Nokia E66
********
I always like Nokia phones but there are some other brands also have excellent phones so that I can't ignore that also. So I have tested almost all brands and now again going to discuss new phone from Nokia in business series that is called as E series.

The phone
Nokia E66 is great in many terms and the first and very interesting feature you will definitely like that is its attractive slim sliding design. Phone has a very beautiful look with dimension is about 107.5 x 49.5 x 13.6 mm, and it has a sliding design. I like most of sliding phones as they really look attractive and beautiful. Most of the phones in sliding category have thicker than this one, this phone has only 13.6mm thickness and it is really a slim phone in sliding category phones.
Display size is an average with 240 x 320 pixels resolution screen, about 2.4 inches and the TFT screen can support up to 16 million colors. 16 million colors what we have in mobile phones, is maximum resolution available.

Memory mania
The memory is interesting feature in any mobile phone, but there is no problem if phone support any external card. We can put any card size as per our requirement. Phone has good ARM 11 369 MHz processor for fast speed access and there are internal RAM of about 128 MB. This is most important feature of the phone and it really works fast in any conditions. Phone also has internal storage capacity with inbuilt 110 MB internal memory, for message, JAVA applications and internal storage like messaged etc.
Phone also support microSD (TransFlash) card with up to 8GB maximum memory and phone also have hotswap technology. Hotswap technology is more important for data security in card. We can remove card without making phone switch off. If we remove card without making phone off in non-hotswap technology, than there are more probability of data loss. So have peace of mind while removing card.

Data Connectivity
Phone is completely dominated for business users so that this is essential that this phone have almost all connectivity features. There are GPRS, HSCSD, EDGE, and most important features like 3G with about 3.6 Mbps speed support, WLAN that is also called as Wi-Fi with 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP and very interesting Infrared port, why Nokia has provided infrared port in such advanced technology? I don't know but there is hardly any connectivity feature which is not available in this phone. And at last I want to say that this phone has USB also with v2.0 microUSB.

Music, Camera, battery etc
Previously we have seen in Nokia E51, the phone has almost all important features like this but there were two versions available of E51. One of them doesn't have camera, means camera-free version and other one has camera. I always prefer phone without camera but there are some phones available which have really good camera so we can't avoid them.
This phone has good 3.15 MP camera (generally it is call as 3.2 MP camera),with maximum 2048x1536 pixels resolution pictures, has good autofocus, video recording ability but only QVGA with15fps, also have flash but it only for filling feature table.
Phone has Average MP3 player and FM radio, and there is a good battery capacity with Standard lithium ion battery, Li-Ion 1000 mAh (BL-4U), with about 7 hours of talktime. Overall entire phone will really attract you. Recommended.

Summary: Advanced Phone with almost all features.
