Battery case creaks a bit at times.

Samsung SGH-X660: I'm an avid user of Nokia and Motorola phones. After getting bored of using the same brands over the years, I decided to try something else and one day I just found myself in front of authorized Samsung phone dealer store.

What really caught my interest for this phone is the screen quality. I've never experience like this one in my previously owned phones. Even under the glare of the sun, I still can read what's on the screen. At night time especially in the car, I find the keypad lights evenly distributed to each key. Does not hurt my eyes even in the dark so my full attention is just on the screen. A superb consideration from the manufacturer.
Key press is very responsive even using the T9 method thus composing text messages is a breeze. Those who got bigger fingers will, I guess, never make mistakes punching the keys.
SMS/EMS and MMS have lots of features and options to choose from to make your messages more lively and dynamic.

Battery life is good, would last 2-3 days if you're just an average user. Charging time takes approximately 2 hours.
The phone is essentially basic with lots of addded modern day features and enhancements, ideal for middle-end users. If you're the one, you'll have no problems using this phone. World clock is a winner, very detailed and easy to use as well as the converter, calendar, timer, and etc... The phone's got a very good VGA camera X4 zoom. Pictures are of excellent quality with lots of enhancement and effects to choose from.
There's a File Manager that stores your images, sounds, music, video, and more. Sound quality is acceptable in making and receiving calls. Polyphonic tones are distinctive and can be heard even in a very noisy environment, thus you'll never miss your calls and important messages and reminders. I just missed the FM radio but I can live without it.

I don't encounter poor reception any time of the day since I bought this phone, strength is always on full bar though I live outside the metropolis.

It's style, I could say I never regretted having the Samsung SGH-x660. It's indeed a pretty and cool phone. You'll never need a second look if you see this phone. It cost me less than 200 American dollars but it's worth the money.

An excellent phone in its class. Perhaps with the same features with other phone brands could cost me more bucks.
