Pros: Least expensive Bluetooth equipped phone. Speakerphone great. Camera good enough for email.
Cons: Small, too close together buttons on keypad. Slippery plastic finish, hold on tight.
The Bottom Line: This phone is almost a PDA, a lot it can do I'm not aware of yet. Good as phone, camera-reporter, speakerphone, Bluetooth. A lot more than just a mobile phone.

| theblindman's Full Review: Nokia 3660 |
I was after Bluetooth and found this to be the least expensive Bluetooth equipped phone my carrier had to offer. I paid $74.99 with another $50 credit to my account after 6 more months of service on a 1 year contract renewal. I've been with T-Mobile since they acquired my account with Voicestream, probably 8 years now. About every 2-3 years, I ask for new equipment and this is the 1st time I've been willing to PAY ANYTHING for equipment, but Bluetooth is so practical and safety is increased, so it's certainly worth it.
The thing I started getting annoyed with almost immediately is the button size. I kept mis-dialing and felt like Homer Simpson when his fingers got too fat in the episode where he gains weight to get disability pay. This is not a phone that is itti bitty so you'd expect it to have some room for larger, more spaced buttons. I'd almost prefer the goofy counter-clockwise circle of the Nokia 3650, because at least there, the buttons are spaced apart better. But once I got the Bluetooth headset (Motorola HS810 - $40 + $9 shipping off Ebay) I decided this phone is gonna be alright after all. For one, I rarely have to dial or even handle the phone much anyway since I can voice tag all my contacts. The wireless Bluetooth headset works flawlessly with voice dialing. The only improvement here would be if it could recognize individual digits spoken, then dial the number you just said, then you'd never have to touch the phone at all!
I have found the speakerphone crystal clear & FANTASTIC for getting customers involved in communicating with my providers while I'm face to face with the customer. Plus they don't have to put their face on my phone getting us both all germy.
The camera works well enough for email and pic messaging problems and challenges hit on the job to providers.
There's probably alot more this phone can do that I haven't had time to figure out yet. It's good. And it's not so big and clunky as I thought it would be.
