Posted by: SharpST77

just got it today in the mail...i ordered the silver supreme t66..when i first open the box..i noticed how SMALL the phone was...then i notice the battery too..that was tiny...im charging it right now and was messin around with it...here is the list of good things about it and the things i dislike

Likes-
phone with battery is super light
Menu is insanely fast..compared to ericsson phones..and same speed as Nokia menu
i find the shortcut button pretty useful
the keypad has a nice feel to it
looks MUCH better in person
0 reception(In my house and with voicestream..*sigh*) and i still made a call..nice and clear
even though phone is small..the screen is big and easy to read

Dislikes-
It froze once on me already
the left scrolling key is really tough to press without hittin the 1 key
Battery cover is really tough to slide open
the side scrolling key on the left of the phone feels like it is about to fall off
Green LEDs!!! argh!
reception is not as good as my T39m..i can get 1-0 bar of reception in my house..i get 0 to No Network with the T66...i think its because of the location of my house..and GSM is really bad in around MA
US adapter feels loose
i didnt get the English Manual!!!

hehe..overall..i love the T66..even though reception is slightly lower than my old T39m...i can deal with it...i will post more about my T66 as i use it for awhile

Thanks Sharp, I am planning to buy T66 soon too... i also wanna know how long can the battery last....

oh yea..i payed 309 US for the phone..i recommend getting the T66 from LV wireless because it is the cheapest..hes selling it for 305 US..unless you can find it cheaper

I was really suprised that the keys were so easy to press and not mis-press surrounding keys with my big fingers when I was playing with a friend's T66. I understand your grief with green LEDs SharpST77, I hate green LEDs too, luckily we have modd shops The only thing stopping me is $$ Lol



Posted by: SharpST77

yea..im gonna mod the LEDs when i can find someone that can do it perfectly and not mess up...eh...the size and weight makes up for the green LEDs

I bought mine a week ago from this forum and it's not bad
My gf adores it so she's keeping it.
I agree with the green leds but good thing is mine was modded with white leds on display and blue lights on keypad.
Battery won't last and with modded lights, i don't think it'll last 2 days But I charge my phones daily.

cool...i sold my T66 already..sold it a long time ago..hehe.. i have a T68mc gold right now..and i love the T68 even more



Posted by: lowclass

same with my t68i
too bad my t68m gold didn't work out well, considered it was a cheap deal.
400$, brand new and 1yr warranty and I was stupid enough to sell it for 400$
My gf took the t66, she loves it.
