Nokia 6680 from United Kingdom - Comments

"Possibly one of the best consumer mobile phones for its design, technology and potential!"

What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?

Occasionally the operating system may freeze or crash like an ordinary home computer, and fail to respond.

When there is poor reception or signal from your location, the phone will drain all its battery power to try and find a signal. This results in a hot mobile and a dead battery.

General comments?

A great communication device for its 3G capability and blue-tooth connectivity to headsets and other phones.

Superb high definition picture quality from its 1.3 megapixel camera, shame about the night time quality in low light.

A great operating system; easy to use and compatible with a wide range of multimedia formats (jpg, gif, bmp, png, 3gp, mp4, mp3, mid, mmxf).

Great fun to make three way conference calls to your friends, even more fun playing 'hide and seek' with video calls.

Its design will always look new, even in the next 6 years.

If you don't mind your phone crashing, buy one, but I don't pay so much money for a phone that cannot open applications that even come pre loaded on it, such as picture editor. Or even having up graded memory card to 512mb for functions to be impaired or freeze, claiming insufficient memory even with over 400mb free. Potential for mass integration of the Symbian software possible, but get this right.

I have had it back to shop 3 times, which entitled me to exchange. The dealer had so many back that he offered me the value of a 6680 off another phone, as with all other users. Nokia has already replaced it with the N70 phone - abandoning a sinking ship perhaps?

It cannot handle excessive talking on phone (turns off or gets progressively quieter), and cannot handle large amounts of text messages.
