mcclim

Wa sin the orange shop today looking for an upgrade, the sales person gave me the choice of either a nokia 6680 or a SPV C550, does anybody have either of these, if so can you give me some sort of recommendation on which you think is best ?

Thanks,

Go for SPV M8..It is a PDA Phone with great features..

I'm really tempted with it, plus it comes with a 512MB memory card... just don't know what to go for at the moment...

i have just got the spv 550 (on tuesday) and it is brilliant - loads of features on it like windows media player 10 (so you can download music n videos from your computer) picture quality is excellent too for a mobile phone. only thing i cant master yet is sending picture messages to other people tried it but it wont work

Sending picture messages should be easy. Just a question of selecting picture needed and clicking send. then you should be taken to next menu to chose recipient. If this is not happening your settings may not be enabled. mine were not when i received this phone, and a quick call to Orange sorted things immediately.

Isn't the 550 about to be replaced by the 600?
The n6680 is 3G if you have any interest in such things - for most people it just means the battery life is worse.

Indeed, hopefully released by orange before the new year!

Nokia are also releasing (at the start of Nov.) the N70 which is an improvement over the 6680 (2mp camera for a start)

I've got the N6680 and have to say the battery charge is very short. I've only had the phone three weeks but they changed the battery for me last week foc as it was lasting just 48 hours and I had hardly used it. I don't use the G3 function or many of the others come ot that just wanted a new phone with a larger screen and they offered me this as the SE w800i wasn't in stock.

I've spent ages over the weekend working it all out and although I hadn't been pretty impressed by it I seem to hav got the hang of it. the most annoying thing though is you cannot transfer your contacts over unless you have another Nokia 6 series! Really annoying. Put the clock back a few weeks and I probably wouldn't have the same phone because I like a longer battery charge.
