While it may be true that the Nokia 6680 is more capable compared to its Symbian predecessors, it is certainly the slowest when it comes to menu and item navigation even when at its newest ROM upgrade. It may be on menus only that is sluggish, it is most annoying and certainly will drain your patience.

Hi there,

I've been using my 6682 for about 6 months now (on Cingular) and although I love the phone, it is extremely sluggish and slow (pressing a button, choosing a menu option, etc.). ALso, it freezes fairly frequently and I have to "reboot" (power off then on).

Anyone with similar issues? Do you think there might be a OS update to download?

[...] Now that I’ve got a phone I’ll be using for a while, I wanted to write an overview of the Symbian Series 60 apps I have on my phone, just like my popular post about the apps on my Nokia 6600 from January 1st, 2004. It’s not enough to just point back to my other post and simply do an update, because the 6680 uses a new version of the Symbian OS base (8.0a), and a new version of the Series 60 UI (v2, 2.6), many apps that I used before now don’t work and haven’t been updated. I know more and more people who have this phone (or the Nokia 6682 which is basically the same phone for the American market) and who are asking me about the phone and which apps to use, so this will be a the post to point to. I really think the Nokia 6680/6681/6682 series could be a breakout Series 60 phone for Nokia, especially here in the U.S. where we really haven’t had a Symbian phone that’s hit critical mass yet.

Specs are awesome for the US (EDGE, Triband 850Mhz, big screen, 1.3MP camera) However there is too little RAM to make full use of it as a smartphone. If you have a browser session open and want to take a picture, you have to close the browser session. Basically it's impossible to run any two or more substantial apps (Browser, eMail, Camera and other 3rd party) simultaneously as the phone has too little memory and apparently the Symbian S60 does not do automatic GC to free up memory. Instead what you get is an almost constant barrage of Out of Memory error.

[...] What if sultry Angelina Jolie and NFL’s King QB Tom Brady somehow found themselves in matrimonial bliss and that led to a genetic mash-up? Imagine the beauty and ruggedness and now apply that to two of the hottest cellphones from Nokia’s stable – the briskly selling 6680 and the ultra sleek Nokia 8800. What you get is Nokia N70, a hot 3G WCDMA/GSM phone from Nokia, that is surely going to be a sizzler for many months to come. N70 is part of the Nokia’s N-series premium phones that are supposed to be less phone, and more convergence devices. High end digital cameras, music players and video cameras are supposed to be selling points of these phones. [...]

One thing I’ve always wondered is why it is easier to make a phone that supports both 1800 and 1900 MHz than it is to make one that supports 800 and 900 MHz?

Psuedo-Trackback:

What we are interested in are the slider phones; the Nokia 6111, Nokia 6270 and Nokia 6280. It’s a little ironic that these phones were released one day after Om Malik wrote that Nokia’s “new line-up has a certain simple elegance to them, which allows the phones to be what they were meant to be: phones… I am frankly tired of new fangled designs – the slider or the rotate phone”

I’d say they still are pretty elegant… there are a couple of other things to note about the phones:

triband for world use. instead of 900 mHz it uses 850 MHz – the SVG graphics, I am not sure. i think you could check it on their website. i love the phone by the way :-)

Om,

Is this phone capable of displaying SVG graphics? When it is sold in the U.S. by Cingular, will be it be Triband or Quadband for worldwide use?
