A 3G handset by Nokia, running Symbian operating system, with Series 60 version 2 user interface, the Nokia 6680, features Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel fixed focus camera, front VGA (0.3 megapixel) video call camera, hot swappable Dual Voltage Reduced Size MMC (DV-RS-MMC) memory expansion card support, stereo audio playback and a 2.1", 176x208, 18-bit (262,144) color display. Announced in February 2005, they reached the market in May 2005.

The 6680 remains a high-end 3G device. It is a smartphone offering office and personal management facilities, including Microsoft Office compatible software. The phone initially offered an innovative active standby mode, but this was removed by some network operators (for example, Orange) under their own adapted firmware. The phone, however has been marred by a more-than-normal number of bugs, which have included crashes and security issues. The phone was also criticised in some reviews for the relatively limited memory available.

In addition to the standard[citation needed] RS-MMC card, the 6680 can also use Dual Voltage Reduced Size MMC (DV-RS-MMC) cards which are also marketed as MMCmobile. While these cards have the same form factor as RS-MMC, the DV-RS-MMC have a 2nd row of connectors on the bottom. Make sure any upgraded card supports or claims to support 1.8V in addition to 3.0V.

The phone operates on GSM 900/1800/1900, and UMTS 2100 on 3G networks.

During its development, the 6680 was nicknamed Milla.

This handset was similar to its predecessor, the Nokia 6630. Key changes were the new "active standby" feature, the facility for face-to-face video calls, and improved styling.

This handset was the spring-board onto the N-Series, its successor being the N70.

The hardware application platform of this device is OMAP 1710.
