I just tried to do a backup over the USB cable, complains that it can't access the 'Contacts.cdb' file.LandyMan said:
Software has problems, that's for sure
If you want to copy that file yourself, get a file manager like FEXPLORER, and copy it manually
The contact sync with the PC is a bit ***, because if there's duplicate fields, it will only use ONE of those fields on the PC, losing that info on the PC, while on the phone it's still there. I.E, you have two fields 'Mobile', it only copies one.

I sometimes get that via Bluetooth, but most of the time it is a Critical Error of some sorts. Well I copied everything that I can, just waiting to finish chargingTigerTael said:I just tried to do a backup over the USB cable, complains that it can't access the 'Contacts.cdb' file.

I am experiencing the following problem with my 6680.
Although the phone will show full signal, it will suddenly be off the network. Dialling a number nothing happens, dialling my phone goes to voicemail.
It is doingthe same thing after:
1. Picking it up from Nokia yesterday after sending in for
repair
2. Buying a new 32K sim card
Phoning vodacom some of the staff tell me they have heard or have a similiar thing with their phone. Nokia just says bring it in for repair.
Anyone have a similiar problem ? Vodacom3g can u help ?

Cop, as I said in the PM, it's unfortunately a Nokia warranty issue, so you'll have to take it back to them.
What you can maybe try is to set the phone to GSM only and see what it does. It might indicate a selection problem. You can do this under Tools->Settings->Network Settings

No, that's not the point.
It always helps to know the extend of the problem before you book it in so you know what to tell the repair center and to check if it's working when you get it back.
I've learned with most repair organisations, if you don't tell them EXACTLY what's wrong they try and spin you a fast one.
"Your phone won't make a call sir? Have you tried turning it on? Are you sure you had coverage? Did you stand on your left leg?", etc. Enough to make you want to commit murder...
I call it the Microsoft 'Engineer' effect as so many desktop support people do this nowadays...(With apologies to the ****-hot Microsoft gurus out there!)
In any case, the point is; try and get a repeatable situation so you can show it to the repair guy.

Fair point but you obviously have not booked a phone in for a while.
The person who recieves it has no technical knowledge, you ask to talk to a techie sorry you cant, you have to give it to them and they will send it on. Besides when i went to fetch it after it was in for repair, they said they couldnt fix it and had to send it to the main repair centre, so even if there was someone there to talk to I doubt they could have helped

Not to sure about the USB cable. I use a Nokia charger and Bluetooth to achieve what you require.

You can charge the 6680 with the power cable while connected via 3G on your PC.
Unfortunately the USB cable only drains the phone faster, I kinda hoped it would trickle charge but no such luck.

According to 1082, a 64k SIM card is needed for video calling (but not for 3g).
