I bought the Nokia 1661 cell phone for the T-Mobile prepaid service on sale at Target for $14.99.
The Nokia 1661 has basic features like a calendar, clock, alarm, reminder, calculator, call log, themes, speakerphone, and 3 free games. Two less common features include an FM radio and a flashlight. It comes with a hands free headset and microphone. The headset is required for the FM radio to work because it uses it as an antenna.
It does not have bluetooth, web browser, GPRS, GPS, camera, or mp3.
Overall I like this phone and would recommend it as a basic phone. The keys on the keyboard are a little small but work fine for me since I don’t text much. I found the sound level to be fine. I like the small and thin size of the phone. The screen is bright. The controls are easy to use. The battery life is good, rated at 4.2 hours talk and 20 days standby.
I thought my battery life was kind of short because I was recharging every couple of days but I thought it might be because I was using the phone. However, after I tested I found the battery life of my phone was only about 4 days on standby. It is suppose to get 20 days so 4 days is definitely not normal. Therefore, I took my phone back to Target and exchanged it for a new one.
I tested the new cell phone and get around 12 days on standby. This is still shorter than the 20 days it is suppose to get but I assume it is normal so I will keep this one.
