From what I can tell from looking at the specs online, the Nokia 1661 has "any key answer" as a feature, but how do you turn that function on or off?

If the Nokia 1661 does have it listed as a feature, it should be in your menu under "Settings". Either under the "Call" menu, or the Phone" settings menu.

I didn't see it listed on the Nokia site though.

It's true that Nokia does not specify this feature, and it does not seem to be anywhere in the Settings menu, but for some reason several online sites advertising the 1661 do claim that it has Any Key Answer. I found those sites by Googling "nokia 1661" and "any key answer." I will have to assume they are simply mistaken. Unless there are other versions of the 1661 in other parts of the world. It would have been nice to have that feature, especially with those tiny buttons and my less than superhuman dexterity. In the time that it sometimes takes to reach for a ringing phone a call can be missed, and being able to just squeeze anywhere the moment you have your hand on it can make a crucial difference.

I know. When I google Nokia 1208 (the phone I have), any key answer comes up as a feature on my phone as well. However, the 1208 does not have the any key answer setting at all.

I have an older phone (Nokia 3120) and the any key answer option is under the "Call Settings" menu, so I would think that if another Nokia phone does have that feature, it would be found in that menu as well.
