Good Day To All (Especially ppl from S'pore)
Just to share my experience for this phone. I have bought this phone about 1 week ago and guess what, is now inside the service centre due to:
1) Keypad doesn't have tone even I set it.
2) While deleting messages either from inbox/sent folder, the screen hangs.
3) When message was received, no tones sounded even when tones was set to.
Well, I do believe that all the above mentioned are due to some software problems which causes this, anyway hope that after 'servicing' this phone will be in its best form.
Last of all, so far the design is still the most outstanding as compared to others.

Hi Rone =)
it can use a bluetooth headset even if its not stereo, although the sound wont be good.
also be aware that there might be some bluetooth headset thats not capable of playing music and is only for voice calls. you just need to ask the sales representative if its capable of doing that. or read the box or check on the internet if it can do music too.

"WHOEVER" gave the suggestion about removing battery cover to put pressure on the SE logo area instead on the lower portion of the camera lens...

Thanks for the reply, I am thinking that I do not need a smartphone. The only thing I install are games.
For data I need 3G so I can use my laptop with my phone as a modem so K750/W800 are out or the equation.

How about K750/W800? I read that their battery life are more than average and goed camera (2 Mpx).
I think you don't need smartphone.

I have one reason for disliking this phone and that it has made my decision of what phone to upgrade too very difficult.
Had decided on the N80 after having a 6680 for a year but the battery life is frustrating on the 6680, espically if I forget to charge it every night as I usually findmyself with a flat battery mid afternoon on the second day. The N80 being worse of course put me off.
I will admit that I will miss some features of the S60 OS, the copy and paste key is great and very useful (unless the K800 has this facility) and active standby was useful for keeping my life in order.
Though I am not keen on the slide layout and I can see myself dropping the phone as it is top heavy when open and it may have WLAN and lots of things the K800 doesn't have but I am not sure if this will be a problem.
In which case I am looking at the K800 over the N80, for those people who have used both hopefully you can advise if this seems a suitable choice.
Basically I use my phone for personal and business use, use mainily minuites and can talk upto 3 hours in a day of I am busy. I like having contacts with multiple numbers for office, fax, mobile etc. Th eonly real smartphone feature I used on the 6680 was the calender on the active desktop but I managed without for several years. Email I can access via a wap site and my calender is online as I do not use Outlook. I do however use my mobile as a modem a lot which is probally why I don't use the smartphone functions as I have a laptop for word/excel/email etc.
Don't really take many pictures except for the odd one but when I go on holiday just one device would be useful but my 6680 is ok, appart from at night.
Also voice dialing, anybody got experiance of the K800. The 6680 is terrible, like the idea of the virtual tags of the N80 as I liked that on the V3i but to be honest I only ring a handful of people when I am on handsfree so not too hard to program tags but the 6680 is nowhere near as good as the 6310i was and I find myself having to say the tag 5 or 6 times.
Any advice would be useful as I am confused at the moment, thought about the N73 to avoide slide but again poorish battery life and not too keen on the looks.

I think, its easier pulling it out by putting pressure on the SE logo area rather than the area where we think the lock is located. ( right below the lens cover.

Hello Joni =)
Hello BOng =)
yeah i figured that its normal with the M2.
anyways, I wont bother myself about that. thanks!
I have 1 question for you guys though...
are you having a hard time opening the battery cover? i really cant open it and its so hard. My finger needs to be sticky to open it. I even have to use a rubber or like rubber gloves or rubber thing to put in my thumb so it wont slip so i can open it.
any techniques you guys have on opening it?

Owen, thanks for clearing up some of the K800 bugs. About the memory loss on your M2, it's totally normal for any memory stick. My 1gb M2 losses 100mb of space (1000mb->900mb), that's double the loss for double the total amount of space. Even a 20gb iPod only has 18.5gb of actual space.

Just continue. Its fine. the slot is like those in 6630s of nokias. it wont break. just Hold your fone with screen facing you.just use your finger nails. on the small slot, pull it out ensuring force is applied from the bottom of the M2 lock cover because the lies right on top of it. hope i have described it properly. May i know where is your handset made? mine is made in CHINA? its found inside the battery slot. thanks.

The phone comes with about 70mb of internal memory. Thats enough for 100+ photos on the highest quality setting. This is pretty good but if you want Mp3s then you will need to get an M2 card. The screen is AMAZING. Bright, and clear. Good battery life about 4 days with average use.
