Nokia 2660 Flip Review: The Simpler Phone Life

#Nokia #Nokia2660Flip #FeaturePhone #HMDGlobal

The Nokia 2660 Flip is a highly affordable -- $129 AUD -- feature phone that draws from classic Nokia design ideas without the clutter of a modern smartphone... but does that mean it's a good phone to buy? I took an indepth look at HMD Global's latest "throwback" Nokia phone.

This has been my daily driver for about 6 months. Some tips - disable predictive text as it’s rubbish, turn off the keypad tones, if you use it as an mp3 player like I do, then access your music through the file manager, not the music player (it’s also good to save playlists or albums as folders on your microsd card), Tetris is actually a pretty nice addition to this device and doesn’t require a purchase, unlike the dual sim which seems useless.

Bought one for a family member who only wants calls and texts. That's the market they are after.

the camera should be at least 2mpx that makes photography a bit useful

It looks like a tough, well built phone. I was surprised when you said that you get the feeling that if you dropped it it’d shatter 😢

Flip phones these days are too big. I used to have a palm sized Samsung and it was the best phone I ever owned. You could place it in your palm, close your fingers around it and it'd disappear. That's what I want, not some big clunky brick.

Flip phones are for people like me, who think smart phones are too big to be phones and too small for everything else.

That's why I have a flip phone to call and text, and an 8" tablet for everything else.

I just wish they'd make these new flip phones small, like they did in the glory days before smart phones.

The reason why such phones still exist is those that don't like smart phones because they consider them to be a waste of time and money because they eat both and some smart phone uses have one as a secondary phone for when they just want a phone and nothing else because they are taking a break from their smart phone which are addictive

You having a Go at the games is so funny to me because I got my first phone in 2022 and it was a Nokia brick phone and it had that racing game and I LOVED it. I was 12 and I spent hours playing it. The longer you play the faster you get. It’s so funny that you’re dogging on them when they were my only source of amusement for a year or two lol.

It's a great phone for Talk & Text, it' can run 2 sim cards, & SD card to play media files, PHOTOS, MUSIC, VIDEO etc, long battery life too!!!

[allenqueen]

Can I throw in some podcasts and videos on the memory card and just listen to them with the screen off? Thinking of getting one just for audio + calls

[tillydevine]

Hey mate, could you let me know if you can use custom ringtones for your contacts? This is my deciding factor in buying this phone

[bobmarshall]

This guy just waffled aimlessly without talking in depth about basic functions and how to use.

[andreaholland]

Even a very basic camera could be useful for emergencies; if my car gets bumped/shunted I'd want to be able to have some kind of photo of the damage/cars involved...Or I sometimes use my phone camera just to have a record of something I want to remember and look up later.

Good review, convinced me it’s not really worth the extra $35-50 over the Nokia 110 4G (especially to have as a backup/spare device). Thanks

Does this phone answer calls when flipped open, and can the button lock be removed? The less button interactions the better. When buying for an elderly person, other than battery life, these are the only things that really matter.

Im 13 yrs old i got a nokia 105 for my first phone small but lovely my friends ask why idont get a samsung smart phone 📱 📲 but i said no cause i prefer nokia 105 and nokia 2660 flip im planning to get this christmas

[emmawalkerlxxxviii]

Can some apps be deleted such as Facebook?

[leslievernon]

It's great for elderly folks too that don't care about smart features

[tangerinestar-]

Hi. Can this phone accept calls by opening the flip alone? And can phone numbers be programmed/assigned to specific number keys? Thanks!
