Bought a black one today in Greece for 299 euros. It comes with a 512 M2, USB cable, and the Walkman earphones. The camera is disappointing and is much worse than the one on the W880 which also lacks auto-focus. The speaker is shrilly like most SE phones. I also have a Nokia 6120 which costs practically the same if you purchase it with a 2GB card. There is NOT one single characteristic in which the W660 is better than the 6120! NOT A SINGLE ONE! Its price is completely wrong!
Compared to the 6120, the W660:
1. Does NOT have HSDPA 3.5G capabilities
2. Has worse camera. Also, no zoom at 2Mp resolution vs 8X zoom at 2Mp.
3. Has much worse video (176X144 vs 320X240)
4. Has much worse screen of the same size though. (176X220, 256K colors vs 240X320, 16 million colors).
5. Has worse speaker.
6. Has 3 GSM + 1 UMTS bands vs 4 GSM + 2 UMTS bands.
7. Has no smartphone capabilities and ultra-fast 369 MHz processor. The 6120 is so fast that you can use it as a smartphone or as a regular phone without any lagging.

W660 should be around 200-250 $. Anything over that its a waste of money.

it costs around 210 euros here in malaysia on launch, for a SIM free. decent price, considering the specifications. i can see the price dropping real soon though, since a SIM free k800 costs only around 20 euros more. a decent price should be 180 euros, considering the specifications i think. seriously thinking of getting one, the keypad looks perfect for a texting heavy phone.
so no unboxing pictures yet? anyone?
how does the screen compare with the w810 or k550?

Thanks for the link. And please don't complain about the camera, this is meant to be an emotional Walkman phone

Hmm... Went to
www.sonyericsson.com to use the "Try the phone" function and guess what I saw?
W660 with auto-focus and macro-mode?
W660 with 3MP camera?
Well if they're true, I'm definitely gonna sell my W810 and get the W660.

On the phone demo on the SE website it has a sleep mode clock. Is that true on the real phone?

@gola, I know it has a 2 megapixel camera, which is why I took a screenshot of the 3 megapixel on the phone demo.
