Nokia 6680 Smartphone

I gave it 4 stars because it does the job intended. Early smartphone with all you need to get through your working day with simplicity in mind, Yeah It's a bit chunky but at the same time you feel like you are holding a robust ish phone. I needed it as work phone something that I wasn't scared of getting scratched and lobbed about in my bag. Tech has moved on so much so comparing it wit today's smart phones, well there is no comparisson really, but at least it does the job.. battery life not fantastic lasts for 1 day with normal usage. All in all great phone for those who are not bothered about keeping up with the Jone's.

I have had this phone for two weeks on a contract and I must say I am sorely dissappointed. It frequently goes pearshape. It freezes up and I cannot access the menu, or switch it off which is a real pain. I am beginning to think I should of stuck with the Nokia 1100. I would not recommend this phone to anyone at all. I have always had Nokia phones, and so far this is the only dissappointment I have had. It states 1-10 for user friendliness also. The manual is also rubbish as you cannot find anything in it. Also, it is not compact enough. Seriously thinking of getting another 1100, and putting this phone into retirement.

There's not much this little fellah can't do, outside of gently waking you up each day with some gentle music and a nice hot cup of coffee, and even that it can nearly do - it can wake you up and supply the music, just not the coffee.However, I'm a fairly no-nonsense business user. I couldn't give a hoot about ring tones, or MP3 functionality, or video calls, or having the Microsoft Office suite on board - I need a phone which is reliable, easy to use, and sturdy. Admittedly, having a camera is a nice extra. The rest is, in my mind, youthful dalliance. You might ask why I opted for this phone. In truth, I ask myself that question fairly regularly, too.Nokia has given this phone a new user interface - I suppose intended to be an improvement over the traditional Nokia one, but it is remarkably counter-intuitive, and in some cases just doesn't work.* For the life of me, I can't find a way of bulk deleting text messages on the phone itself, and deleting them one-by-one seems to require at least three keystrokes per message. Now it's true one could use the PC interface to do this but, frankly, I can never be bothered to sync to the PC, so this isn't a hassle-free option.* The configuration of the buttons means it is very easy to accidentally call someone when the phone is knocking around in my bag. This happens to me about once a week, and it’s usually embarrassing – like when I’m singing along to my iPod or something. Yes, I know, I should lock my keypad, and most of the time I do, but it's a fact of life that I don't always. I have never had this problem with previous Nokia phones (I've owned about seven different models).* The camera is high resolution, but it isn't high enough. It seems to me you either go the whole hog and have genuine 3 megapixel+ digital camera, or you may as well have the blurry old images from the trusty old 6230 which, I have to say, remains for me my favourite Nokia phone.* This is the critical one – the phone’s reception just isn't that great. I frequently find I am unable to make calls around my home, in suburban London. I never had that trouble with the 6230. Given I haven’t switched networks, I can only attribute this to the phone.* Also, it's very plasticky - I've had it maybe three months now, but I don't fancy its chances of surviving another nine until my contract is up. I’m tough on my phone.I guess we're stuck in an age where the heavy-use, content-added superconsumer drives mobile phone design, and the superconsumers are brainless teenagers, but for me, the perfect mobile phone design would be one which accentuated sturdiness and sound quality: give me a 6230-shaped model with a decent camera, hard-tail aluminium construction and decently-specified audio componentry which would last for ten years, and I might never buy a phone again.Chances of that happening, in this age of disposable consumerism?

It's perfect ! Thank you very much !

I had Nokia 6680 in 2006 -2008. My first full color screen.USB data via Internet. First phone to offer Front camera. Video calls. Supported 1GB MMCGreat phone up til 2010. Opera Browser runs excellent. Good times.

Had this phone for over 2 years and it has proved very reliable. I replaced it after 2 years cause I got an upgrade but it was still in excellent condition. It's battery died 4 years after I got it but tested it with a new battery and still going strong.

When I first saw this phone, I expected great things. It looks great, and Nokia have a brilliant reputation. I have had this phone for four months now, and I am dissapointed. The features this phone offers are brilliant, theres no doubting that, but it freezes all the time when sending texts and the only way I can turn it off is by taking the battery out. This is really starting to annoy me. It is also very slow to turn the phone on, and to load up the menus. Most of the type the phone will not send a text, and then the whole phone will crash. I am very dissapointed.

It's a great looking phone that is packed with features but it is not the most intuitive phone to navigate around function-wise.The manual doesn't always use the same name for the menu items either which can be confusing.However, it's a smart 3G phone that has everything you need for normal use and for the clever multimedia stuff that you may wish to do.A front AND rear camera with flash are useful if you like your photography.In short, it's a cracking phone but be sure to read the manual!
