Someone sad the 6630 has 'problems' . I read nokia forums up and down the net and I never come upon a major 6630 problem. Yes it sometimes 'crashes' just like a pc when incompatible/untested software is used together (just like windows) simply because there are 1000's of programs out there which obviously can never be tested together ! The only (major) problem I could found with any cellphone out there,is the O2 branded k750i.(look on esato forum) o2 have stopped shipping the cells because of this and 'se' took a dive in the 2-quarter (profits dropped well below 100million dollar ! ) No company can afford to bring out a buggy cell thous days.

@ mario,
Beside esato forums,what others have you read? I can try trace my pc's history to find the forums on 6630 probs that I perused when I'm back in the UK.Have you also tried Mobileburn?
Secondly,and this is only what I am told,Carphonewarehouse staff at London's Gallions Reach and East Ham,as well as The Link in Barking,Essex, all told me that they had many customers returning 6630's due to f/w glitches. Now, if you want,I can try get more specific info when I'm back there,albeit not much interest to me. It is perhaps not fair for me to personally comment on the phone, as I have not owned one and if you deem it that they are OK,then that's fine. However, with 3 different shops telling me similar stories earlier this year,there seems to be enough 'smoke' to warn of possible 'fire'...
Having said that,perhaps f/w updates have sorted these probs out since I enquired much earlier this year.
Lastly,I can think of more SE handsets that had bugs upon their release, other than the K750,that caused them to be taken off the shelves by O2 etc. The K700 comes to mind; anyone who regularly watches Watchdog in the UK could tell you this,or check the esato search for initial K700 probs.

Yeah buddy, I do read mobile burn too and off course most of the usenet groups,but only howard,prodigits and se, I found worthy enough to register with.unfortunately SE is 'a bit' biased but still enough open minded members frequent it :-) now the problems the k700 had where less then the ones with the 750i ! On the o2 quite a significant number of cells failed without any user fault.I do have nokia shares (not many unfortunately - bought in march this year) I found it worthy to read this forums to help me decide when to buy/sell.Any noteworthy fault with any nokia cell should have stuck in my mind, but mind you ,I am getting old now :-)

Thanx for the input, guys. It's certainly clarified my thinking, for which i'm grateful. I'm opting to play the waiting game for now... @Amawanqa, i've also read some disturbing reports re-6630... I'm currently reading up on whatever i can on the 6680

Mr mario
Its the o2 branding software that was causing problems... read the K750 users thread.

Yep, guess who ain't a fan of network branding? When I buy a phone I'm not expecting it to work flawlessly...afterall it's got more computing power than an ancient Commodore computer.

I fondly remember those Commodores... That whirring tape-drive... Those bulky joysticks... And yep, it does seem that branding has led to some nasty probz. Wonder how long before our Vodaphone mobiles start giving BER problems...

Anyone know the settings for Voda's mail server? I've given up on Gmail's POP3.
