Nokia 6680

Wednesday September 07, 2005

Nokia’s offering feels large but is quite small
for a 3G phone. It also sports a second
self-portrait camera though this is for
video calls. Pictures can be usefully stored on a
side-mounted Mini SD card.

Small for a 3G compatible phone is a plus, but a camera replacement this phone is not.

User Rating:

Though bulky, we liked the fast refresh rate of the big screen which was slightly better than others on show. Navigation and BlueTooth dissemination is well laid out and using the camera is great.

Colours in our outdoor shots were good, though even well-lit scenes came back blurred more often than not. This worsened noticeably as things got darker where even the ‘flash’ couldn’t help sharpen the focussing. The self-portrait camera, offers a noticeable increase in grain but wouldn’t be used normally. Ultimately, while it’s a good phone, it’s no real camera replacement compared to the Sony Ericsson.
