Messaging application doesn’t support Hotmail’s email format, and
there’s no HTML web browser on the 3660. However, there is still
a way of accessing your Hotmail email messages on the 3660. From
‘Services’, enter the URL http://mobile.msn.com , and you’ll
be able to access your Hotmail mail via WAP (Note that with o2 as your provider, you get an inclusive GPRS WAP allowance, meaning free Hotmail from your mobile. See our Series 60 WAP help page for Wap setup instructions)

option allows another device (such as a Psion or Pocket PC) to connect
to the Internet using infrared. We have successfully tested this
with a Psion Revo Plus, a Palm V and a Packard Bell 2060 Pocket
PC. Standard IR modem settings appear to work.

How
do I install software without IR or Bluetooth?		 If you don’t
have the ability to beam files to the 3660 via Bluetooth or infrared (either from another handheld device or from a PC),
then you may wish to purchase a Bluetooth or IRDA adapter for your
PC (this means you’ll be able to install software, backup and synchronise
your 3660) – See below.

There are a couple of alternatives however. One is to email the
file that you’re trying to install, typically a SIS (Symbian installation
file) to your own email account, and then use your 3660 to logon
to your email and download the SIS file as an attachment into your
3660 Messaging Inbox. For instructions on how to set up email on
your 3660, see our connectivity page.
The other is to use the 3660’s MMC card slot and a PC MMC Memory
card reader
How
do I connect my 3660 to my PC?

The 3660
can connect to a PC via Bluetooth or infrared. Here is a summary of
how to connect your 3660 to your PC.

  • USB infrared from Maplin IR connection.
    From the 3660, select ‘Connect | Infrared’ to turn the phone’s
    IR on. Line up the phone with the PC infrared port, and Windows
    should detect the 3660. Then, use the Nokia Connectivity package
    to select the file you want to send to the 3660.
    There are several IR adapters available, including the pictured
    ‘USB-IRDA Adaptor’ from Maplin Electronics (Cat no: RV88V).
  • Belkin Bluetooth adapter Bluetooth connection. From the 3660, select ‘Connect | Bluetooth’.
    Turn Bluetooth ‘On’, then move to the second tab by moving the
    joystick to the right. This should show you all Bluetooth devices
    in range. If your PC isn’t shown, select ‘Options | New paired
    device’ and let the 3660 search for the PC connection. When
    the phone and PC are paired, use the Nokia Connectivity package
    to select the file you want to send to the 3660.
    If your PC doesn’t support Bluetooth, then you can add it cheaply and easily using a USB
    Bluetooth adapter. We recommend the Belkin
    USB Bluetooth adapter     available for around £15 from amazon.co.uk.
    For details of Bluetooth, see our Bluetooth
    page    ,     and for help connecting, see our PC
    connectivity page
  • Memory card drive Memory card reader.
    If you don’t want to beam files from your PC to the phone, another
    option is to make use of the MMC card slot in the 3660. Get
    hold of a Memory card reader for around £20 and copy files onto an MMC card plugged into
    your PC. Find out more on our Memory
    card     page.

to the 3660 can be found in the Messaging application, in the
Inbox folder
Can
I browse the web from my 3660?		 This page on a 3660The
3660 comes with a Wap browser that is
capable of viewing web content designed for use over the Mobile
Internet. If you’re looking for HTML web access, take a look at Doris Browser. This is a small Java application that can be evaluated
for free for ten days. Once installed, you can find it from the
Tools | Apps icon. The browser supports image rendering, access
to secure sites as well as viewing Word and PDF documents – and
it all fits in under 50k.

the entries will disappear when they are older than the "Log
duration" setting. ("Log | Options | Settings").

which will remove all log entries, including the call costs and
durations.
Extra
memory for 3660		 MMC card The Nokia 3660 supports
MMC cards for memory expansion. Nokia can sell you their own MMC
cards, but their prices for Nokia-branded cards are higher than
for standard cards. We’ve not heard of any incompatibility with
non-Nokia cards, so it’s worth shopping around to get a third-party
card. Here are a few online options:

  • Amazon – Always a good choice for reliable delivery at good prices
  • eBay.co.uk – bid for
    new cards at low prices!

For more details, see our Memory
Card page

I use the 3660 in the States?		 Yes.
The 3660 is a tri-band phone operating on EGSM900/1800 (Europe,
Africa, Asia Pacific), and GSM1900 (USA, Canada, South America). There should be no problem
using the 3660 with network operators in these countries. Roaming
restrictions from your network operator may prevent use of some
services in other countries. Note that the Nokia 3620 is the US
variant of this handset.

playback of .mid or .wav files, and use of these file formats as

and select ‘Options | Save’. Then, from ‘Profiles’, select a profile
and set the ‘Ringing tone’ to the new file.
