Last week got myself a new phone...3G Nokia 6680...cost me RM1500...and you know what it's not an authorised set...they called it an AP sets whatever that means...I mean what do i care...rite ??? wrong...i found out that an authorised set (normally here they call it Zitron sets coz that's the authorised distributor) will cost several hundreds ringgit more than AP sets...okay so i don't really care infact i should be extremely happy coz i paid less for the same thing....well yes and no...yes i got it cheap and no i did not get the same...

What i mean is i do get the whole package like everybody else but the f****** manual is in Finnish or Dutch or German, whichever it is i don't know. It seems they had imported the set directly from Finland and did not bother to change the contents of the package...lucky the cd is in English and i'm able to download the english version of the manual from the website if not i would have to take language classes just to learn how to use the phone....

Thats not all, even though the phone is covered with a year warranty just like the authorised set, you could not expect to walk into any Nokia Service Centre and get your phone service for free...only authorised set get that...AP sets you will be charge a min fee...how do I know ?B'coz I tried to get my phone flash with a new firmware so they said they have to charge RM40 for that...ok I don't mind that as long I can my phone updated to the latest firmware so I can run more software but to my annoy...their latest firm is only ver3.05 whereas the actual latest firmware is ver4.04...when i asked why they said "minta maaf la En, kitorang guna apa yang KL hantar so sekarang yg ada cuma ni".....i'm not gonna pay RM40 for an old shit....

Anyway.....except for the complaints I had above....the phone is performing very well...though sometime it's a bit slow (due to slower processor or memory i think, 6630 has the fastest processor but the N series could have better) but it can run/do almost everything except getting me a "roti canai". It comes with 2 cameras...1.3megapixel for the back camera and VGA camera for the front. Quality not too bad as u can see here....a pic of one of my many friends...yes I know he look a like he got a screw loose somewhere.....but he still a friend














Running Symbian OS V8.0...on series 60 platform. Comes standard with 64MB dv rs-mmc but I upgrade to a 256MB mmc coz I need the space for my MP3s and softwares...in fact I'm already thinking of getting a 512MB or probably a 1GB mmc. User interface is friendly...which I believe the best trait of any Nokia phones....I have not tried the 3G capabilities though so can't comment on that...all in all I'm very pleased with the acquisition.

Right now...i'm on the experimenting mode...testing all the software or modding i can find on the net...will probably update the findings here....stay tuned...
