I'm weak. I was planning on holding out to buy a 6681 on release. But my weakness for a 1.3 mp camera got the best of me. I was thinking of getting a 3230 if I couldn't hold out.

I didn't buy the new 3230 because of three reasons. First, the software on S60 phones often needs a firmware upgrade to address the bugs, and this often takes a couple of months. Second, it has an older Symbian 60 version installed (no automatic pop/imap polling, according to what I've read). Third, the word on the keyboard is mixed.

What about just holding out for the 6681, clearly the latest and greatest S60 offering? Given the fact that the 6680, the 3g antecedent, is "released" but still not widely available, I assume it's going to be at least mid April until we start seeing the 6681, if not later. And as I said, I'm weak.

So... I just pulled the paypal trigger on a 6630. Sure, it's fugly. But its been out for around five months, so you have to figure the bugs have been exterminated. And all I really want is the cam, which by all reviews is the best on any S60 phone, even rivalling the S700i, according to some people. Plus, its settled down to the mid-500's us; I'm sure the 6681 will set you back 700 us on release (and I'm NOT switching to Cingular for the 6682, thank you.)  ¶ 7:21 AM
