user through which instead of making expensive calls he can contact his dear ones through short message service. With messaging feature user can also forward interesting messages to his friends and relatives. The feature of messaging service is quite famous between the youth users who have wide friend circle and to contact with every one through phone is always not possible for such users messaging feature is a boon. Another impressive UI feature of Nokia 1661 is installation of in built torch that enables the users to work properly at time of electric failure. Thus concluding about UI performance of Nokia 1661 it can be said that it is an excellent illustration of getting acquainted with mobile use.

Multimedia features

As Nokia 1661 is the targeted phone for some specific segment of customers who just want to use mobile phone for talking and are not interested in using the other technical features embedded in the latest mobiles, the other segment is the one who do not prefer buying expensive phones, therefore, it does not adorn the huge multimedia features. However, it would be also wrong to say that it totally lags in multimedia feature, Nokia 1661 adorns inbuilt FM radio for music freaks who prefer to listen music while working and traveling. Music can be listened with help of 2.5 audio jack.

Pictures and Video quality

Because Nokia 1661 is just a first generation mobile without many of those upgraded features, which does not even adorns camera, something that is now-a-days mostly found in every next mobile being launched even when it carries some limited features. However, it carries some uploaded pictures for different themes and wallpapers that a user can assign on his mobile handset. As far as video quality is concerned without camera feature video recording is also not possible.

 

Internet support

Unfortunately as Nokia 1661 is a simple with no much hi-tech feature it also lags the internet supporting application. Therefore for the users who are internet freaky and stay online throughout the day this phone is not going to attract them. Moreover Nokia 1661 even does not support GPRS net connectivity which enables the user to get connected mobile operating company’s net facility for downloading contents provided by company.

Internal and External Memory

Nokia 1661 is designed with inbuilt memory of 8 MB that enables the user to store telephone numbers of his important contact in a systematic way. With this inbuilt memory also stores space for various inbuilt applications for instance messages and games besides the telephone directory. The inbuilt memory can store upto 250 messages in inbox and in stored messages slot. As Nokia 1661 is just an ordinary phone, it does not carry external memory slot and therefore is unable to other data, for instance, songs, photos, videos, etc.

Applications and Gaming

Nokia 1661 does not carry a wide range of various applications except messaging and games. It is embedded with few various interesting games. These games are liked equally by both children and adults without any age difference.

Battery Backup

Nokia 1661 is embedded with battery of 860 mAh that supports a talk time of 4 hours and 10 minutes with standby time of 475 hours. Thus, for the users who use mobile phone for important talks, this phone is going to be a boon as it makes them free from the tension of regular charging at fix intervals.

Connectivity Offered

The major drawback of Nokia 1661 is that it does not support connectivity either with internet, GPRS connection, or other slots of connectivity namely EDGE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, infrared, or USB cord. Hence, it does not support data transfer with any of these options.

Compare

With a wide variety of various smartphones available in market and various upgraded mobiles being launched daily in market that are preferred by a huge segment of customers, there is a certain segment of customers who prefer mobile phone for talking only or are unable to buy high-priced mobiles. Meeting the needs of this segment mobile companies are now concentrating on introducing some first generation mobiles that meet the basic need of mobile users. Besides Nokia, there are various other companies who are involved in this initiative. Where Nokia has Nokia 1661, on the other side, Samsung mobiles has Samsung E1160 with somewhat similar features. Where Nokia 1661 has 1.8 inches screen display with 65k color display. Samsung also has E1160 with a 1.52-inch screen with color display 65k similar to Nokia 1661. Unlike Nokia 1661, Samsung E1160 can also store all calls including received calls, missed calls, and dialed numbers, limited to 20 numbers in its memory. In this way, both these phones are supplement to each other in terms of features offered. It is upto the customers that how much trust they put in any particular brand.
