I have used both, and even though on paper it says that the 3660 has a 65K screen too - I'm telling you it's not as clear and crisp as the screen of a 6600. Another thing... watching videos on a 3660, and watching the same video (using realone player) on a 6600, you'd notice that there's almost no lag in the 6600. Whereas there's frequent slowdowns in the 3660.
Batt life of the two phones are the same, as well as the RF performance...
cheers! :)

I would go 6600, 3660 is just a bit too quirky looking and far bigger as well. Hardware-wise they are almost identical.

I have used the 3650 and 6600 and I like the feel of the 6600 better.

If you're a kid or a kid-at-heart, the 3660 isn't so bad. Despite it's size, I actually think though I may be wrong, that it feels just a tad lighter than the 6600 and is easier to hold. The fact that it is cheaper is also appealing.
If you're into business or if you're of the conservative variety, the 6600 is a good buy. The keypad and the joystick are easy to use. Screen is vibrant (though the screen of the 7610 is even more vibrant).
Both have vga cameras and 65,000++ color screens if I'm not mistaken.

I know what you mean about the weight. But 6600 is 125g and 3660 is 130g, I think it feels lighter because it's less dense (i.e. more volume and so weight is distributed more across it). Basically, if you can handle both phones lack of multimedia, then the 6600 is a good bet, but if you want something a little more quirky and 'out-there', the 3660 is a good choice. Both phones can get changeable covers. The 6600 also has 6mb internal RAM vs. 3660 with only 3.4mb. 3660 would probably be a lot cheaper than the 6600 at current prices too.

@DEVIANT:
Yeah, dense was the word I was looking for. The 6600 does feel very compact, it's like all its weight is at the center. Somehow, the weight of the 3660 seems more evenly distributed.
My sister has a 6610 and she loves the radio. I'm more interested in a phone's camera, even if I'm aware it could never compare to a megapixel digital camera. It's imagery more than sound which excites me.
I have to admit, I'm always amazed at how loud the stereo speakerphone is on the 6610 for radio. It definitely helps fight boredom.
Can't wait for the day when nokia releases a 3.2 megapixel or even a 5 megapixel camera phone, then again maybe I'm better off buying an actual 5 megapixel digital camera.

7610 is the perfect phone if you want a phone with weight evenly distributed

7610 may be a nice size but it has no IR port and is very expensive for very little advantage over either the 6600 or 3660, plus it takes the more expensive RS-MMC format.
