Sony Ericsson W660i

This looks like a great phone.

It's quite slim and light, has 3G, a music player, FM radio with RDS, web browser, push e-mail and a 2MP camera.

It's also a candybar design (which I like - don't really like sliders).

What do other people think about this phone?

We've hardly sold any. Seems the buying public have been quite underwhelmed.

Could this mean that it's a bad phone or that people just haven't noticed its arrival?

I can't find many reviews on it yet.

Well when people come in store, they browse and look at the phones. The unit you mention is in the same bay as the N95, G600, U600, Prada, Shine, W910i, TyTN, K810i, K850i et al. So, from a merchandising perspective it's being given visibilty - but people don't choose it.

Maybe people don't like the look of it (Walkman buttons on the front) or it hasn't been advertised enough.

I must admit, I didn't know the W660i existed until I looked at the 3 web site.

I've got one, and I love it. I am certain their are better phones out there but it ticked all the right boxes for me.

It's kind of a jack of all trades in that there is no feature that really makes it stand out but it does them all well, and it also looks nice without being flash. I got this one because I couldn't wait for the W960i so I thought this would be a good cheap short term phone.

If you're looking for a reasonably priced 3G phone, then I would thoroughly recommend it.

Has the market become flooded? There seems to be an awful lot of 2mp sony-ericcssons around which are very similar other than aesthetics.
