Mobile-review have posted their review of the Nokia 6555. Here is the final impression.

Impressions
The volume of the 6555’s polyphony is high enough to make sure you will hear it in various environments. While it sounds a tad muffled as opposed to phones enjoying two speakers, the Nokia 6555 is still loud enough. The reception quality was never an issue with the handset either. The vibro alert is average strength-wise, but it does the job even if the phone is stuffed inside a pocket.

The 6555 has no direct competition, for its price/quality ratio leaves much to be desired. It is rather a niche solution for those who will fall for its fancy design and neat clock on the front. The phone has no crucial drawbacks and nor does it pack in any bells and whistles. The bottom line on the 6555 is this: an entry-level solution that, due to certain circumstances, retails for not-so-entry-level money. With its price tag of 250-280 USD it can’t stand up even to Nokia’s own products, like the 6131 and the 6267. By the way, the Nokia 6555 doesn’t come packaged with a headset or memory card, which will set back the end-user even more. All up, if you are not keen on its looks, then there is no particular reason why you should go for it.
