MattR32 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Tried to find another thread to add to but failed. Anyway, it's upgrade time - Must be Nokia. Is the 6680 any good? Looks okay to me but not 100% sure on reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm Chris Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Nokia are sh1te, Sony Ericsson are far better (and the batteries actually last more than a week). Cool camera, big screens, easy menu's (once you un learn the Nokia techniques), video, MP3, picture calling, exception lists (ace idea!)- better by far.

Chav Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Nokia are sh1te, Sony Ericsson are far better [/ QUOTE ] In your opinion of course! It's a subjective thing, but I hate these new phones that look flash but something as basic as displaying the contacts list takes 2 seconds. e.g CPU power too slow to feed the graphic chip.

However, as your on your upgrade i would recommend the N70(my gf has one after my recommendation ), as it is essentially a 6680 with better styling, better resolution camera and better menu layouts! Also, if your willing to sacrifice the nokia name, the K750 is an excellent choice and if you like the walkman feature the W800 is also suitable! Extra note: if your the sort of person who wants the very latest in technology, id recommend you wait a bit and get the N80, it is the next logical upgrade to the N70 however as you would probably be getting it as soon as its released .. expect to have 2 pay a lil extra hope that helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] how comes?? my dad has had that since umm well november at least He took it to india when we went and dropped it on numerous occasions (i think me and him suffer from "dropyafoneitis") and he has had no problems? On his previous 8850/8910i he suffered screen problems and i think at one point the speaker had broke or something? And my 8210 had screen problems ( which was a common fault with that phone) However these problems only occured after a year or so of use. If you want a truely indestructable phone your best bet would be one that probably does not have changeable fascias etc as these do get loose over time and allow dust in which then causes further problems!

fjfr Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 The camera stopped working, the phone turned itself off randomly. Then, the screen broke after 3 months of being looked after. Screen replaced. Next day, michrophone & charge broke. Nokia will not repair it due to an 'unauthorised reparair' i.e. a lie to the customer It is currently having a 'second opinion' I've had loads of Nokia's, and they've all been shite (along with Nokia customer service). Sony Erricson or Samsung are good IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriGGa Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 holy feck! thats real bad! luckily enough i've never had that experience but i guess if i had i wouuld agree nokia is not the way forward! I guess im lucky 'cos i have an authorised repair centre just round the corner and i have a pretty good relationship with them ( have a habit of changing phones every now and again with which they like to play about with) judging by Mastras determined nokia vote i guess he has had a good experience and so wish him every luck! would love to know wot he gets in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair_A3 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Id go for a Sony Ericsson K750i. Ive got nothing but praise for mine, simply brilliant fone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjfr Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Agree with that Alistair. I had one before the 8800, but I gave it to my mum who lost it TriGGa: The service centre is pretty good - the phone was sent off to Nokia UK on two occasions & it's Nokia UK I have an issue with. Nice looking phone tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to try and stuff Orange on upgrade ccsts - Ringing for the "pack number" and saying you are leaving is a VERY good way of getting them to drop their pants and give a good upgrade cost. Mines through my company and we have a good credit rating (and pay them on time) so should be able to wangle one free (we are on their band 5 rating - i.e. spend too much but pay on time).

Excellent phone with a lot of toys - camera, MP3, radio etc and with Opera Mini will hook up well to the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattR32 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Highly dull (as usual) but I was being offered crap deals through Orange - Had to be 18 month contract, had to pay a load for the N70, etc -to upgrade (via the company) so asked for the pack number (meaning you want to leave), spoke to a customer retention guy and they quite literally dropped their mobile pants. Doubled my talk time (for less money), chucked in a stack of texts for free and gave me a Nokia N70 (for free on a 12 month contract- Yee haa! It pays to be a moaning tw4t!

neo283 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I've always sworn by Nokia. My current one has been bomb proof all the way through. So much so, I'm thinking of upgrading handsets and selling the upgrade for a canny profit. Not sure which handset to choose though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
