Samsung a680 review from Canada
"Hands down, the best phone Bell Mobility currently offers"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
Nothing.
General comments?
The battery life is fine. It's average.
The camera is top quality for the technology currently out, without going to megapixal camera phones. It also takes video clips with sound, which can be nice for making your own video screen savers, should you decide to do so.
Voice quality is good, and is typical of CDMA service.
Ringing is sufficiently loud. I use it as an alarm clock often. However, the vibration is lacking compared to a larger phone.
Outside colour screen is very useful and acts as a mirror when not emitting light.
The coice recognition is amazing. No need to train the phone for each entry - it reads them phonetically with excellent accuracy.
Overall, it has an excellent and extensive feature set.
A seakerphone would be welcome, in addition to some other minor features.
