Yo yo yo... my brutha Brix... dude watz up with all this negativity to my boyz in Y'ello lala land over in Fair(y)land? You tink dose boyz dunno how ta hook up some free cable for da boyz in da hood? Yo dude day don't need no high flying shite like dem Johnickas niggas who who rat dem out when day sold dem out last year. Dem Johnickas niggas are no longer joining da party over in Fair(y)land.
Dude - Johnnic sold their shares in MTN more than a year ago to refocus their resources on publishing. Mnet or more specifically Mutil-don't have no bloody-Choice are plugging into both Vodafone live! supplying Supa-dupa-Sport, and now MTN.
And, my dear brutha... that's where all the colour's gone and that's why they're called Mutil-don't have no bloody-Choice!

Ok, my bad on the bit about Johnnic. One of the things that hooked me onto 3G was when I saw a demo a year ago where they showed off a live video stream of CNN...truly awesome. BTW how much would it cost to watch an hour of streaming video(data rates)?

@AYA Hey buddy,where are you from ? Isn't that a bit expensive to watch a movie on 3G ? At, let's say 240kbps = 30KByte which gives you 1.7Mbyte a minute or Rand 3.5 ! x 100 minutes for a movie lengt is 350Rand ! And all that on a 2inch screen ! I don't know.

LOL@mario... AYA is from Nigeria and he's got respect from me coz he kept this thread alive during the early days. On video streaming it's seems on the surface to be quite expensive.

Dudes... this is technology warrior shite... who cares about cost. The fact that I'm one of the first customers to be doing it is a good enough reason to pay a premium for accessing it. But that big head shite aside - these services are delivered by subscription. Don't think of it as WAP - it's not. The video app on a 3G cellphone links directly to a server. So, you pay a subscription fee instead of a per MB fee. This makes the whole speel so much better and cheaper. Hell no, no one can afford paying GPRS / 3G data rates for TV on your mobi.

Sorry for the late reply.
Here's my "review" of my 6680:
I took the phone off the 16-hour charge at about 10 am yesterday (16/06/05) and now 25 hours later I've dropped 1 bar out of 7 on my battery metre. And that's after tranferring all 20 Mb of my 3650's goodies across to the 6680 via Bluetooth, after 3 or 4 five-minute voice calls, and after over 1mb of surfing. So battery life looks good.
As for data, I was really impressed. I downloaded a 200kb game, and it took me just under 10 seconds. Can't give you accurate figures though.
The loudspeaker is a bit disappointing, and MP3's sound very crappy over it, but plug in the stereo headset (inclusive) and it's a whole different story.
Memory runs out very quickly. 64Mb + 10 Mb is not quite enough, and I can't use the 128 mb MMC that I used in my 3650 in the 6680, cos it's not reduced-size.
Camera and screen quality are really top-notch, but that's after being used to a VGA camera on a 4096-colour screen, so don't quote me on that, but I was impressed. The smooth 6x digital zoom is really good, and the flash is very bright.
I still haven't made a video-call as yet, cos I've got nobody to phone, so I'll hold back comment on that.
Overall, I'm pleased with my investment. But I will need to buy a higher capacity (I was about to say "bigger") RS-MMC soon, cos the 1.3 megapixel photos take up about 500 to 700 kb of space at a time.
Hope my "review" was helpful.
