The Nokia E66 is a slim but luxurious GSM slider smartphone running Symbian S60, with Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G and a 3.2MP camera, to name a few of its many features.
The Good: Calls on the phone are loud and clear both directions. Thin form factor and grippy textured back make it enjoyable to hold. Got a decent flash camera that takes sharp pictures and video.Wi-Fi and 3G load fast in the browser.

The Bottomline: It’s good, but it’s not $500 good, especially without a qwerty. Read more
