Once you open up the web browser for the first time, everything will be in landscape mode. This is by far the best way to browse the web, as it makes use of the full display in width. On the home page, which can be customized, is a Google search feature, some various information about your RSS feeds and recent visits, as well as links to Sony Ericsson services; one being the m-buzz music store.
Generally, the K660 does a good job in mobile web browsing, and it does a fair job on websites that aren’t too complex. The browser isn’t as advanced as other browsers - as always, I’d recommend installing either Opera Mini or TeaShark, if you want the optimal web experience on your Sony Ericsson feature phone.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to set up my email accounts on the K660. It supports both IMAP4 and POP3 protocols. It should also be possible to attach large files, and receive these files on the phone, but again, I didn’t manage to try that out.
Phonebook works great
You can save up to 1000 contacts on the K660, or a total of 7000 telephone numbers. Personally, I don’t think I’d ever get close to 1000 contacts, but I guess a few people will need this amount of memory.
You can store various information about each contact. This includes numerous different types of telephone numbers, email addresses, website, name, picture, special ring tone, work and private related informations about postal address, title and so on. Finally there’s also the option to add a date for the contact’s birthday - this date can then be put in the calendar and the phone will remind you that the contact’s birthday is coming up. It’s such a brilliant feature, which I’ve found useful on quite a few occasions.
Just like other A2-based phones, the K660 supports the Smart Search feature. Imagine you’d have to go through a list of hundreds of contacts just to find one number - did I see you shiver? No need to do that! If I were to find my contact entry in the phone book, I’d simply have to type “6, 4″ for “M, i” and my entry would pop up as well as other entries where this number combination fits (this could be Michael, Nick, etc.). It also works with telephone numbers, so if you were to find the number “123456789″, you could simply type in “1, 2″ and it would pop up.
I freakin’ love the phonebook!
