    2) Menu screen. Comrehensive, but not very user friendly.
    3) Camera. Excellent. Takes v.good pictures.

    Never had a 6680 so no idea - The quoted size for a 6680 is TFT - 176x208
    pixels
    and for the N80 is Active matrix colour display 352x416 pixels - the N80
    screen is the best I have seen on a phone - the physical size according to
    my tape measure is 3.5cm wide x 4.5cm high (approx)

    Guys, just out of interest, how are you finding battery life on this handset
    so far?

    Its actually easier than I thought it would be - also I have one of these

    http://www.thinkoutside.com/products...t_product.html

    for "serious" web sessions - works Ok with the N80 on board wireless
    drivers.

    Not able to comment so far, as i've not really used it yet. But fromt he
    reviews i've read of the N80, battery life would appear to be it's one major
    weakness.

    Switch on the Bluetooth and that will really kill the battery in no time if
    its anything like other Nokias I have tried.

    That's the same for both BT phones that I've used (Sony) Ericsson.

    WiFi is even worse for battery life.

    No, nowhere near 'nuff said.

    Does it connect if the SSID is hidden?
    What speed does it connect at?
    How is it with borderline signals or where there's conflicting channels?
    How abysmal's the battery life with WiFi turned on?

    <chortle>
    My 9300i synchs FAR better with Outlook over BT than my SPV M2000/HTC
    BlueAngel did.

    hang on,
    i was about to ask the same question. i need *really good* outlook
    calendar synch and only windows mobile seems to do the job out of the
    handsets i've used so far: series 60, SE P800 etc. my Orange SPV C500's
    the only one that's totally usable (synchs notes in calendar items, full
    text etc). it's the one thing that's really tying me to Windows Mobile
    (apart from TomTom and that runs on Nokia).
    can the OP comment on how good the synch is? do you get all details in
    calendar, and does it autosynch up as nicely as with activesync?

    cheers

    Yes it connects with a hidden SSID, and can cope with WEP, not sure
    about WPA offhand. It connects at up to 54mb (g), not too bad with
    signal strength, goes about the same as my laptop, and yes it does have
    negative impact on the battery but haven't worked out quite how bad it
    is yet!
