NEC E606

~Introduction~ I have had the Nec e606 for about three months now. I previously had the Motorola a835, which decided to break so I needed to replace it. The problem is that I have a contract with 3 Mobile; I think you will all sigh at that, and that means that I can only put my sim card in a 3 Mobile telephone. As if that’s not bad enough, it has to be a contract and not a pre pay phone. This is probably about the most bearable phone available on the 3 network, so I decided to purchase one on the cheap from eBay. The phone itself was released when 3 mobile first came into being. It was, I suppose their flagship phone and also the ...  Read the complete review

The e606 is intrinsically connected with the '3' 3G service in the UK, so this review is about both the service and the phone itself. Summary: I would not recommend the e606/3 phone and service - both products seem premature in the marketplace. The phone: - The phone is full of features but the battery life is very poor. After 4 years my old Nokia 2110 still lasts 2 days on a full battery. I hate to think how the e606 battery life will have degraded after 4 years of use, it can now only muster 2 days on a brand new battery! There also seems to be a problem "charging whilst talking" - phone seems to use battery even when plugged ...  Read the complete review

I've had my NEC e606 phone for about two months now, after getting it through a special offer from Phones4U. The phone was free, if I connected to the Videotalk 750 tariff. Like many technology whores before me, I was eager to get the new G3 phone, and positively drooled over the prospect of 750 cross network free minutes per month. This left my old T-Mobile "Everyone 150" tariff to choke on the dust left in 3's wake. You can't begin to compare T-Mobile's 150 minutes for £25 per month, and 3's 750 minutes for £35. (The £25 equivalent on 3 gives you 500 cross network minutes.) The Videotalk 750 tariff also included 50 text ...  Read the complete review

I never thought i would be able to get a 3g phone. I have tried for loads or things on credit...all been refused thanks to a cock-up at Singlepoint where they said i never paid where i did. But i thought i might as well try for a phone on 3....the worst that could happen is they say no....BUT i GOT PASSED!!. Anyway about the phone..... One of the best i have ever had and belive me i have had LOTS (over 100 cause i deal in them buying and sellin etc..). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- Battery: This is really the ONLY bad point of this phone. But thats why you ...  Read the complete review

First of all - This is a review of the NEC E808 and NOT the E606 – I had to do this because DooYoo has no review page for the E808. When I first got this handset, the first thing that hit me was the size. For a mobile phone, it’s massive, and more the size of a PDA than a phone. Luckily, this is well justified. The phone sports a large colour screen, and a full QWERTY keyboard which is great for messaging, but strangely doesn’t come with a back light which means that if you’re using the phone at night, you have to tilt the screen down towards the keyboard – a major oversight. The keys are quite small, but are quite easy to press ...  Read the complete review
