Nokia 2660 Flip: Announced May 31, 2007 by ark Nokia today introduced the Nokia 2660, a mobile phone with a classic fold design that meets the needs of emerging market consumers and ensures uninterrupted access to information and entertainment.
The Nokia 2660 Flip is a retro-inspired entry from HMD Global that brings about as close to a classic flip phone as you can get, with one or two little modern touches.
As for those of you who just want simplicity and don’t like smartphones—it’s for seniors, minimalists, and basically anyone who wants a feature phone.
With a resilient construction, spacious buttons, easy-to-read screen, and important features such as 4G VoLTE and wire-free FM,
the Nokia 2660 Flip restores the nostalgia of the retro mobile usage, coupled with greater reliability and ease.
Design and construction: old and practical meet again
In line with its heritage, the Nokia 2660 Flip comes with a small, iconic folding design.
The upper half contains a 2.8-inch main QVGA display, and the exterior has a tiny 1.77-inch screen for checking the time, battery and caller ID without opening the phone.
The body is plastic, but it feels durable, and the textured grip keeps it from sliding out of your palm.
The big button design makes the keys are easy to see and follow, the ideal choice for those who have difficulties to see.
It’s light and fits in your pocket, yet strong enough to withstand daily use without feeling flimsy.
UI and Features: Keep it simple and decent
The Nokia 2660 uses Nokia’s Series 30+ and is a very clean and simple user interface.
The icons are large, the menus are straightforward and there’s not much to get distracted by — just right for someone who only wants to call,
text and access a handful of apps (like FM radio and the calculator application).
One great feature also is the support for 4G VoLTE networks, which means crisp voice calls.
The phone is equipped with dual the SIM Card capability and is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity capable,
A 3.5mm headphone jack, a micro-USB charging and a microSD card slot (up to 32GB).
The side SOS emergency button is a nice touch, giving users the ability to dial up to five emergency contacts at a moment’s notice.
The on-the-go accessible FM radio, MP3 player and VGA Camera are the key features that allow this phone appeal the most without getting further to the user side.
Battery Life and Quality: Lasts and Lasts
With a 1450mAh removable battery, the Flip 2660 provides up to several days of battery life on a single charge,
—a huge advantage over modern smartphones. Be it only calls or a few texts, FM radio, you can use close to 3–5 days with such small usage.
