Its been a long time coming. Does it or does it not have the Auto Rotate feature?

Its a very nice design, looks more expensive than it actually is.

It's a nice walkman phone. I don't know about the picture quality of the pics taken with the camera, but for music users I think it's great. And the design of the red one is awesome for those who want "fashion music" phone .

Just ordered a rose red one for my grilfriend. She completely loves the design but doesn't have any high demands regarding specs.

odelsteken, can you please upload the preinstalled themes, ringtones, wallpapers and demo tour video once your gf get it? Thank you:)
from my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing.

But it has a "brother" if you want this model with AF, you can take w610, but then you dont have 3G

Bought a black one today in Greece for 299 euros. It comes with a 512 M2, USB cable, and the Walkman earphones. The camera is disappointing and is much worse than the one on the W880 which also lacks auto-focus. The speaker is shrilly like most SE phones. I also have a Nokia 6120 which costs practically the same if you purchase it with a 2GB card. There is NOT one single characteristic in which the W660 is better than the 6120! NOT A SINGLE ONE! Its price is completely wrong!

Compared to the 6120, the W660:
1. Does NOT have HSDPA 3.5G capabilities
2. Has worse camera. Also, no zoom at 2Mp resolution vs 8X zoom at 2Mp.
3. Has much worse video (176X144 vs 320X240)
4. Has much worse screen of the same size though. (176X220, 256K colors vs 240X320, 16 million colors).
5. Has worse speaker.
6. Has 3 GSM + 1 UMTS bands vs 4 GSM + 2 UMTS bands.
7. Has no smartphone capabilities and ultra-fast 369 MHz processor. The 6120 is so fast that you can use it as a smartphone or as a regular phone without any lagging.

W660 should be around 200-250 $. Anything over that its a waste of money.

it costs around 210 euros here in malaysia on launch, for a SIM free. decent price, considering the specifications. i can see the price dropping real soon though, since a SIM free k800 costs only around 20 euros more. a decent price should be 180 euros, considering the specifications i think. seriously thinking of getting one, the keypad looks perfect for a texting heavy phone.

so no unboxing pictures yet? anyone?

how does the screen compare with the w810 or k550?
