It's a great phone, I use it as a work phone. All I needed was a small compact feature phone with bluetooth connectivity and a generous battery life. The 2660 checks both of these.

Please help. How do you turn on the torch without going to the main menu? In my old nokia keypad phone, you just have to press the up button twice to turn it on.
Looking to get one of these for my gran, I have a question if you have time- do phone calls connect when you flip open the phone or is a button press needed? Also can the phone lock be removed? Cheers in advance!
@@fullyarnsYes phone call connects when you flip open and disconnects when you flip close. No need to press any button to receive or end calls and also it shows the name of the caller on the outer display screen and when flip closed to disconnect the call it shows the call is ended or disconnected.
I'm choosing between either 2660 or 8210, initially I wanted the 2660 for the charging cradle which means less wear on the micro usb port but then I realized its more plasticky, and clamshell which is more fragile than candy bar, also I like the the smaller keypad and firm keys on 8210 Usb c is more durable, lightning is even more durable but whatever the battery on these lasts longer than a smartphone, thus less plug and unplug

Thanks for the video! However, I must point out the disadvantages of the device! I've been using my Nokia 215 DS with dual SIM every day since 2016, both privately and for work. I wanted to switch to a 4g device, so I got the 2660. The first problem: You can't turn off the SIM cards individually on the 2660. Only flight mode on or off. I've tried ALL the options and it's just not possible. This is bad because I don't want to be available for my employer all the time in my free time. Furthermore, texting is unfortunately an absolute disaster. When you write texts, ALL words are written in lower case, except for the first word in the text message. Even after a period, there is no capitalization, which was even the case with the 215 DS. So if I want to start a sentence with a capital letter, I always have to scroll backwards with the cursor, delete the first letter, change the input mode using the hash key by pressing the key 6 times and then insert the capital letter. Unfortunately, there is no other option here either. Otherwise, the device looks and feels extremely good thanks to the large keys. The sound quality is also top! Unfortunately, I will be returning to my 215 DS because it is simply not suitable for everyday use! What a shame!
When are they going to make any of these work well in the USA :'( almost all of them look great but aren't made to work here. Thank you for always covering that in your reviews.
2G and 3G networks in North America are mostly discontinued, and most of these Nokias still use those networks. 4G models of these will have more chance of connecting.

It depends on your needs. I consider it a downgrade because of the lack of podcasts and USB-C, but if you don't care about those things, the 2660 is a good device for basic functionality.
Only reason Im not switching to "dumb phone" is camera. If they added a good (no super dark/no ai etc) camera to any of these phones and maybe spotify. Those two things, and Id switch from my iphone any time. :-)

No PC Suite. Yeah, KaiOS is abandonware unless you have the latest version. They never update you though, so no one will ever have the "latest" version.
The issue is that these devices are all for international markets. They haven't made them for the US sadly. I hope they will soon, but yeah it's a bummer.
@@JoseBriones fair enough. Im feeling better now that i know that it doesnt have any kind of hotspot capability. I wonder why Nokia keeps omitting that feature specifically in their latest feature phones
It's just weird why Nokia is trying to pull the nostalgia trick out the hat. During their era, nokia phones sold due to being worthy for the cost. Now it's not the same even after electronics became much affordable nowadays. If they could go back to their Symbian OS and establish like then. The mobile market would be nice. No independant or secure os platform nowadays.
@@JoseBriones Cool. I've never tried KaiOS yet. Some people are saying they lag a lot, but I want to test it out myself. My tertiary phone is a Nokia 110. Awesome battery life, works without lags, the only downside is the microUSB. The software is mature, though.
Hi Jose, I recently purchased this phone, and it's great. However my browser is not working? I've tried turning data on and off, but it just comes up with a message saying "please try again", and the browser doesn't open at all.

Because for some reason the SIM card didn't let me. I know it should because I saw 2G, but maybe it was only good for calls. The 2760 has no issues in the US
How many text messages can it store? I noticed these features phones have very limited text messages storage, you need to delete them after some message

Quite interesting ! For an elder who never had a smartphone, wich one would you recommend the most between 2760 and 2660? (Or a doro one?)
I'd recomend 2660.
The 2760 runs on KaiOs, most user reviews complain about the Operating system. It's very buggy and laggy.
2660 runs on S30+, which snappy, consistency and simple. It doesn't feature anything else except for the basics.
For the International market, the 2660 would be best and simpler to use.

They are really two different phones, but sure. I'll do it in an upcoming livestream :)
@@JoseBriones please do sir
Not really, looks the same when I go to the Nokia website. There is a camera specs difference. It's very confusing. 2660 flip vs 2760 flip.
Hey, thanks for the review! Does it support group text messaging?
It doesn't.
Does it support data sharing?
Is it upgrade or downgrade from 2760 flip from your perspective?
It depends on your needs. I consider it a downgrade because of the lack of podcasts and USB-C, but if you don't care about those things, the 2660 is a good device for basic functionality.

How is the clicking of the buttons on this device? Is it sturdy or weird plastic not so nice clicky like on the plum flip?
