Package, exterior
Made in Finland – that’s what we can read on the phone, so those can relax who consider that there are great differences between phones assembled in Europe and those made in the Far East. In the relatively small box there is the usual charger, a USB-microUSB cable, a fine leather case and a stereo headset, while the phone has a 2 GB microSD card inside.
The phone itself is a real high quality one. On one hand it’s finally made of metal, I have been really missing the great materials they were using in 6500. On the other hand this design is a really successful one. It’s stylish, it’s elegant, it’s obviously a Nokia, and it’s just as flat and heavy as it has to be. One really feels the quality and there’s nothing else to say.
There is a large display on the front with the usual QVGA resolution, it has a diagonal of 2.4”. Below it there are the buttons that can be familiar from E51, which are in many ways different than the controls we could have seen on other Symbian-based Nokias. The navigation key is just like as it has to be on any kind of handset, its rim has a slight white backlight which is temporarily lit when something happens and the user can set how long the light should be on. Around it there are nine keys in total. The external buttons are the usual (call accept/reject, function keys), but those that are more to the inside have a small icon on them. The small house switches between the main screen and the menu, while the functions of the calendar, the small book and the envelope are quite obvious. The clear key is placed under the navigation key.
Sliding is easy, there is metal sliding on metal. The keypad that appears modestly fits in the general harmony of shapes, pressure point is great, and text entry is very easy. On the left side of E66 there is a 2.5 mm headset connector and a microUSB port, while on the right side of the handset there are the volume control keys with the voice dialing hotkey placed between them. A bit below there is only the camera’s hotkey.
There is a grated surface on both sides, but these aren’t speakers (I’ve been fooled by this). These are two small panels that can be depressed and when they are pressed at the same time we can take the metal back cover (that has a really unique design) off. This reveals the microSD card’s slot on the side, where we can put a card of up to 8 GB in size. On the upper part of the back side there is a camera with a really sleek design and a flash, while on the bottom part there is a really small hole that is the source of our musical experience. There is a red button sitting on top of the phone, this is the power and profile changer key, specific of the manufacturer. The strange is that it’s not perfectly centered, but it’s a bit on the right.
