Overall rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

I've seen better Nokia's and better prepaid phones for T-Mobile...but if you want yours to come with bluetooth and a camera, this will do just fine.

Pros:
1.Nice call quality, and comes with a headpiece
2.Easy to use menu's and interface
3.Screen looks good for a prepaid phone
4.For that matter, the phone looks good for a prepaid phone. The red and black is a nice change from uglier versions.
5.Camera and bluetooth, mp3's, etc.

Cons:
1.Keypad is small and cramped...texting is a pain
2.Not much in terms of "menu customization"
3.Reception was disappointing. It's "average", but I expected more for a candybar Nokia

If your looking for a basic phone, prepaid or not, you could do better than the 1680. But if you need the bluetooth and camera without paying an arm and a leg, this is a nice pick up. The only real con is the keypad. If you live in a fringe area and need a cheap fix, try to get your hands on the Motorola Renew or the Nokia 1208/1661.

Overall rating: 2.5 (out of 5)

Pros -

small, lightweight

text font can be adjusted to a large size

camera phone

Cons -

Earpiece volume is terrible set at even highest level (without speakerphone engaged)

Its flat firm keys makes the chance for mistakes more possible

The backcover on mine became loose after only removing it once to install SIM and battery

For a 1xxx series Nokia to have a VGA camera, speakerphone, bluetooh, people do not expect miracles. Be grateful for the little things. Battery life, reception, etc., you cannot get any better than this for an entry level GSM. Complaints do not make any sense. You get what you pay for.

good battery life
wine red color looks nice
loud ringers

Con's

slow menus
a little difficult to text
cheaply made
needs a micro sd slot
