Opinion:
I have had this phone over a year. I LOVE IT, just to get that out there now. I bought it 2nd hand. The touchscreen web surfing is unparalleled with the Linux OS and Opera browser. Stereo speakers are LOUD and very clear. Voice recorder is SO crisp, I use for mp3 podcasts. The FM radio rocks. This phone TALKS to you! It will read your phone book to you. It's bizarre. It happened last week after a year of silence. DOn't know which setting I tripped - but I can't get it back now. It was very cool. I kept hearing it. Wondering -what was that? Can take voice commands also. Can associate photos AND specific ring tones with contacts for ID. The phone is a bit heavy by today's standards, but with these speakers - I don't care. It has 50 MB of internal memory. Not bad for a 2005 phone. It has an SD slot can take up to 2gb I believe.

The batteries are HORRIBLE. I have 4 of them that I rotate in and out of a wall external charger for them. I JUST bought a motorola for my g/f that came with a USB power cable that charges my e680i now - while I'm on the laptop. This rocks, as I now have no need for the other 3 batteries I have for this phone!

I'm selling my phone to upgrade to the Nokia e93i - also with Linux. Or possibly the motorola rockr e6 with linux and touchscreen. Contact me for web site and specs. :P My member name is same as my g--mail address... :P
