The Nokia E66 is a cool and trendy slide design mobile phone that comes in a choice of two colour casings of grey steel and an elusive white steel casing, both of which are very stylish. The E66 has been built and designed with personal and business users in mind.

I liked: - Size - Resolution of Display - Features - Qualiade signal - System multi-tasking - Construction - GPS I did not like: - 3 weeks with the hood is deformed - The battery is very low - The menus are confusing and outdated - The keyboard is terrible for typing text (recommend the E71) - Live...

The Nokia E66 mobile phone is part of the business line phone from the Nokia 's E-Series. If you are not keen on using an E71 with a qwerty keyboard, the E66 offers the same functionality with the number keyboards most of us are used to.

A feature filled cheap mid-range smartphone which can do most tasks you ask of it

Very fast; metal casing; free in-built GPS navigation software

The battery life

It's not often that Nokia releases a new range of business phones, and when it does you'd better sit up and take notice. The last time round, it was the E61 that had us in raptures, with its Blackberry-beating keyboard and good range of software and features.

It's raining Nokia S60 smartphones here lately, and we were lucky enough to receive the US version of the recently announced but not yet released Nokia E66 for review. The US version is a quad band unlocked GSM phone with US 3G HSDPA on the 850/1900MHz bands.

Has complete support for US bands, including 3G; The NAM model has a US warranty; Extremely attractive design and quite thin; WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3G, FM radio, MP3 player and a 3 megapixel camera-- the phone has all; Nice use of the accelerometer for screen rotation and silencing the phone

Reception is just average (usually Nokia phones have very, very strong reception); Camera images aren't very good

Like the E71, Nokia's E66 feels well made, but there are significant differences between the two handsets. The E66 doesn't have the same QWERTY keyboard that sits under the E71's screen, preferring to use a sliding numeric keypad instead.

A few minor (and we mean minor) niggles aside, this is a sharp and classy slider that brilliantly embraces the business and everyday world with aplomb.

Its excellent.
