TheNokia 6680 is a high-end3Gmobile phone runningSymbian operating system, withSeries 60 2nd Editionuser interface. It was announced on 14 February 2005,[1] and was released the next month. The 6680 was Nokia's first device with a front camera, and was specifically marketed forvideo calling. It was also Nokia's first with a cameraflash. It was the forerunner of theNseries, which was released in April 2005; its successor being theN70.
The device featuresBluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel fixed-focus camera, front VGA (0.3-megapixel) video call camera, hot swappable Dual Voltage Reduced SizeMMC (DV-RS-MMC) memory expansion card support, stereo audio playback and a 2.1", 176x208, 18-bit (262,144) color display with automatic brightness control based on the environment.
The 6680 is marketed as a high-end3G device. It is a smartphone offering office and personal management facilities, includingMicrosoft Office compatible software. The phone initially offered an innovative active standby mode, but this was removed by some network operators (for example,Orange) under their own adapted firmware. The phone, however, has been marred by a more-than-normal number of bugs, which have included crashes and security issues. The phone was also criticised in some reviews for the relatively limited amount of RAM, with Steve Litchfield ofAll About Symbian unfavourably comparing the 6680 to the otherwise similarly-equipped N70, which had significantly more RAM available for applications and games.[2]
In addition to the standard RS-MMC card, the 6680 can also use Dual Voltage Reduced Size MMC (DV-RS-MMC) cards which are also marketed as MMCmobile. While these cards have the same form factor as RS-MMC, the DV-RS-MMC have a 2nd row of connectors on the bottom.
The phone operates onGSM 900/1800/1900, andUMTS 2100 on 3G networks.
During its development, the 6680 was codenamed Milla.
This handset was similar to its predecessor, the Nokia 6630. Key changes were the new "active standby" feature, the facility for face-to-face video calls, a camera flash, better screen and improved styling.
The hardware application platform of this device isOMAP 1710.
The Nokia 6681 and Nokia 6682 are GSM handsets byNokia, running theSeries 60 user interface on theSymbian operating system. The phones are GSM-only versions of the Nokia 6680.
The only difference between the 6681 and the 6682 is the fact that the 6681 is targeted at the European market, being a GSM 900/1800/1900 tri-band handset, while the 6682 is sold for North American networks, supporting 850/1800/1900 frequencies.
In turn, both handset's specs are almost identical to those of the 6680, except for the lack of support for 3G networks, which means no UMTS support, or video call, thus the absence of the front video call camera.
