The Samsung X660 updates the X640 with some improved features. The X660 is an attractive clamshell with dual screens: the main display being of average quality and the outer display being relatively poor, not even colour. The camera is VGA resolution (0.3 megapixels) with a video option and is at best average. The phone supports MP3 ringtones, although there is no music player, and with only 8 Mbytes of memory there isn't really enough memory to store much anyway. Battery life is average and connectivity is via USB and infra-red with no Bluetooth option. It's a good enough but unremarkable camera phone.

I never thought Samsung phones have an excellent colour screen quality until I bought the X-660 a few days ago. Bought this one to try something else after I got sick using the same brands over the years...I never regretted to have the Samsung SGH-X660. It's worth the money! http://asia.cnet.com/ |
