Nokia 6680

This is a follow-up review on the Nokia 6680 phone. (See my previous review for more detailed info on the phone)

I've had this phone for more than 3 years now, and I'm still impressed.

It has gone through all sorts with me, has given me absolutely minimal hassles. To tell the truth, I have to realy think hard about where it has let me down.

Right now it's still one of my favourite phones.

It works well, feel good, is easy to carry and to handle, and for that which one gets with & on it, it's a good buy!

I am still quite happy to pick it up and take it with me wherever I go.

I know I don't have to make excuses for having a phone like this - it still looks good and draws attention - even though it's not the newest on the market!

I've upgraded to a touch-screen P1i since around a year ago, but I still really enjoy so much about this one that I can't see myself parting company with it any time soon.

To be honest it is a good smart phone but there are many things lacking when it goes up against today's normal mobiles

The Nokia 6680 is easy to use, reliable, classic style, really like real computer.

None

A great phone which I would recommend to anyone... two of mates saw mine and bought one.

I have now used the Nokia N6680 for a week and I haven't encounter any problems yet, even my colleague who also has this N6680, likes it and everyone says that Nokia is a friendly user which is true, because all my kids are using Nokia.

I like this mobile phone.

The Nokia 6680 has dual video-capable cameras, 3g, video calling, it has a Symbian operating system (v8), and it also has a hot-swappable RS-MMC slot.

The Nokia 6680 phone is packed with useful features, some of which I'm still getting to know / experience. The phone can be expanded far beyond my initial expectations. The phone was supplied with a 64MB card. This should have been larger, as I find that with the features of the phone which I use, I soon run out of memory, and then have to delete data (or transfer it to my PC). I use the phone as a mixture between a PDA and cellphone, and like to carry a fair amount of pdf, doc and other files with me. When working with xls files, I find that the screen is actually smaller than required, and this results in the phone not being able to present the details in an easily readable format / size. I am experimenting with resizing on the PC before transferring to the phone, to see if that will address the problem. I am still using the originally supplied quick-viewer programs, and it may well be that this is where the problem lies. I have noticed on the web that it is possible to obtain a program with which one can not only view, but also edit and create word, excel and PowerPoint documents on the phone - just unfortunate that the price is a bit high for me at this point in time!

It took me a few days to get the hang of the basics of the phone, but once that was mastered, I found that it can in fact be a very user friendly device.

I originally wanted to go for the Nokia 9500 Communicator, but the cost was just too high for me, and so I thought I'd settle for the 6680. I have since found that it has been a good choice, which I can recommend to others. I have also found that, amongst the people I've found to be using the device, the majority do not use most of the phone's features.

The Nokia 6680 will randomly stop accepting any incoming calls or texts and also not allow you to make any outgoing calls. After a restart, all goes back to full working order for a while. This has been extremely annoying and even dangerous as you are totally unaware that you are unobtainable in an emergency or when expecting an important call.

My wife and I have the Nokia 6680 from different suppliers but both on Vodafone. Both phones have had the random bug described above which continues even after a firmware update. I can't wait until next month when I am eligible for a free upgrade. If you need to use the multiple email account feature, do not use this phone on the '3' network as they add their own software which removes this feature, allowing only one account to be setup.

I have had my Nokia 6680 mobile phone for about 11 months now, and it has been a superb phone! It has survived literally hundreds of drops from varying heights onto concrete (I'm clumsy), resulting in all the trim missing, needed 2 new cases due to them cracking (the little chrome bezel around the front camera goes first) and the clear button came off the keypad.

Only once has the actual phone broken (kept turning off and on continuously), but I got annoyed and threw it a few times (really really hard, like 40 feet or so) left the battery out for a bit and it was good as new; possibly not recommended as a fix but, hey, it worked.

It has a few good features, such as easy transfer of files, and the camera is OK too. It has no games, but that wasn't much of a concern.

All in all, spot on and almost unbreakable.
