Samsung X680 - User Reviews

  • I juz got this phone, everything works except there's no sound. Did the code reset but still the same. Any advise?

  • This phone is very nice bt the spare parts are soo rare

  • Pls import the parts of this fone to Nigeria bcos it is very difficult to get here in Nigeria. I thought it was just only mine that was produced. I bought the fone in Benin Edo State of Nigeria in 2007.I can't get the casting now.

  • Pls I need the casing of this phone X680, I searched all Lagos and Benin in Nigeria. The phone fell and split into two. Ever since I can't use. Pls help me bcos I love the phone so much and most of my information arw stored inside.

  • has this phone tri-band capability?

  • It's always blinking when I turn it on that's why I can't use it. Could someone pls help me. Thank you!

  • To mikeyla the best that you can do is to buy a Bluetoothstick. then you can send music from your computer onto the phone.i always did it like that!

  • how to scan the viruses?

  • how to scan the viruses?

  • This phone is almost all in one device but there is only one downside,the camera is so sensitive to motion.

  • i love this handphone

  • I just have one problem I gave my son one of these and i cannot figure out how to put music on it from his mp3 he really wants it on there and he has been begging me for weeks. please can you help me Thanks

  • Sky, try this version of Opera Mini:

  • Is new this handy but i`m verry pleased. It`s verry ok for this price! In Romania 70-80 euro /free(not monthly)

  • This phone is good for only taking a few pics or if you recieve many phone calls. In other things it isn't that good.

  • I am thinking of getting this phone but want 1 that has a good hands free speaker on it. Can someone plz tell me how good this 1 is

  • is this phone satisfy you all?? this phone can used mp3 as ringtone and msg tone?? how long ringtone that this phone can support?? because like sony erricson just support 8second for msg tone..

  • I am using this model for one year. I am unable to reply from my gmail account, can't log in to yahoo or hotmail accounts, can't install opera mini or any other application. Any solutions ?

  • Can i put a photo from a contact in external visor when someone call me? How can i do?

  • Ive had this phone since last xmas too and ,sadly ,i lost it but while i had it it was gr8!the only problems were that it could have dun wit a bit more memory and de buttons got really hot after txtin for a long tym.I luvd it though nd so did ma frends.This would b a good buy i think!:)

  • Ive had this phone since last xmas now and i think its ok but its got rubbish memory can only store 4 songs you cant put a memory card in it but i like the design and to change the writing style u press # and hold it down for predictive txt

  • Catherine,I'd same problem when using applications like gmail jar & opera mini. I used to make spacing as required but the boxes would always appear exactly as your message posted here is. I had to change phone.

  • Catherine, there is no FM function for this phone. As regards the problem regarding the text, check your language settings. With respect to the space, I think Samsung phones generally use the # key for space and not 0. For Bluetooth connections asking security codes, that can be bypassed by activating the automatic connect function for Bluetooth.

  • For people who want to transfer data (pictures, music, video, etc) from this phone to a computer or vice-versa, if you don't have a USB cable, you can use the Bluetooth function in the phone. If your computer doesn't have built-in Bluetooth capability, you can buy USB Bluetooth dongles (which are very cheap and can be used to connect a lot of devices). And I would also suggest downloading the PIMS software from Samsung. It is a bit hard to use (compared to Nokia), but I think that it is worth it.

  • hey do n e of u know if this phone works in USA??

  • Simple but elegant especially not easily to become obsolete.

  • i really need someone to help me. i have no idea how to put mp3s on my phone. i have no usb cable with the phone so can i do it without it? pleez help

  • hi, i just got the phone myself so guess i am still discovering its strenghts and weaknesses though i like what i have seen so far. i need a little help with the pc link setup and mms, any ideas? thanks

  • This was the very first fone i got. Its good for your 1st fone but the camera isn't that good and there is barely any memory especially for the mp3 player!!

  • Hi I have a question. When I want to exchange something with someone via bluetooth, my phone ask me to enter a password, which is 1234, and it also ask my password to the other person. how can I disabeld this option? the security option is already off, I don't know what to do... thanks

  • Asvil... u can insert more than 30 mp3 into this phone. But first, u have to get the mp3 compressed. I have the sofware called DIET MP3 that can do that job. It's so easy to use because it was very user-friendly. U can compressed till 75% - 12% depends on what quality u choose... either tape quality, Cd quality or radio FM quality. Etc; mp3 with 4.5MB size can be compressed to around 400Kb only. So much space u can save. Please email me to get the sofware... free. i get it by free too. my email: [email protected]

  • to change the message tone, you go to settings, sound settings and then message tone

  • I have this phone for over a year now,and ilove the features of this phone,and unlike other phones,The batteries last longer..Most of you are saying that you can store up to 30 songs on your phone..How?help me plz..

  • Hey guys can someone pls tell me what i have to do to listen to music with the flap closed and how i can change the message tone??? Thank you

  • I'm going to buy this mobile tomorrow, can someone pls tell me a bit about the camera, is it good?

  • This is a cheap toy. Build quality is crap. OS is fast and responsive which is nice. Screen is below average due to 65k colours only. Camera is ok I guess. To the person below: You use bluetooth to put mp3 songs on it. I can't believe this phone has higher rating than KRZR K1. I mean surely X680 is not better than K1? I just ordered K1 because X680 feels like a toy.

  • i have just bought this phone lately,i find it nice..but i dont know how to put mp3's on it..and how to transfer the photos into the computer..if someone knows how..please please teach me how...tnx..here's my contact.. [email protected]!

  • I got it a few weeks ago but I don't understand how to get MP3 songs on it.

  • it is the best mobile i ever had i ad 5 mobiles and till know it is the best pls who has this phone pls tell me if your internet is available mine is not but it's great the mobile

  • i've this phone... with 32 mp3 song in it and still can be added more. It's so simple. U can compress the mp3 song using DIET MP3... it can be compressed till 16% from the original. For example... song with 4.1MB can be compressed to 560KB only... Of coz, the quality are going lil' bad... but, if u're using earphone, it will sound same as original. then, it wiil be just like the MP3 Player when u're using earphone connect to this phone. Don't use loudspeaker lah. Try lah!

  • I've used a Samsung X680 in the past year, and although i am not too pleased with the amount of functions available, it is a very reliable and beautiful mobile phone. However, like almost every other Samsung (excluding Ultra Edition Samsungs), it lacks in functions and tools. Nevertheless, a basic, stylish phone, at an affordable price.

  • the phone can store alot of photos, right now i have about 104 images and 25 videos, and can still store more, depending on the quality of the video/images. the better the quality the bigger the size of the file. It also have earphone for the mp3 player.

  • does the phone come with ear phones to listen to the music or does it have to be playe d out loud?

  • Hi, i'm considering getting this phone. Does this phone have alot of memory in general. For example would alot of messages fill it up very quickly, or alot of ringtones or pictures?

  • I bought the Samsung x680 a couple of months ago, and although I was disappointed that it did not have any FM radio function, the overall performance has been good. I loved its sleek design and it really feels comfortable in my hands when I use it. For those who complain about the low memory, shell out more money to buy a phone with bigger memory. For those who want to listen to music on it, especially mp3s, just lower the playback rates. I lowered mine to FM radio quality and I managed to squeeze in 18 songs, enough for a decent album.

  • hey peeps. This phone dont have great features as u can see, but it has one of the sexiest designs a phone can have. I love it. If onl it had good features. meh too bad.

  • on stand by... about 5 days

  • Hi! How about battery life? How long does it last in standby? Thanks :-)

  • to mjsi, well... if you are not satisfied with the phone, you should not buy it.. you have the freedom to choose. Samsung x680 is being sold at a very low price compared to other phone with the same functionality. If you want more function, more memory... shell-out bigger amount of money for you choice of phone that will satify your needs.

  • yes.. the bluetooth is okay. you can easily transfer file from your phone to your computer or vice-versa. you can also easily exchange file with other fone with bluetooth facility.

  • is the bluetooth on this phone good?

  • such a gd lcking fone i luv it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • No it's not that beautiful when it comes to functionality and "friendliness". No memory card extention possibility - so what's the point with an MP3 player with space for only a couple of tracks?? Sms are made difficult with slow and stupid menus. In general, navigation in menus are slow. No headset included. On the pros; Camera ok for a VGA, however. And the size if you like it small. Overall, I'm rather dissapointed and have just changed it for a Nokia 6131.

  • I got this phone December last year. It's a great phone. Great value for your money. Anyone thinking of buying a new phone, consider this one. Much cheaper than other phone, and everything is in it, MP3, video, camera, bluetooth and internet surfing. Very handy, light and a head turner looks.

  • The phone is capable of voice recording. It last about 2 minutes (I guess!)

  • Radio is not present on the phone, but you can download MP3 files and set it as your call ringtone or play it in your phone. You can save the MP3 files/music by downloading to your computer thru the internet and sending them to your phone via bluetooth.

  • i've this phone some weeks ago.the phone is cool but i dont know if radio is included.someone should email me to give me the information ok. pls.

  • This phone is awesome but how can i get on the internet and send mms??? i have try'ed everything. PLEASE HELP

  • i love this phone! i like colour & i am about to buy it=)

  • battery life depends on how you use the cellphone. if you will use your bluetooth for file transfer, takes video and play MP3, the battery life will be lesser than during usual use like call and text which will take about 3 to 4 days to drain. Not bad at all.

  • i love this phone...i had it for 3 months and is amazing!!! the camera is really good for a VGA...mp3 music is very loud and clear and also the battery life...it is user friendly as other samsungs and out of 10 i would give it a lovely 8...i recommend it to everyone !!!

  • hi i want to know the battery ,how many days can hold ?!

  • yes it has a mirror screen where you can take self-photos. You will be using the camera botton at the side of the phone to activate the self-photo taking. the Flip of the phone is close when using the front screen in taking self-photo.

  • the front screen of the phone is only nomocrome.. but once you take picture thru the nomocrome screen it is automatically save in color

  • hi Ive had this phone for a couple of months my screen on the front is in black and white but on all the pictures it is in colour can someone email please me im confused. thank you tom

  • Hey guys, I'm not getting the Samsung X680 yet but when I'm getting a new phone I will definately get this fone!!Anyway I was just wondering can you get it in different colours and does it have mirror sceen because on a website it said it does but nobody else has mentioned it?!?!Somebody tell me please ... I'm desperete!!!!!

  • This phone can took video around 280kb (290kb maximum-around 10-30 second)... for each files/shots. Is there any way that we could increase the capability of video shot using this phone. Maybe around 1 minutes?

  • Well ive now had this phone for nearly two months and have to say i'm quite impressed.It's a perfect size and everything on it works perfectly.My only problem is the memory,ive got five songs on my mp3 and only have about 3000K left.Apart from that it's a great phone,especially for the price too.

  • I am having this phone for one month. this phone has everything and it is simple. can any one plz tell me how can I customize the web browser of this phone so that I caN SURF THE internet in text base mode.

  • I dont see/experience any problem with MMS. May the problem is the service provider. Here in the Phils, in smart and globe you still need to activate the MMS feature before you can send or receive mms, maybe you should activate the feature with you service provider before you could use MMS.

  • i've bought this phone... and i am agree, this phone is great. But i'd like ask if someone else had the same problem with me. I found that this phone had a problem to retrieve the MMS. I've tried 15 times. But only one retrieve successfully. Is it phone problem or service provider (hotlink) problem? help me please.

  • To Reduce or off the key sounds, you have to use the button given on left side of the fone to increse to reduce it.

  • I just this phone yesterday... oh no! i love this phone much. Worth to buy it! The screen quality is very good. But, i'd like to change the keypad sound, but the sound still the same no matter what sound i choose.

  • can anyone tell me how to put games with buletooth on the mobile.10x

  • This fone does not have a radio. But you can save MP3 files. There are 10 built-in message alert tone to choose from. Go to menu - setting - sound setting - message tone - text tone - press the middle botton to go the list of tones

  • you can use the phone side key to reject a call while the flip of the phone is close.

  • In mobile88.com website, it was said that this phone has a IrDA. But it was differently in this site. Which is true? X680: IrDA or Non-IrDA?

  • how do i put on mp3 tones,some1 please help me !!!

  • Do you mean how to use external screen for taking picture? It can only be done when the folder/flip is closed, activate the camera button on right side by long press ~2 sec, then the external screen will be activated and can be used as a viewfinder ( for self portrait mostly) then short press the camera button for taking picture, open the flip + open file manager to view the picture taken previously. I believe this will also work in any other Samsung flip phone with dedicated side camera button. However for this phone the external screen will only show monochrome picture.

  • how do you take the external screen for pictures?

  • Hey this phone is the best phone i ever had i like the idea it plays mp3 files and it also play while the lid of the phone is done you don't really need a cable for this because it has bluetooth and i dont think that cable are avaliable for this make, the bluetooth on this phone is the best ever! and the design is great its much better then my older phone which was the samsung x640 i also like the exturnal screen and the camara! but the only thing i dont like is it has not email client! so you can't email anyboby you can only send via blue and MMS well i thin k samsung has done a pretty good JOB!!!!

  • If u live in Sydney the blutooth dongles are around $30 in allphones and they sell them on ebay for around 15 but then you have to pay for delivery.

  • The thing is called usb bluetooth dongle. In my country Malaysia it cost roughly USD10-15 only and it came with it's own software- Bluesoleil. x680 support profile file transfer so when you are already paired up x680 with your pc you can browse all the content in x680 (photo, mp3 ,etc) and then transfer any file that you want to your pc. Or otherwise you can transfer file from pc to x680 with object push (refer to my old post)

  • I dont have any problem with my samsung x680, just that I dont have a device to transfer my files to my computer and vice versa. What do you call the Bluetooth device to be attached to the computer to be able to download files to a computer? is it called bluetooth doggle? do anyone have an idea also on how much it cost? It will be a very great help for me.

  • hey guys, i had my x680 phone for a month now and am having no problems with it so far. actually, i've wanted a handset that has more features and higher resolution but since my budget is really low, i browsed through the net and found this good phone for a minimal price. the video is okay, and it captures the sound clearly. the pictures are awesome. mp3 storage is not that high so the best thing you can do is to have your mp3s compressed to save more into your phone. actually, it's hard to find a usb-cable for samsung here in philippines, and if there is, it comes really pricey. so the usb-bluetooth is the best i can suggest to use for your pc-phone transfers, besides, it's more portable than the cable.

  • i just love my x680, it`s the best phone ever. but i just wonder one thing. is there a usb-cable you can buy to x680? i really want one..

  • i love this phone. its one of the best samsungs i ever had

  • Hi to new user! You don't need usb cable or samsung pc studio to transfer mp3 or photo from pc. Get yourself a bluetooth dongle, pair your pc with x680, select object push>send object, browse the file you want and send to your x680. Then check corresponding folder in file manager- photo,mp3 etc. Not sure about jar file because i usually download directly from wapsite using gprs.

  • hello, i`m from sweden, and i`ve just bought a samsung x680. i wonder if the phone can use a usb-cable, so that you can download things from the computer to the phone? :) grateful for all your help.

  • Does anyone know if i can put phone pics on my computer wit the samsung pc studio as i got no lead and my other lead wont fit in this phone???

  • I cannot set the mobile to ring and vibrate when a SMS arrives, is that possible? I have the same problem with the call tones, is possible to have the phone to ring and vibrate at the same time?

  • i think i'm buying this phone tomorrow but i jusy have to ask, please reply to this, can you video and voice record? becasue on my last phone i thought you could but it couldnt. wb please!

  • This phone is small and simple.It has got good camera and good MP3.It has everything that is good.

  • I love the phone, does exactly what I want. Yes, music can be played while the phone is shut. You need to open "Media Player" and select your music, play of course, then you can shut the phone. Only problem I'm having is installing new games or applications, which hopefully, will be solved soon.

  • I have one problem with this mobile, I bought it yesterday and when I plugged it to charge the battery, both screens remains lighting. Is a problem of my terminal or is in all terminals?

  • this mobile is perfect its has godd memory and you can hear you mp3 with the door shut

  • Hi I just bought this phone and I'm very happy with it. My only question is that, can it play mp3 while the phone is closed? Thanks a lot.

  • Does it save a lot of pictures? the memory is good?

  • It came with stereo earphone cum handsfree but it fit very poorly to my ear. Besides you don't really need it beacause no FM radio and the memory to small just enough for few mp3 file only. If you really need a handsfree -get yourself a bluetooth one.

  • Does it have handsfree or earphones?

  • this phone is very small so i can carry it even in my purse! very interesting its option photocall and sound call. i only regret that the volume of mp3 sound is very low...

  • Does it have voice recorder?? How much can it record if so?

  • Just bought X680 on 12/12/06- actually for my father. 2nd samsung so far the 1st one x200 for my mother. I found that samsung flip phone are very suitable for older generation because they can just open the flip to answer + close it to terminate call , so they don't have to guess which button to press like in candybar phone. the font size is very big too for shortsighted people. The display is brilliant(both x200+ x680) for small res of 128x160. My phone came with internal memory 23mb + 2mb for java apps- more than enough for a lot of photo in vga res + few mp3.You can easily transfer photo or mp3 with pc/notebook/PDA with bluetooth. I don't recommend this phone for anyone that need a proper music phone or need powerful phonecam- get yourself at least an x700 (if you are samsung fan) or SE k750. Not really both samsung or SE die hard fan but I always think of these 2 brand when buying any new phone. I use Alcatel S853 music phone now.

  • hi. I have had several phones in the fast, the first one was an ericsson, then a motorolla, nokia and the last one before i have this Samsung X680 for christmas was a Samsung E700. In summary Samsung is the best fone I ever had. and Samsung X680 is the best phone among the others that I ever had.

  • Is it possible to change the menu colors? I don't like it in red

  • I love this phone design and ergonomics. So far the only fault I found is the low volume (IMO) for mp3 ringtones. Anyway I always go back to old fashion ring ring boring tones, so this won't bug me that much.

  • the phone is pretty small +lightweight only annoying thing i've found is u cant change the message alert only 1 pretty boring tone unless i'm missing something

  • what make is the free dvd please?

  • I want to buy a samsung x680 but i have no idea what colour to choose can you please show pictures of each colour please Thank you

  • how do you download songs from ur pc to the phone because it doesnt come with a lead

  • I've got this phone and I really like it.With the blotooth I have all the songs and the pictures that I want.Actually when I bought it all my friend where asking me which phone is that.And now a couple of my friends bought it too.I don't likr that but I guess it's ok.(excuse me if I didn't wrote that correct I don't speak english very well)

  • Bought the phone on Fri 1st Dec 2006 from Argos and got a free DVD player! Its a good phone but think I have must have a faulty batch...phone keeps switching itself off when in my pocket or bag. The external screen is black so you cant see your face and when you move it is about 2 secs behind is that normal? tried to take it back to Argos but they point blank refused to do anything about it switching itself off even though its within the 14 days and under warranty so beware!

  • --------------GREAT HANDPHONE---------------- I really luv tis handphone very much!!!ALL of u muz buy it realli!!!!!!!

  • This phone quite gd but i still like E730 better.Although E730 is more older,the memory is bigger and photo taking much more better.Ya la the E730 i hav is nt onli 4 mi is 4 my family too!!!!I wan to hav a personal phone so i bought X680.I Realllly luv tis phone.hope samsung will invent better haphone in future Jia You!!!!

  • obviously your gona be able to hear there voice in a recording it looks like a really good phone but where can you get to see a preview of the other colours

  • I just bought this phone yesterday and it’s my first Samsung ever. You can feel the quality when you first touch the phone, and it’s total opposite to my previous Siemens SF65. Like someone asked – you can store 200 SMS and yes, you can set the whole (I’ve tried like ~4 mb) mp3 as a ringtone. Main flaws I have noticed: it has no apostrophe ( ’ ) symbol and it’s kinda strange, cause it has English language  When you talk or simply open the phone external display stays lit and says nothing, doesn’t look nice at all, it would be nice to have Samsung logo or something. You can’t set message ringer and vibrator both at the same time, options are – ring, vibrate or nothing. Some other minor bad thingies too, but all in all it’s very good looking, well build and feature packed, really I’m glad I bought it…

  • i'm gettin this phone for christmas and am getting excited it's my first phone with bluetooth and was wondering wether it worked well eg. easy to use, good signal, quick to download stuff etc.?

  • can anyone tell me if this phone can use headphones

  • am could any one help me i want to know if the video records ur voice as well ? plz help me i really want to get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 help

  • I was wondering if someone could enlighten me about this: You can use MP3 as ringtone, but can you use a WHOLE MP3, and not just 100kb (like in sgh-x660). Does this phone have the same limitation? Also I would like to know if this phone will be scratched easily, or does it have the camera issue some Samsungs have (takes "pocket photos" while carrying it, and soon you'll have 50 black photos and an empty battery). Thanks in advance for the answers.

  • how much memory does the phone have all together?

  • Hi there, I bought this cell phone, and I'm having difficulty in viewing the JPGS I'm transfering to it through bluetooth. Does it support only small resolutions or something? Thanks in advance...

  • well after reading this feed i ordered this phone from argos in the uk its price was �59.99 with a free dvd player worth �17.99 it looks a real bargain

  • First of all, I must notice, what a stupid question is "can you record sound with it"... For those of you that wait for a phone to replace the microwave oven: they're still called phones! for now. I want a phone that, in addition to what a phone is suppose to be (good reception & battery), has a great design (clamshell, slim, light, small, nice angles not too sharp nor too round). X680 is by far the best here, but (according to posts) seems mediocre at both reception & battery life. Another good option would have been the nowhere-to-be-found E770, which is also very pretty overall (20mm thin), and does not suffer from reception problems (it can also take place of an iPod, given the mem slot). I read a very well-written review on E770, but could not found one on X680. Looks like I'm waiting for a yet-to-be invented phone :)

  • festa, I reckon you made a good choice. I have had this phone for a month now and I love it. It serves my purpose really well, and it is light enough not to bug you in your pocket or coat. I take loadsa pics, then transfer them to my computer to share with my buddies. You can set mp3s as ringtones too, which makes for good fun. Hurrah!!!

  • Hi,well i recently bought this phone last Saturday as a christmas present to myself so i can't have until christmas.However i obviously got to use it for a few minutes just to make sure everything works,so far it's easy to use and the camera and video quality is fine.It is also a lot smaller than i expected,around the same size as my current phone,E700.It's a great little replacement and now i can't wait for christmas.

  • Can anyone tell me how many text messages this phone can store?

  • I presume you can use a USB cable, a bluetooth dongle is nothing more than a remote version of the same thing. Take your mobile to a phone shop and ask which USB lead you need. One end goes in the PC and the other usually connects to the battery charger slot on your mobile.

  • i just wanted to ask im having trouble finding a usb dongle so can i just use a normal usb cable??? plz sum one reply bak asap

  • sorry im thinkin of getin this fone can u record songs on it and if so for how long ?

  • To get songs from your PC, buy a bluetooth dongle (about 10 quid on ebay). It plugs into the USB port on your PC, and it will come with a bit of software. Transferring pictures and music to and from your PC and mobile is then as easy as pi. :) :) :)

  • hi...i bought this phone a few days ago it is a good phone...but how do i get songs from my computer onto the phone...someone please help me...i really love my music!!!!!

  • Sending a text is not as long winded as has been suggested. Rather than going through all the menu lists every time, just compose your text as normal, then press the central button. It will take you through the basic steps straight to the contacts list. It is just a matter of getting used to the shortcuts.

  • Surely the reception issue is subject to what area you happen to be in at the time?

  • hi:)) i`ve got this phone and it`s good! btw Polyphonic channels are low for me! can help me somebody? i want to play sound when i open the phone or when i close it.is it possible? plS ...anSwER MEe

  • I just bought the X680 yesterday and I think it is a pretty good phone. By the way, I have to agree to Williams that the phone's primary "grimace" is its signal reception. However, I think the "grin(s)" compensate well. Samsung X680 has the basic applications and functions you can have in a phone (pretty good camera, video and voice recording, etc.). One last comment... I think it has the looks for less.

  • I cannot get my caller ID to work I have saved contact to phone and can only answer when pressing the green key but still does not show caller in box on the outside of the phone anyone know why?

  • The battery sucks, you're lucky if it last 3days. if you are a person who always carry a bag maybe its ok to bring extra battery where you can put the extra battery, but what if you don't have a bag? And thereis the problem with the reception just like one the guys have ealier complain about. One minute the reception is clear and another minute it's gone. I have to turn off the phone and then turn it on again in order to get the reception back. And as to sms, nokia is still the best but have to admit, compared with my old E310, samsung has improve in that department.

  • usb cable. doesn't come with the package so you still need to get it separately. or just ask friends to send you some via bluetooth in the meantime.

  • how do u get songs onto ur fone from the computer

  • the higher the megapixel, the better the resolution. i got my unit last week. it's my first time to use a samsung phone (used nokia for ages), but i'm not the least disappointed with x680. i got my money's worth. everything that i need in a phone is all in x680. sending sms is easier with nokia units, but you can get used to samsung's in a jiff. sound volume fares much better than all the nokia units i've had. i'm always mobile, so it's one of my primary concerns. alarm clock's great. pic quality, fair enough. sound quality, great. the weight, i love it. so light. i'm crazy about clam type phones, so i'm pretty much biased with the phone's design. the only glitch would probably be the batt life. after a day, i have to charge it again. solution: buy an extra batt. no problem, really. bottomline: i love it better than all the nokia units i've used for almost a decade. x680 is definitely hot!

  • i havnt got it yet but i was thinking of getting it for xmas. i just wanted to know how good the camera is. coz i dont understand all this mega pixel stuff. thnx

  • yes you can record your voice and yes the external screen or little screen as you call it can be use for self portrait but it is not colored.

  • Hey i Was justwondering if it has voice record?? Coz yeh I really want a new phonebut yeh... I want a good one.. Um does the little front screen hav colour.. n can u put pictures on it?? thnx..xx... plz help me :P

  • The memory can no longer be upgraded. It's already built-in. Yes, you can set downloaded mp3 & recorded voice as ringtone. Sending SMS just takes a little bit of getting used to if you're more familiar with Nokia & SE phones. Save smileys on Templates then insert them in your messages. I have 5 3gp videos saved each running for a minute, 50+ animated screensavers that I set as wallpaper & change everday, depending on my mood or wardrobe :-)2 full mp3 song plus 5 mp3 ringtones and I still have 5mb of memory left. 2 days of battery life is already acceptable. Connects easily with other Bluetooth devices. This phone really gives you your money's worth.

  • to jb, yes this phone is great to hold on you hand,the sound and vibrating alert is better than my old samsung. i said the sms is not good because everytime you want to send a text, it ask too many questions before you can finally send your text unlike nokia which is simple and fast. by the way, the battery does not last long. i have to charge this phone almost every two days. don't know if the battery is defective or that's the real life of the battery.

  • The internal memory is up to 30 MB. How many memory it can be upgrade? If you know about it, please post it. Thanks.

  • Is this phone very hit-resistant and why sms is so hard? Is the voice and loudness good, can you here well others? How about the vibrating alert? Does the phone fit well in hand and is it easy to handle?

  • Hi! I just bought this phone today! I think it's quite a good phone!

  • to amy, yes there is mp3 in this phone. this phone is good to look at and have an great tft screen. But the battery does not last long and texting is not its finest feature.

  • hi would someone please let me know if this phone has an MP3 player on it please # thanx xx

  • yes you can record video but there is a limit, i think around 30-40sec. only. as to setting of mp3 as your ringtone, sorry haven't tried it yet. if you like to text, this phone is not for you, it ask too many queations before you can send a text and some special characters are missing like the smiling u found in all phones including my old Samsung E310 phones are not here so you have to improvise if you want to send a person a smiling face which is time consuming. Taking a self portrait is also not good coz the external screen is not colord. Was little disappointed with this phone, won't recommend to others.

  • can this phone record video clips?and if can does it have limit on recording or not?

  • Very nice toy. But nothing more than a toy.

  • Has anybody tried to set as a ringtone a voice recorded by the phone itself? Or if this doesn't work can you use the mp3s that you upload to the phone as ringtones? Thanks.

  • (a different guy from Poland here) You can take pictures even when the lid down (i.e. for self-portrait). Holding down the right side button enables the camera mode and pressing it again takes a picture. You can use the small b/w screen to aim, as it displays the picture. Other things of note: -the visualisations on the mp3 player are fake -I found no way to zoom the pictures while viewing them (the camera has a digital zoom though) -you can set the phone to answer calls with opening of the lid, but it makes assigning pictures to contacts useless, as they don't display on the small screen -the number-keys can be set to play musical notes while dialing, thus you can play simple melodies by pressing the keys in a proper sequence :) -the directional keys (the silver wheel) can be assigned shortcut functions (new sms/mms, mp3 player, calc, unit converter etc.) but the center button always brings up the wap-browser, which is a bit annoying...

  • The phone's performance is really good. Nice user interface. Bright colors. I really admire Samsung's screen quality. Their 65K TFT screen can be compared to a 262K Nokia screen. Media player is definitely not boring. You can change the skin and the graphic display. Small memory but it's okay. I don't need to take a lot of pictures with it since I already have a digicam & I only save mp3 songs and make them my ringtone. I download files using Bluetooth.

  • I think the phone is great. However I bought it two days ago and already it's loosing its reception two, three times an hour... Does only my phone act like this? Has anyone the same kind of problem? I'm going to the service to repair it, but don't know if it will help.

  • Yo! Sisi of poland, since the external screen is mono not colored, how do you take your self-portrait?

  • Yo, does the phone come with a usb cable? what's the length of video it can take? Anyone any idea of what shade of pink it is? Something soft like the 6111 or more like the v3 pink? be honest, is it any good?

  • Is it possible to play avi on this mobile (whath about length)

  • It has no e-mail client!

  • hello! I'm from Poland, I've got this phone since month. I really like it, you can connect it with computer with a Bluetooth device (which got USB plug so you can connect it with your computer without any problem :)oh, I forgot - you have to download special program Samsung PC Studio, you can find it on the web: ) This phone can hold about 28 MB music, I like the fact that you can listen music with close phone :) (sorry for my English ;) )

  • hi im seriously interested in buying this phone, i was wondering what the mp3 player is like in it? can it hold many songs? does the usb cable come with it? could someone please answer these questions!! thanks

  • my vendour told me he can't get the usb cable for me. can anyone help me to get thecable connecting the phone to pv usb port?

  • Can anyone please tell me about the sound quality of this phone . what about its mp3 player is it good? and how many songs can u actually save?????

  • this phone is just an improvement of e310. but still this is a good looking entry level phone.

  • Can anyone talk about the X680's battery life?

  • to your question, the e730 is a far superior model because it's a high range phone. This phone is an entry level phone, being released in the pre-paid category. Having said that, it looks like a very good phone. I currently have the x660, which is the model just below it. Just looking at the price though, I think you're better off to save up for the e730... it only costs $349 outright if you buy it from some wholesale stores. It has way more features than this phone. It just depends on if u can wait, if u can then there's always much better phones coming out all the time... can't keep up. hope this helps. :)

  • can u download ringtones without bluetooth?

  • i've been reading all samsung's opinion, n i've using this samsung for long time ago. Well, i think U Cannot set vibrate n ring at the same time, but U can chose a ringtones that can ring n vibrate at the same time. Not all ringtones can do this, but some other ringtones can do this(vibrate n ring). I've put some ringtones from PC to my phone, so i can tell U this. Thx bee

  • just wondering can you set this to ring and vibrate and the same time or does it ring and then vibrate? thanks1

  • yeah the phone's alarm still ring when the phone is turn off.

  • Hi there, Does anybody know if the alarm (wake up call) can sound when the phone is turned off? Thanks, K

  • can anybody comment about the battery life? Thanks in Advance

  • I bought the phone today and i think it is a real good phone it looks great and the menu isn't difficult. u can set up caller id whit picture but the contact has to be on the phone i think not on sim card.

  • I've just bought one and think it's fantastic. Small stylish and superb performance.

  • Im seriously considering buying this. Has anyone got one? And is it a good phone. Its either this or the e730..which one is better? Please reply anyone!!! i need a new phone.

  • Anybody experience with this phone ? I`m thinking to buy it...

  • Looks like Samsung is replacing all their old models with the slim black ones. Kool.
