Nokia 2660 Flip Feature Phone with 2.8" display, 4G Connectivity, built-in camera, MP3 player, Classic games, a battery that lasts for days, Perfect for digital detox, Dual SIM - Lush Green

Needed a simple 4G mobile for a friend. Looked at a few, but either not 4G or to complicated, did not require all the apps. Came across this Nokia model tried it out myself very impressed. Clam shaped phone so screen is protected when not used. As Clam shaped small and easy to store. Easy to read screen, big buttons, just open it up to answer the call. Easy to hold operate. To charge has the Miro-UBS socket, minus point, should be the universal C socket. As an extra from Nokia a mains charger is availble, to store the phone in. Like a landline phone so it charges at the same time. Battery comes separate from the phone in the box to fit in the phone. Easy to do. Battery lasts a long time. You can buy extra ones from Nokia for about £16.00. Some one complained the camera was no good. For the price and market it's for your not going to have a quality camera. Another review mentioned the rocker switch on the camera case too easy to press by mistake. I agree. Sort that out and a C socket for charging and you have a good cheap mobile.

Don’t buy it. From the uk and it came with an EU charger. The browser didn’t work at all and the keyboard had Arabic language on it. Not sure if this is because it’s not official or from a different region.

I bought 2 of these for my twin daughters who went to secondary school for the first time. We were committed to not giving them smartphones just yet. These phones are ideal for keeping in contact with them but be aware of their limitations. They are unlocked and accept multiple SIMs. The battery lasts for days. We bought SIMs with no data and plenty of free calls and texts. We also bought roaming so that they can stay in contact during holidays in Europe. The camera is pretty rubbish and they internal memory is terrible. You need to add an SD card to prevent the phone from running out of memory. Is this a great phone? No it's not. it is perfect for what we wanted? Yes it is. Oh, and it has an updated version of the old Nokia snake game ;-) Last point, if you are really interested in your younger kids being Smartphone Free then speak to you local group or get in touch via the school. You can always search the web for smartphonefreechildhood to see what's happening with local authorities and government regulations on social media.

At first when making a call the network strength bars icon would change to "3G" or "E". However now it stays on 4G. It could be that voLTE took a few days to activate or that voLTE is not available. Whatever, the voLTE icon does not appear so it's anyones guess. Same on Lebara, Vodafone, EE and O2. Whether this is a fault of the phone or a fault of mobile networks is not clear. The volume rocker and SOS button are easily pressed by mistake and would be better on the inside of the phone as is the on/off/end call button. Otherwise the phone works easily and well. It is useful for digital detox but if I take the plunge and divorce my smart phones for good I doubt if I will stick with this phone. The test of all tests is to install a Three sim which I have done. It's a good test because Three insists on 4G calling (voLTE) for all calls. The result is that the phone works perfectly for both outgoing and incoming calls and outgoing and incoming SMS. As a result of this test I have upgraded my rating to 5 stars.

None of the modern dumb phones I have tried have lived up to the easy to hear, easy to use, easy to see Nokias of 20 years ago but this one is certainly better than average. It is comfortable to hold, has reasonable sized keys, decent sound and the screen is easier to see than many of it's rivals. This phone is very similar to the newer HMD 2660. However in most respects it is just as good as the newer phone and indeed is slightly lighter (125g v 143g). I like the phone but the reason why I only give it 3* is that O2 have not enabled it for 4G on their PAYG network. It is a 4G capable phone but each network has to enable 4G calling. No problem with Three, Vodafone or EE but if you use O2 PAYG then expect the call to drop to 2G. I imagine this is an error rather than intentional since O2 sell the phone in their shops. Regrettably the same shortcoming also applies to the newer HMD2660 Flip. HMD/Nokia are aware of the issue - they say this model of phone has not been correctly 'provisioned' by O2 but seemingly there is nothing they can do about it other than encourage me to persevere with my complaint. O2 have been notified but do not seem to care. (Tested with three phones, multiple SIMs and at several locations).

Very easy to set up and input address book. Totally straight forward .Good size buttons, not the best camera. Works fine with 4G sim so we now have an emergency phone. Lightweight. Only wish is that it came with the gadget to open back as it was rather difficult to open.

T9 predictive text cannot be enabled, making the phone useless for sending text messages. The item is not fit for purpose. Do not purchase if you wish to use it for text messages. The option is present, but selecting it doesn't change the option and it remains as "off". I sought advice from many sources, including Nokia. The seller has not yet responded to requests for help.

Nice flip phone, and a good alternative to smart phones if one has had one's fill of the latter. I am only interested in pressing buttons and making a conventional phone call, and for that it's perfect. The buttons are large and responsive and it's possible to silence the otherwise annoying 'beep' sound whenever a given button is pressed. The battery life is quite good, the cost not too high and the weight, light - though not so slim and easy to slip into one's pocket as some of the earlier 2G flip (clam-shell) phones of old. But at the same time, not overly large. The screen is quite big and easy to see, and it's possible to use either small or large size text if texting is desired.
