My Spanking New Toy - the Sony Ericsson w660i

Published by simon on April 13, 2008

Simon has a spanking new toy to play with - i just bought the Sony Ericsson w660i.

I was mulling over a few options, and finally whittled the choices down to the Nokia 5310 and the super-slim Sony Ericsson w880i. A friend of mine bought the Nokia 5310 (red one) and i was very impressed with cool look and free carrying pouch. But I wanted a 3G phone, and the 5310 didn’t have this feature.

The Sony Ericsson w880i had all the functions i wanted, but it was a little pricy (about RM760) and the buttons were very small (is it meant for ladies?!), so finally lowered my expectations and got the w660i.

So, after nine years of using Nokia phones, what made me change to Sony Ericsson? Actually my very, very first phone was an Ericsson, but every one since then was Nokia. I was surprised by their speaker and camera quality. And probably the biggest deciding factor is that Nokia phones are slightly more expensive compared the similar features in other brands.

Of course, getting used to their interface and the ‘back’ button takes some getting used to.

I got the black version. The ‘Lamboghini’ red one is slightly cheaper, probably due to lower demand!

Anyone has any recommendations for a good website to download cool ringtones and games? :)

    Good to know you finally took the plunge after agonizing over the models. Looks sleek and it’s supposed to have a bitchin’ sound quality.

    The good attached cam means that you’ll be ready for any candid shots anytime. Will be expecting so see more everyday shot on your blogs from now.
