The Sony Ericsson K660i is the second Skype compatible phone ITProportal.com is reviewing this year and unlike the Skypephone, this one is available on other non 3 (three or 3G) networks, more about that in a bit.
The model we reviewed is the black/bordeaux colour; three other variants are available, the lime white version, cyan on black and the silver black one and there's no denying that it is pretty attractive, especially compared to the slightly smaller Skypephone (see our review here).
The phone has been dubbed a clone phone by some like Mobile-Phones-uk and to be fair, Sony has released a number of similar, more or less popular candy bar cell phones, most of which belong to the K series - you can see Sony's 50 candy bar models here.
The K660i was released back in November 2007 and its main highlight is the fact that it comes with HSDPA (3.5G) connectivity which means that you should be able to surf online at speeds that would put the iPhone non-3G to shame.
In addition, you should be able to use the phone as a modem for your laptop although we have not tried this yet; mind you, the phone is very roughly twice the size of a normal USB broadband dongle and some of us might not feel comfortable having their prized possessions dangling at the end of a cable.
At 95g and about the size of a two-finger KitKat bar (104mm x 47mm x 15mm), it will easily be tucked away in a jean pocket.
