There will always be a place for entry-level phones. Despite all the excitement over breakthrough advances in cell phone technology, there remains a significant chunk of the market pie where folks just want a simple phone.
Enter the Nokia 1661. It’s a simple candy bar with a modest 1.8 inch, 128 x 160 pixel resolution display (very low resolution), simple alpha-numeric keypad, speakerphone, predictive text, alarm clock and calculator. This sounds like the feature list from a few years ago, but here again, for people looking for an emergency phone or a phone on a budget, the Nokia 1661 offers a simple design and basic functionality. With the “send” and “end” keys placed in familiar places, and a central navigation array, this phone is clearly within the reach of anyone who needs to make a call.
Talk time is rated at up to 480 minutes and standby time is rated at up to 472 hours.
There are better options available today, and with promotions and special offers, folks can get into a stronger device that could do more for them.
The Nokia 1661 is basic at its very best. Not bad, just basic.

This phone stinks

Keys are too small.
Can't answer with any key.
Manual has very limited information.
Bare bones software not even any way to add any more information to contacts than phone numbers.
Clock is not visible until key is pressed.
Great back up phone for all TMo account types, ultra compact, light, good battery life. Buy it for a song and a dance!

Purchased April,2010 for less than $15 at a national U.S.A. pharmacy chain as a pre-paid TMO kit. Intended as gift for a relative. Without activating phone, I slipped in my T-mob sim from my standard T-mob account and phone booted up fine w/o ever activating the pre-paid sim. As others have mentioned,... More

Wow, I haven't seen a phone this pathetic in a while.. where do I start, first of all -- the signal (or lack thereof) this thing gets is HORRENDOUS. T-Mobile's PCS network already has issues in deep residential areas, and this phone is of NO help. It will often show "No Network Coverage"... More
