Call quality and "practical" battery life of Nokia 1661?

I noticed that you don't mention either of these things in this review of the
Nokia 1661. I'm in the market for the most basic of prepaid phones and this looks like a potential candidate. But, I'd like to know if the call quality is solid and what one can expect out of the battery life. Was wondering if you could comment on those aspects here? Thanks.

Hi,

Call quality and battery life seemed reasonable enough. For a basic phone, the only real drawback was the quality of the keypad which made making some of the selections a bit of a pain to use.

Given what's available you might try the
Samsung t139 or
Samsung t239 even though they do cost a bit more.

Save the money via the plan rather than the phone.
