New Prepaid Cell Phone Rumor: T-Mobile to release Nokia 1661
Posted by Derek in prepaid cell phones, t-mobile prepaid on April 7, 2009
Late last week, we learned that T-Mobile will release the slick Nokia 1661 later this month to work on its prepaid cell phone plans. There wasn’t much by the way of details, though so we assumed (that’s what we get for assuming) it would be a low-end phone for postpaid. However, that may not be true.
Website Mobile Burn has a rumor about T-Mobile’s 2009 plans in which they mention that the 1661 “will apparently be available for the prepaid side of the market on April 29.” This is very good news indeed for the prepaid market.
There’s still no official pricing details, though that should come very soon. It’s not a super fancy phone, but its a nice design, and more choices for prepaid is always a good thing. It’s a basic candybar style phone with an FM radio built in and a nice 128×160 display. It does have a bright “torch” light built in which apparently lets you cut through the darkness whenever needed.
As we’ve said before, more choices are good.

T-Mobile Takes New Nokia 1661 Phone
Posted by admin in prepaid phones, t-mobile prepaid on April 2, 2009
T-Mobile’s prepaid cell phone service will have a new handset added to its roster with the Nokia 1661. This model is a low end phone in the candy bar shape.
No prices have been released, but most people agree that this phone will be cheap. It’s another addition for T-Mobile users to choose from, especially as the price won’t scare away the dedicated subscriber base who tend to want affordable options.
The Nokia handset has one interesting element that hasn’t been seen too much on cell phones (except probably in Asia, where the phones are pretty advanced and over the top)–the head of the phone doubles as a flashlight. I can definitely see the use of this option as sometimes I flip my phone open to use the light from the screen as a light when it’s dark. Still, this phone is primarily just for making good old fashioned phone calls.
