Has anyone or is anyone thinking of buying the 6680?

If so, then can you please report how good the phone really is?

I am thinking of buying it but I already have 5 mobiles so really I should't be so greedy. But it seems so tempting with all its new and advanced functions!!!

    If it's anything like the 6630 then it isn't very good, i chose a SE S700i over the 6630.

    It looks like a good phone though.

    and do you need 6 phones ?

    I am just a gadget freak....

    I am thinking of buying it on the H3G network as it is cheaper with them, and then hopefully onlocking it for free as almost all nokias can be unlocked free

    I think there is problems unlocking the 6630, but i dunno if the 6680 is the same or not.

    anyway let us know what it's like if you do get it.

    Had a look at one today - had to say it was a let down after all the hype :(

    The screen wasn't really any better than the 6600 in my opinion. Camera looked pretty good tho with a nice smooth zoom.

    ^^^6680 has a few software problems, i'd suggest waiting up for a few. Quality phone in concept but it depends on your taste. i'm happy with my s700i though it's mashed up twice now with software problems. either way, you're covered by nokia on brand new handsets for any muck ups so its your call...

    Used to work for two different Telco's ;)

    Saw the 6680 in a regular CPW store today... cheekily suggested that they should be able to match OSPS being as they're all one big happy family these days - no joy :(

    Think i might be tempted to wait for the Nokia N90
