User reviews

  sucks the battery as a pet, 2008-10-30
I liked:
- Size
- Resolution of Display
- Features
- Qualiade signal
- System multi-tasking
- Construction
- GPS

I did not like:
- 3 weeks with the hood is deformed
- The battery is very low
- The menus are confusing and outdated
- The keyboard is terrible for typing text (recommend the E71)
- Live voice with low volume
- Poor sound quality in speaker
- The international version does not have many options for language, including Portuguese
- The image of the camera is designed for blue violet, and low quality (I was very disappointed)

  Spectacular Phone, 2008-10-08
A smartphone that is not huge like the iPhone and Blackberries, e.g. it has Wi-Fi, GPS, Maps, Browser, RealPlayer, E-Mail, Office, Camera/Video, etc. but it's about the size of a RAZR (slightly taller but thinner). Same features as E71 but smaller. Solid construction, quality feel.

I have not experienced either problem referenced by the other reviewer. Battery life is excellent, and the unlocking issue is not present. Perhaps confirm that you're getting the extended battery.

  Impressing but faulty, 2008-08-31
I just got this phone last week, and it has some nice features. The one I liked mostly is that you can put specific phone numbers on a black list and have the phone send a busy signal when they call you. One other thing is the calendar and to do list. Very practical. Also you can have an alarm set to wake you up only on weekdays. Cool!!
Also, what I liked about this phone is that it's a sturdy phone, it feels good in your hand. It's beautiful, but it will get smedged easily with fingerprints. However, battery life is really bad, not what I'm used of with Nokia. Also, the slide mechanism has a major problem. When you slide open the phone, it just doesn't react by unlocking the phone. You have to unlock it manually. It seems this is some kind of magnetic failure of the phone. More users have reported this same problem. You can see these on the Nokia Discussions website. I took the phone back to the store and exchanged it for the N95. But still I like the E66 best because it has some features the N95 does not have. E.g. when in sleep mode you press the selection key you see the time. And the phone is so slim it slips comfortably in your jeans pocket. Try that with the bulky N95...
I hope Nokia fixes this slide problem.

    I hope I didn't mislead you with that title. This is not the mythical "G2," as in T-Mobile's G1 successor. This is, however, the "G2" as in the second Google Android phone to hit the market. Kogan's Agora and Agora Pro run Android and are set to ship at the end of this month. Here's some rather poor footage of what looks to be a rather awesome phone in action.

    iPhone as heart/cardio monitor

    I should exercise. No, really — I need to back off from the keyboard, take the Twinkie out of my mouth and go for a run or something. I should, but I don’t. Working out has never given me big results, so I simply stopped. That I’m not 200 lbs by now is a factor of genetics (thanks, Mom and Dad!) and decent nutrition (minus the occasional junk food jones). Still, walking to the grocery store and getting lapped by the senior citizens in my hood is...

    Feeling let down about the keynote address at MacWorld? Yeah, me too. Phil Schiller did a decent job, but he’s not the showman that Steve Jobs is. And the biggest phone-related news had to do with DRM-free tunes and 3G music downloads. (While a step in the right direction, it’s certainly not game-changing — after all, Amazon has had DRM-less tunes for ages). Through all this, however, it may be easy to overlook that there were a couple of kinda...
