Which is the better Nokia Phone 6680 or 6280?

Also are they both symbian?

Anything else I should note?


Thanks

Depends what you want to use it for. Applications etc e.g Tom Tom.

The N6680 is Symbian, the 6280 is not.

I have been using N 6680 for the past three months.

Before I upgraded the firmware:
Positive sides:
1. Excellent speakerphone feature. The speaker's voice is clearly heard
by the receiver.
2. Excellent organizer software which can be synchronized with your PC.
3. You can install additional S60 application to fulfill your personal
requirement.
4. Features rich.

Negative sides:
1. Basic alarm.
2. It plays MP3 but the sound quality is poor even if I use its earphone.
3. Sluggish (typical of a symbian phone) - not responsive
4. Prone to crash.
5. Button 2 is too closed to the Navigation button.
6. Camera won't work as expected. It keeps on complaining of low memory.
7. No infrared.
8. No FM radio!

I downloaded Nokia Updater software from Nokia UK website and updated my
phone's firmware myself through the Internet. After I upgraded its
firmware from v4.04.07 to v5.04.07 15-02-06 RM-36:
1. The phone is slightly more responsive (I think).
2. No more 'low memory' error.
3. It will just restarted itself when it crashed. Rebooting time is less
than a minute. Fine for me.
4. It works perfectly as expected until today.

One more thing:
Before upgrading the firmware, the font is too small for my eyes. Now,
the font is big and easy to read!

If you want the phone for applications the 6680 is a nice phone and does
OK but it severely lacks internal RAM. The meagre 10 Meg. is quickly
chewed up. My Nokia 6680 regularly grinds to a halt, freezes or reboots
because of it.

I would suggest having a look at the N70 instead.
