Well... this phone is awesome...
Screen:
bright and clear... the best screen I've seen so far. Awesome quality.
Sound:
clear and nice
mp3s:
stereo, but the sound is to weak. The player is nice.
Camera:
Very nice and clear. But the black parts of the photo are still full of noise.
Performance:
The 220MHz ARM 5 processor (the older S60 phone do have a ARM4) of the phone is awesome... the speed of the phone... nice... loading themes is damn fast... nearly no waiting
I've tested the phone with SPMark04... 972 Points and 14,7 fps... as comparison: the SX1 gets 491 points and 8,24 fps.
It's not needed anymore to set the caller log to less than 30 days 
The phone is fast enough.
Memory:
The included 64 MB RS-DV-MMC offers enough memory for the beginning. I'm not thinking about a bigger card (too expensive). The internal memory of 10MB is quite big, about 7,5MB are free for the user.
The cover of the hot swap MMC slot is a bit weak in my opinion, I guess it breaks easily 
WCDMA/3G/UMTS:
Couldn't test it. Have to call my provider and ask what to do 
Size:
Not to bulky for an S60 phone, nearly the same size as the Siemens SX1.
Weight:
Normal weight for an S60 phone.
Connectivity:
Bluetooth works fine for me, DKU-2 not tested yet (I don't think I will ever use it...). The memory card works with my over a year old card reader perfectly.
Weird stuff:
According to SPMark04 the phone supports pens (like the touchscreen-phones)... no idea why this is shown... maybe because of the bluetooth-pen?!
The power connector is in a weird place on the left side, not at the bottom.
I'll post more when I know more.

So, your dream finally came true . Good for both of us.  I thought you're waiting for the 6681? Btw, what apps do you have and what is the firmware version of your phone?

Well... the 6681 isn't that different...
And I had the opportunity to get the 6630 now, so I did.
Apps: the standard which came with the phone and some which I always install on my phones.
FW: 2.39.152
I've got no complains so far.
New tests:
Real Player:
Great... it plays the .3gp-files now and it can play .rm-files in fullscreen!

Like the city map of my city... I get lost easily
Smartmovie
FExplorer
English-Germany dictionary
More I don't need usually.
Great... I've got the (in my opion) best (and most popular) contract of my provider... and it doesn't support UMTS... the cheap contracts do... I hate it...

Thanks
OK, some more "tests I did...
The camera makes great pictures on sunny days, when it's dark they lose much quality. Indoors it is ok, but can't compare to a real digi-cam (I guess this would take some more time). But so far it's ok.
I can't browse the gallery when listening to mp3s.
Also the gallery ignores every folders.
But I started to love the Photomanager. It allows me to quite well to browse my pictures.
Hot Swapping is nice, the phone recognizes when the cover of the MMC slot is opened, ends all programs running so it can do no harm and I can change the card without the risk of killing my card.
But swapping the card isn't that easy for my clumsy fingers

My contract isn't 3G compatible
I've got the most popular contract of my provider and it doesn't support 3G
    
(there is no word to descripe my anger...)
As I've seen even my 5 Euro WAP GPRS flat fee would cover UMTS via the phone
I'm so screwed...
I can't wait to use it... I will test the SIM card of my second provider I use, maybe they've got 3G support for me.
But the phone is soooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet
I  it
The phone is fast as hell... but I don't see any big chances from Symbian OS v7.0 to v8.0.
