Nokia E66: If I want to speak it with me!
Hello community now views a different type of report from me and that I would like to present you my new party. This is the mobile phone Nokia E66. A great part with lots of features I’m very happy with it. I tried on the most essential respond even someone should have any questions or miss something, I wear it for you or give information.
Place of purchase / purchase price
Bought from Amazon at 399, – €. Gift from my friend I wanted a contract extension but, unfortunately, had my mobile phone is not the party line so he bought me one free!
Unpacking / first inspection
The device was delivered in the standard cardboard packaging. The phone itself was also in a plastic bag so it will not scratch the display is still the protector. Does very well I must say! The remaining equipment was packed into small cardboard boxes. In a round was in the other accessories you can find the manuals and the software CD. USB cable, charger, headphones, battery, manuals, CD and pouch, everything is as what to do so.
Design
After I held the phone in my hands was the same to me once the difference on my Sony Ericsson W880i. The Nokia E66 is a little heavier on the material since it is mainly made of stainless steel. The side buttons are made of dark gray plastic. The power button is above the red plastic can not be overlooked. Was somewhat unusual since I have turned my old phone directly through the Auflegeknopf. Compared to my iPhone in the weight is about the same with the Nokia E66 is somewhat smaller.
The front control buttons below the display are coated with a transparent plastic If postponed the phone so the keys come out better. The button has a red handset to hang a sign on it and the button to remove a green telephone. The hot keys for menu and camera have a blue line on the beautiful lights in activity. In the middle is a silver button which a jump around the menu very relieved. Each direction can be shown with various functions.
The buttons inside are made of dark gray plastic and about 5mm high and 12mm long and are very close together. The whole keypad is just 2.4 cm high and 3.8 cm long. The key 5 has left and right above 2 small increases so you can also look without some orientation when writing SMS. The letters, symbols and icons are painted in white.
The display is super tall and measures 3.5 cm in width and 5cm height so to see some evidence. The display is very sharp and you really need to look closely at the fine points up at all. Above the display is the manufacturer’s name in silver NOKIA and right next to the name, the name also to the silver E66. About the brand name of the speaker is mounted.
If the phone before so it can infect the upper left side of the headphones. In the middle is the USB cable is catching and below is the button which you press together with the left on the side of the lid must be solved backwards.
Below you will find only the power supply.
Right-side are bottom button to open the 2nd said lid. In the button for the camera. The upper section can be found then the Leiseknopf, the button for the voice and the Lautknopf.
Turning now to the phone and looks at the back we find up here, the flash for the camera and next to the lens. Under the lens there is a small mirror for self portraits. The rear cover is special about the cell phone he has an embossed pattern which you can clearly feel when attacking the phone. Similarly, there are still some increases the manufacturer’s name and the name Eseries.
The transition from the display range If postponed the phone for the lower keyboard range is solved first. Side and top to close the two parts exactly. Below is the upper range a little higher and rounded thus no smooth transition. But it fits the design of the inner cell phones ich.Im find where is the battery you also find the micro SD card. This is imprinted above the side grab an automatic. Included was a 2GB micro SD card.
The bag is very classy black leather exterior and interior of red felt. Here, the mobile phone is thus laid very well.
Slider Phone
This phone is a slider phone, meaning it moves on. Not like many other phones here, both parts are really well connected. If you put off the phone wobbles so here anything. No lift or move sideways. Sliding up and down is collected by means of a spring type something. One does not need much strength, it moves but not even accidentally. Here we have found a good mediocrity.
Features
This phone is a true business phone. It really has everything you need. The main functions that I use, I will describe, the rest can be taken from the manufacturing side. It’s not a question here all the technical details to copy but purely to illustrate the use of various programs.
Quite turned back to the beginning, the phone is up you must now enter the pin. Then we see the Nokia logo a few seconds, then the animated Nokia logo appears with his hands. Then there is a short animated intro and away you go. Duration of this process about 15 seconds.
The phone network was recognized immediately so the phone is ready for use immediately. Here I would like to mention that we live in a concrete building. Normal 0-8-15 phones get us a little reception in the apartment since we already have to go out onto the terrace. No matter which room I find I am never less than two connection lines 7 so I finally have a phone in every room possible. Even the GPS signal is received may take a little but he finds it. With the iPhone to me is the only possible on the terrace.
FUNCTIONS
The entire menu can be achieved very fast and is built very understandable. Under each icon you will also find the name for it so here you can already do anything wrong. I will now explain briefly the menu functions. Those who I feel is important I’ll explain in detail below then closer again.
JUKEBOX
Here we must establish an Internet connection. Thus, with costs, but no matter to me as I have from my iPhone when the iPhone tariff package and thus 3GB can surf. The connection is super fast and everything is about 5 seconds to take pictures there.
OFFICE
Here you will find many areas such as calendar, search, calculator, Quick Office, File Manager, Clock, Converter, update notes, notes, wireless keyboard, dictionary, printing, Internet, Zip, Adobe PDF.
Many of the features are self-explanatory and did not explain myself.
Eg search is limited to the Internet.
QUICK OFFICE can be charged and is very similar to the Office package here to make text, spreadsheets and presentation documents.
File Manager provides an overview of all the files and programs on the phone. install one comb to remove, delete, view, etc.
WIRELESS KEYBOARD – will search via Bluetooth for a wireless keyboard. Facilitates the review one if you do not want to press the small button by the phone.
ZIP – you can pack up various things and then send the same as the PC. Saves space.
PRINTER – you have a Bluetooth enabled printer at home are so you can make this look with the phone. Allows one to print various messages, etc.
LINKS – Here you can find such connection manager. Since you can even create links such as WLAN, etc..
are infrared, Bluetooth, USB, modem and WLAN wizard in the menu too. Is it possible to enable or disable all or individually.
MEDIA
Here you find so few, such as recording, radio, podcasting, jukebox, gallery, Real Player, radio, camera, Onl. To third parties or., 3D sounds, Flash Player, and Musk shop.
RECORD allows a phone to use as a dictaphone.
PLAYER is a music player which plays MP3s. Here you can select using the directional button silver play, pause, next track, back track, or stop. Very easy to use.
POADCASTING a fee and do I really do not. I play my music via my USB cable to the phone.
GALLERY – here you will find all pictures, music, videos, etc. From here everything can be viewed and played back when you click on the file.
The REAL PLAYER know many of these determined by the PC allows a look at the videos.
RADIO – this only works when the headset is connected.
CAMERA – I guess this really the same from the outside in operation when I press the button on the right side.
3D SOUNDS – you can change the ring tones sound like MP3s.
FLASH PLAYER – know the many forth from the PC. Used to display Vidos.
INTERNET
For this to be created in the connections to the Internet. At my rate I needed to choose providers on the Internet only my phone and I was then sent three SMS. This presented have already installed the settings automatically.
COMMUNICATION
ANR. MAILBOX – you can listen to the voice box. Have this number but also in contacts in the phone goes so quickly.
CONTACTS – you can edit and call. But if you go faster you speed-dial button presses on the display.
COMMUNICATIONS – Here you can manage its SMS, MMS and send emails as well. Also goes faster than the speed dial menu, which is out on display right on top.
INTERNET PHONE – Is a fee and I have not used.
MEMORY – Here you can assign different keys for longer then contacts the press of the button to call.
SYSTEM
DATA EXCHANGE – is a software installed which allows one to retrieve data from another phone. I have tried it with the Nokia mobile phone from my friend went smoothly. With my Sony Ericsson W880i was no longer so simple here that I was asked to install one on my Sony software. Have I could but then left who knows what happened with my Sony so all the data send via infrared.
MEMORY – Here is the status of the memory card appears
Device Manager – Not use read only do I own times.
PROFILE – you can between the various profiles such as silent, outside, switch, etc. back and forth discussion. Each profile is set to the diverse environment whether with a loud ring tone, silent or vibration.
EEINSTELLUNGEN – This can be general settings on the phone how to change pin code, set back to factory settings. Even phone settings such as call forwarding and call barring, and network can be set here by jumping just with the direction button on the next icon. Connections you can also activate and run various programs.
Synchronize is also possible if the software from Nokia on a PC or notebook has been installed. To do this you will only need a mobile phone with your PC / laptop to connect via USB or Bluetooth.
Encrypt – Here you can back up his data a bit on the phone and on the memory card.
THEMES – can adjust quickly to the background and the overall layout to change the menu. A few will have built-up you have something different to what we can download.
Voice – Here you can for things such as profiles, mailbox, etc. say the name is stored. Used to speed dial if you do not want to dig around times in the menu. It will then simply press the button on the right side between loud and soft, and can then talk already.
LANGUAGE – Here you set the language was English only, unfortunately had to up my download so German. Similarly, one can choose between male and female voice output.
Voice aid – Enables you to get to this so whenever you press the info. Is quite annoying for me of course not enabled. May be good for people who do something with reading difficulty or can not see the small letters can.
Barcode scanner – Here you can scan the EANS I find funny. But it takes a steady hand for this. If the field is red it does not recognize the code. If the field is yellow, everything is ok.
GPS
The Navisoftware on this phone. A little more complicated to apply than the iPhone.
You’ll find maps, GPS data and Or-points.
If the cards you have to go online so that’s already charged. The first use has started in Germany at me funny but no matter. In search I then entered Vienna, and it took about three seconds were displayed to me several names to choose from. Underneath the city streets as well as with the name content Vienna. Just look at the city of Vienna is clicked and lo and behold, within two seconds I was already shown everything. The map is really accurate. One finds here the same as on every major navigation using icons gas stations, restaurants, subways, etc. This software is a great navigation system for not much.
GPS data – here you can let work out like one long for a certain distance as needed. You just have to define the landmarks in the targets. Something the whole tedious and not always be the target immediately recognized.
MOBILE TV
From my very little used. About the Internet, I can easily access this page. Channels such as Orf and ATV, etc. The menu button navigates you a little pointer on the screen and when you’re on target simply press the center button. The Internet itself is very fast I must say. The TV broadcasts have a good quality, even the sound is consistent, no delay. Unfortunately, the display is a bit small for it.
SHOP!
This is where you access the Internet and can be various things such as games, themes, music, software, etc. Download a charge from the web. This is then also next to a product like always, the price is paid. I still have not bought anything since the phone is on the functions and forth on the subject eh well equipped.
INSTALLATION
Here you will find various games and programs installed. Some demo versions and two full versions. There are also some programs on it that you must install it. Here, however, just read because it can give rise to the cost again.
MINUTES
Here you can find data on his phone like how much you time you phoned already has the entire call time, etc. Also you can view the recent calls which have been missed, or has or has chosen. This gives a nice list with all data such as caller name, time and date. The packet data can be found here. Here you can clearly see how much data you have sent and received them. If you reset with each monthly invoice to the review of its data volume not to lose.
HELP
Here you can let the phone explained. The introduction lets you choose what you want to have one here said there is any area that I have explained in my report. You get nice screenshots displayed below, and will always be shown a text which you must read. I think very well understood and explained.
Display
The display is very sharp and has a nice feature. If you hold the hand normal so it looks like any other phone as well. But one tends to the left turns the phone so well with the display and is now displayed elongated. Screenshot I attached. You can set the display panel of any size. Here you can eg also possible to create quick-launch icons which an even faster approach. So I have my SMS, Bluetooth, Internet, gallery, and so immediately placed in the top front panel. Similarly, one can rauslegen calendar one has to always equal a glance all appointments.
The clock is also eingezeigt they can be set large or small. Similarly, the network operator and the date are displayed. Links you can find the reception and right, for the battery level.
Nokia PC Suite / Contacts care
Sets the provided software CD, it will also be started immediately. If one is connected to the Internet is searched for and immediately after the current version. The CD was no longer the latest. So I was asked to load the new. Went very quickly and was installed instantly. In the end I was asked to connect the phone via USB cable. Shortly, the phone drivers have been installed on my notebook. After everything was finished I then opened the program. On the phone I had to choose then I will work with PC Suite. Only then will the contacts and all the data were visible on the laptop.
The access is very fast on the phone. I have about 120MB rüberkopiert music in about 2:40 minutes. I think not so bad.
PC Suite is very simple. One can find his phone on the left and right of the areas which you can edit on the phone. Everything on the basis of symbols which explain by itself. If you drive one of the icons you’re gonna get whatever information a text so that we know really what is at stake here.
For example, when the contacts symbols then goes back to a window and then you see the whole list of names from your address book. you can click on a name so you say to edit with the right mouse button. Then a small window to go where you can type a lot. Here you can really add all that concerns the person by telephone number, address, via email, birthday, comment, etc. Also a picture can be pasted here directly the same.
Super can I also find that I get my emails very quickly and easily. The email account can be set easily enter all you need is the information provider. In my case it went even faster as my network operator, has carried out these settings via SMS. Can the Internet make it very fast. You just have to side with the operator to go there then at the Internet service provider to set the configurations, specify his email address and password already, you can send this SMS to your phone. Once there, just open and everything is already installed automatically.
SMS / MMS
The letter is also great. For my finger on the keyboard is perfect and men are likely to have no problem it is moderately large. What I noticed you have removed the various ICONS from the supplementary symbols. No more smilies thus contain one must make them again with the traditional symbols such as colon and parenthesis. Even a small flaw here, one has to search each time the contact again. The last name has sent you a text message will not be stored in a list.
Camera
This I think is good. 3.2 megapixels are quite sufficient for a cell phone. These photos are only snapshots and when you drive holiday or so you have a camera anyway, and not taken with the phone.
The camera is quickly activated the right button just below the display press is already going on there. With the loud quiet keys you can zoom. If you press the right button below the display again is a bar of one additional settings allowed eg in the Viedomodus switch, turn on the flash, the self-timer, the colors, the search grid, white balance, exposure compensation, sequence mode and scene modes. Here you can adjust things like the digital camera such as landscape, night, portrait, etc.. Demensprechend then the camera image is adjusted. I left it on automatic. If you made an image so it can also be immediately sent into the net set or deletion. The trigger is very fast I think. The images are very sharp’ve had some of them already set on my 16 “notebook as a background image. Was a good quality!
Listen to MP3s
The MP3s can be played without problems. You put on his headset so it has surprised me that you can not really use this for advancing. On my Nokia I could apply further on the headset the songs. Here, unfortunately, is not, one must make on the phone. A little difficulty because it must therefore operate.
The sound quality is great here, there is nothing to criticize. The speaker of the phone is the music good again is also quite loud not really an overturning of the notes.
The headset is ok. I would indeed Stöpel one can quite put into the ear have preferred, but these serve their purpose.
Battery
The first day I used the phone very hard since I had to inspect all times. The first charge lasted me 4 hours. The battery was about 1.5 days. I was already wondering something. You notice that here but some power-hungry are active.
Now that I normally use the phone to make phone calls, browsing, writing text messages and MMS as well as to take photos and listen to MP3, does the battery last about four days. I am not excessively Telefoniererin writer and SMS. Come to 100 SMS per month. For this use I find the whole four days ok.
Cleaning
Since the phone is made of stainless steel, it can very quickly clean with a cloth. You see, unfortunately, very quickly the Fingertapser it. Even with the fingers, you can wipe it works even if you drüberfährt only very slightly. The phone has no scratches as far as I could find. For plastic phones quickly once you see a scratch on the Nokia N66 also looks after a month use still like NEW!
POSITIVE
Features total. You can make this phone really very much.
Included 2GB micro SD card.
Protective leather and velvet.
Quick access to the Internet.
Nokia PC Suite is a very simple and should pose no problem.
Large display which can also rotate.
Elegant design made of stainless steel, looks after a month is not needed from!
NEGATIVE
Negative, I find that you have installed so many programs in use but which only then registered and then also be charged. The position should have been better to release for various other things such as photos, etc. Pure waste of space I think.
Unfortunately, even the Navisoftware is a bit too complicated. You should, it is similar to TomTom or so to build a very simple operation, I think.

Conclusion
From me, there are 4.5 stars for the phone. Both battery life and reception have convinced me of the part. Few can phone it in our concrete walls to build a decent reception this phone already. A phone for more experienced users. For just a telephone rather not the right one.
