Sony Ericsson K660

Introduction:
By introducing the K660, Sony Ericsson “revealed” their new phone class – internet dedicated. After the camera dedicated Cyber-shot and the music oriented Walkman series, the K660 comes as the first mobile device of the company destined for active browsing, without the many complications of the average smartphone.



Design:
The first thing noticeable is the extremely clear design of the phone and its small dimensions – 104x47x14.7 mm and 95g. The second thing that we noticed was the striking resemblance the device has with the Nokia 6120 classic(size wise and because of the silvery lane on the front and back panels). Despite the obvious similarity the K660 has with the 6120, it still has the typical Sony Ericsson appearance. The company revealed its concept for stylish design in the last year – clear shapes in combination with original colors and materials. In this relation K660 looks like the top model K850. The transparent surface seen in the camera phone, present here also adds a very beautiful mirror-like effect. As a whole the model represents the modern vision of a mid-class unisex phone.

Interface:
As we mentioned above, K660 utilizes the latest SE user interface and we can even see resemblance to some higher-end phones. The media menu, granting access to the Photo, Music and Video shortcuts and the choice of landscape/portrait mode, is an example of that. In contrast to the previous models an auto rotation sensor is missing here. Even though it is branded as a Walkman, the phone disposes of a pretty complex music player (the same seen in the K850), TrackID and FM radio.




The phone performs well the function it is intended for. It loads the pages correctly without misplacing or deforming their content. Texts and images are viewed perfectly, in spite of the standard resolution, and the zoom out function makes navigating in sizeable sites, extremely easy. Overall, the browser of the phone is very good.
