Phone looks okay, the slide is kind of cool. There aren't many stand out features. It's good if you're more interested in phoning & texting than checking your emails.

Dreadful phone, bought it in September & have had 4 repairs done since, wouldn't charge, holds message in outbox to retry later without being asked to, need a new phone that actually works.

I had not had this phone for 3 months when the back fell off it, so the battery had to be taped down. Nokia refused to replace the back & wanted £40 for a new casing. Having told me it was my fault, I discovered three other people who had also lost the backs off this phone within the first 3 months. I definitely would not buy it.

Sleek, neat, compact design, ideal phone for occasional user with sufficient memory for odd photo. Excellent for someone who wants a phone, not a fashion statement.

- Ugly design.
- Hardly any memory.
- Horrible camera.
- Gets boring very quickly.
- Quite easy to use, though. Still. I wouldn't recommend it. Hum.

When 500 MB fits on a memory stick the size of a finger nail Nokia must have made a special effort to only give this phone 13 MB of memory. Store one song & take a few photos & the memory is full!

This phone is great for anyone that just uses their phone to makes calls & texts. It doesn't have a memory card & doesn't take the best photos (also only stores a few photos at one time). In saying that I like the slide feature & the keys are a lot bigger & easier to use then my old Sony Ericsson. It's a good enough phone for the money as long as you don't want anything fancy.

Hi, Phone is very classic, I loved it & thats why I bought it.

Question. How many hours am I supposed to charge my newly purchased Nokia 2680 Slide before usage? I was told 6 hours, & I did that. On the contrary the battery is getting low very fast, My battery is getting low within a day & the usage is very minimal. My concern is, was I sold a used battery?

It is anything but user friendly. However, the battery lasts long. Nothing else I liked about this phone : (.

I love this phone. I have had many a troubled time with other mobile phones & what not, I found this rare gem, this beauty, in Orange. Granted it's not the end all & be all of mobile phones, but it does its job quite swimmingly well. All told, the real reason I am so happy about this phone is that I only paid about 90 USD for the thing. Quite a bargain for me. Enjoy.

Its an okay phone. It reminds me of the pink Nokia flip phones & I am waiting for it to act as poorly as that one did.
