Low-end Nokia 1661 coming to T-Mobile USA

Nokia announced a new entry-level candybar for T-Mobile USA – Nokia 1661. There’s nothing too exciting about this device, except that it may help the Finnish giant expand its U.S. market share, at least a little.

Specs wise, there’s a dual-band GSM radio on board, 1.8-inch 128×160 pixels screen, FM radio, speakerphone, flashlight, and a battery that can sustain up to 8 hours of talk and up to 624 hours of standby time. Pre-installed on the device are two games – Sudoku and Mobile Soccer.

There’s no word on the pricing, but we’re thinking the Nokia 1661 will be available for free on a contract, or for about $50 sans any contracts signed. Release date is set for “later this month.”

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    T-Mobile should finally realize that everyone who wanted to enter has already entered and no longer needs the “entry-level” phone. It’s time to step up to “Intermediate” and upper level devices.

The problem is that this phone is locked by T-mobile, and I´ve tried all the unlocking web sites, bun none of theme can unlock 1661. Please help me, i live in Brazil, and i cant contact T-mobile to unlock it for me. Thanks and best regards!
