  13. Ajish kallayi says:

    This phone is not good one, my friend using this phone, saying that this is assembled phone , it camera, audio player, video player sucks because its of china phone, and its software number is not Qt 66, is nokia 6680. preloaded software not working properly. operater Gprs setting cannot be received by this phone.

    Those Buy this phone will completely dissappointed.

    My opinnion is that if u want cheap phone Then buy china phone,

    or want good quality phone Then buy Branded phones like nokia, samsung, ericsson, LG

  14. SK379 says:

    Dear Ajish this phone is the finest phone in the Market at this low price u won’t get wi-fi and wireless FM with 6.0 CM screen… Yes it shows Nokia 6680 everywhere i don’t know…!

    Do not use AutoLock feature always lock it manually by pressing righthand softkey below Names and than quickly press SYM key.

    I use Opera 5.0 and the browsing my god its like browsing on PC I downloaded upto 4 MB files without any problem.

    I know It has some drawbacks also but every phone has drawbacks…I like it and I bought it in MAR since then it cheers me every day.

    Thanks

  18. DEEPAK SOLANKI says:

    Mr. Devendra

    I am the current user of Spice QT-66.
    If u don’t know how to operate a multimedia phone or facing problem then go for some basic phone.

    DEEPAK SOLANKI

  19. Viru says:

    Kindly let me know what will be the seetings to run wifi
    i mean dhcp yes or no and data account – wifi or gprs etc..

  20. SK379 says:

    Good Reply Deepak I like it,

    Just Note Down Settings:

    FOR WiFi:
    Network Type : Infrastructure
    Security Mode : Shared
    Encryption Mode : WEP
    WEP Key Settings : TCP/IP Settings : DHCP : YES (No Need to Enter anything its dynamic)

    For Java Settings:
    Settings:
    Put all on “Prompt at First”
    Network Profile:
    Profile Mode : User Specific
    Select SIM : Master( the Sim which is GPRS enabled)
    Java Master SIM Profile : Default (Because when you enabled WiFi it become the Default One)

    Thanks
    SK

  21. SK379 says:

    One more thing It always show Nokia 6680 on mobile WAP Portal may be it is based on Nokia 6680 Chipset yes ofcourse a good assembled Phone…!

    If it is true than it is good for QT66 users that it has a branded chipset not a chinese scrap.

  22. Viru says:

    bro..stil m nt able to run wifi.. :(

    i read everybody comment on spice qt 66 please tell me about its battery backup and camera quality

    • Joe says:

      Dear, QT 66 is a pretty addition to the spice family. The battery life is good save for the fact that it is much shorter than the qt 55′s. The additional feature however make it a worthwhile purchase.
      The QT thatI purchased refused to restart. I am still seeking for solutions to have it fixed

  27. Imran says:

  30. Ishan says:

    Hi I have recently bought QT-66 as it has wi-fi.I am able tu rung application through wi-fi except Nimbuzz, but the moment i swtich to GPRS it doesnt work at all. I had Q5 earlier from Micromax. The GPRS used to run effectively on that. Though QT-66 is a carbon copy of Q5 all the fiunctions are also the same but still QT-66 is not able to enable the GPRS settings. Please Help!!!!

    • nitin patil says:

      my nimbuzz also doesnt connect to internet , but other applications can connect easily once u set up the data account and then set the correct network porfile in each application —
      you have to set maste or slave sim to use and the data account correspponding to that sim

  31. Sandeep says:

    Pooja its camera quality is good but video quality is bad & never any option for video calling

  32. Sandeep says:

    Rakesh in qt66 camera quality is good but battery backup is not so good but power saving option present in this mobile

  33. yogesh says:

    hii friends i recently bought spice QT-66 the phone is good one the pre loaded nimbuzz is nt working as that version does nt support the handset just go to nimbuzz.com and select model spice and s-60 or s-90 from the drop down menu to the system and transfer the file to the mobile via bluetooth and install it in the mobile it nimbuzz will work fine. spice does not take care to test its application before launching the product.and neither gets an update for the software by rectifying the mistakes which the users could upgrade from the internet.its pc suit which comes with the handset also does nt work properly.so spice kindly see thngs go fine if nt the left over brand image will also nt be to survive in the competitive mobile handset market.

  34. Binaya says:
