Ohh, I am glad I waited and have not bought the N6680 yet....
The N70 is just around the corner, is much much smaller than both the
6680/6630 and has a much more professional look (business/steel),
it has Stereo FM (Visual) Radio in addition to Stereo Mp3, it also has
35Mb built in memory compared to 10Mb on the 6680/6630, and
of course (yes I know Megapixels isn't everything, lens also matters, but..)
it has a 2Mpxiel camera compared to the 1.3 on the 6680/6630..
Although I do not know, but I would assume the N70 has at least
the same if not faster CPU as the 6680/6630...
And I feel sorry for you who just bought the N6680! Or should I not??
What do you think? I mean is it worth the extra wait??

well, the idea is advancement isn't it, so its not surprising that these phones have come along...personally, i don't like the look of any of the three...all of which, in my opinion are ugly...and don't feel sorry for people who bought the 6680/6630..they are excellent handsets...if we all waited for the "best" handset from nokia, we'd be waiting forever...give it a couple of months, there will be another 3 or 4 handsets from nokia that will, no doubt, be better than the handsets recently announced...comparing these phones individual elements (the camera for instance) is also a moot point..inevitably things are going to be better..thats the idea...i'm happy with my 6630..period..and won't be upgrading to one of the above just because they are "better"... 😊

I am in the same position as you and was going to get the 6680(even though i
was not happy with the round controller pad). :frown:
But now that the N70 is coming out (the good Lord has heard my prayers 😊 ) It's an even better phone and looks more professional.It is also smaller,has a better camera,hopefuly a better flash(to be confirmed),and an FM radio. :tongue:
I personaly will try to control myself and wait until it comes out and buy it instead of the 6680. 😉
N70 is expected the 3rd quater = September at the earliest.
Personally I'll take the 6680 now and enjoy it for 5-6 months, then e-bay it 😊
I'm very happy with my 6630 whitch I've got a week ago and won't change it for at least next 6 months. Then, when N70 will be out for a couple of months I'll think about getting it. And the prices won't be that crazy as they are when the device comes out.
The N70 looks very nice. I love the metal finish and blue lighting.
i prefer the n90...wicked...

1Q=jan-march
2Q=apr-june
3Q=jul-sept
4Q=oct-dec
according to my calculations 3rd quarter is from july to september, hence
saying september at the earliest is a bit harsh! 😊
September at the latest makes more sense, and i am hoping for late july
beginning of august, which means 3-4 months, and not a half year.. 😊
The problem is, although phone manufacturers, in this case Nokia,
most times do distribute the phones on the specific Quarter they
announce, mobile phone networks never sell these immediately
as they want to clear the stock of older models.
Such as in the case of 6630; it was said it would have
been released on Q4; it was available on Vodafone UK
towards the end of that, and on most other networks on Q1
of the following year.
One can always buy a retail version before operators are ready to release their versions. The phone might be more expensive that way, but at least you're free to switch operators any time (pre-paid or post-paid) and not be bound by contract to any one for a year or two.
Hi! ...
Well... N70 will be my next phone 😊
here you have a link to very nice pics of the device and some
examples taken with the N70 ... really nice good camera pictures quality now...

Cya!
😎
What is the screen size on these N-Series phones in comparison with the 6630? If its the same or bigger then i think N-70 will be my new phone.

6680 was due for release in first quarter, but finally started to appear in sim free in retail mid April, its now May half way through the second quarter and the 6680 is still not available on all networks.
If it follows this pattern the N70 will be available in early October/November
we will see that when will some of the N series models available... but iam really afraid that N90,or which one is equipped with 4GB HDD the battery life will be terrible 😃
I just got my N70 phone and it is awesome!!!!!! I tried the 6680 before and let me tell you N70 is superior, I would recommend to you people that are about to buy a phone, decide by the Nokia N70 is very fast, the camera is very good and also I have to mention the internal memory... friends I think N70 is better than 6680 and 6630 (these two are real good phones... but..)... Regards.
I'm in the US and while I can get the newer Nokia phones (like the N70) via eBay or other various sites (for quite a large sum of $$$) I would usually wait till its out on retail for rebates and such. The main problem is that the US is always far behind the european releases.....and the 6682 only just recently came out for retail a couple months ago in the US....then got pulled off due to lots of technical problems and was just posted back for sales last week. I would love to get my hands on an N70...but i wont expect that to get here until the end of the year....and since my recent 6620 just crapped out on me...I went ahead and got 6682 for now....which I must say is a pretty nice upgrade from the 6620.
how about the batt life ? is 6680 better ? i guess so...
From what I understand, the 6680 chugs more power than the 6600 and 6620....so you would think the battery life is less on it, but since nokia added the light sensor to it, which adjust the screen light and keypad lights according the ambient lighting, it ends up using less batter power. I just got my 6680 four days ago....and after heavy bluetooth and gamming usage, its finnally dropped a bar in the battery status....but as with all series 60 phones...when one bar goes...the others arent too far behind.
But otherwise, it does seem to last longer than the 6620...
I'm sorry for those who bought the N70 as N80 will be releasing soon. Seriously, love your own phone man. Technology will not stop and rapidly going. What if you got a better phone? It's just a matter of time before another one with spectacular features will be announced

Hi guys,
I got my 6680 with some superb deal here 2 months ago.
My previous phone was a 6100 and before that a 6310.
It's a whole new world for me.
I dont really have high expectations of a phone... but the 6680 surpasses them all.
I can feel my life is better organized now 😃
A colleague of mine has now the N70.. it is indeed nice... but I preffer mine.
I really love my phone and don't really care for another at the moment. I still discover new functions everyday 😊
