Hi Simon. Yep had one for almost 3 weeks now. It worked straight out of the box, once charged & registered. It might sound funny saying that but
it more than could be said for the 6680 (took 4 to get a working properly one  ) it replaced.
Get a 2 gig memory card for it (£11+p&p from amazon) and you are away. If you are careful who you get it from some of the suppliers leave the
walkie talkie feature active (orange don't  ) All the functions work fine on mine (not sorted out or tried the GPS yet) music is fine,
photo's are great (Stoneleigh pics in archive), Video is ok, Bar code reader works fine as well (YES BAR CODE READER). WiFi works great as does
WAP (posting on luego section from Stoneleigh).
The list of 'it does' goes on & on.
Oh and it works great as a phone.
My boss's son upgraded his as soon as he saw mine & he seems happy as well.

You have to charge it every day which can be a bind though!! And i mean every day, it only lasts 1/2 a day if you use it as a phone.

Between 2 & 3 days on one charge and a week out of the Jabra bluetooth headset.
Personally I don't see a problem with charging cos you get a mains charger and you can also get car chargers dirt cheap.
The worst I had was just over 1 day but I was listening to my selection of Albums non stop all of one of those days.
As with all things, if you use it then it uses battery.

Listening to Radio 4 this morning & people complaining that Vodaphone & Orange (& probably a few others) disable the voip function so you
can't skype directly from the phone thereby avoiding their rip off charges. Oh these naughty phone companies LOL.

I had the old version of this phone and wasn't too impressed. Only gave me a day of battery life and the slider was a bit temperamental. Gone
back to sony ericsson as it gives me 1 WEEK of battery and is hard as nails. I'm past all the bells and whistles, I just need a phone that
calls, texts and takes photos.

Amen to that!!!!
Much the same here, now slightly ruing the day when I chopped my old nokia in for an N70 cos the batteries were nacked on the old one.....
They last less time on the N70, and while its a great phone, not as tough as the old one!!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

If you use the phone for what it is supposed to be used for i.e talking to people you will have to charge in under a day, if not then you may get
longer; it definately has a thirst for power. If you want a phone to keep up with the jones's then yes its perfect everything you'll ever
want, suppose Nokia will bring out a higher output battery soon so we'll have to wait and see.
