Good phone.

Pity about the orange.


I personally think the K750i would be a better buy, and then just buy the bigger memory card. The camera is better (possibly the best mobile phone camera out there today) and it doesn't look like an explosion in a Crayola factory.

I don't mind the orange... for a bill phone it'll cost me around €50... the K750i will cost me about 100 and the V800Live will cost me nothing... tough decision...
All will cost €30 line rental plus calls etc...

If you're not interested in 3G (which I assume you're not) then off you pop. If you are, then you either go for the 6680, who's camera isn't quite as good, it's almost as good, the MP3 capability is on a par IMO and it's got high speed data that gives you the interent anywhere. Er, at a cost.

I'm a big fan of 3G personally, but if you couldn't give a shite, the W800 is a good choice, can't go too far wrong.

With a Ericsson and Motorola thread, HBB, you must feel great!..

I have NO MP3 player, stuck with my 1980's discman and its a bollox to carry around everywhere... I'll have to pop into the local Vodafone shop to have a look.. The 6680 isn't featured on their website...

They definitely carry the 6680, it's a very good phone in my opinion and makes a damn good MP3 player(well actually, AAC is far better, but it supports that too). For example, a 512MB card can be bought on ebay for about 30 euro. That'll hold about 13 hours worth of good quality music.
On the other hand, that'll be included with the walkman one...


The Nokia also has a pretty handy operating system, so basically you can install a load of applications on it if you want. Scipi has one, ask him.

Fair enough, personal opinion, perfectly entitled to it.


The camera is good alright, it's even better when you use the settings properly.
