Nokia 6682
Rated 4.0 out of 5 The 6682 is Nokia's latest Series 60 smartphone for the U.S. market. It is based on the 3G-capable 6680, which is available in some other parts of the world. The triband GSM 6682 will work on both of the U.S. network frequencies (850 and 1900Mhz) as well as on the 1800Mhz GSM band used in many other places in the world. The 4.6-ounce (131g) handset is a bit large, but one can forgive that in light of the 6682's other features--like a video-capable 1.3-megapixel camera with flash, a RS-MMC memory card slot, a large 262k color display, and the ability to play stereo MP3 files when used with a headset. The 6682's keypad is equipped with the standard array of keys and then some. Dedicated menu, edit, and clear buttons straddle the somewhat cramped, but still usable, numeric keypad and softkey buttons. The 5-way directional controller that sits directly below the display is comfortable to use as well as accurate. On its side you'll find a small chromed door that conceals the hot-swappable memory card slot. The back cover of the phone conceals the battery compartment and has a protective slide that is linked to the camera. Sliding the cover open reveals the camera and starts the camera--even when the keypad has been locked. As a Nokia Series 60 smartphone, the 6682 has a vast array of both commercial and freeware/shareware software that can be installed. These applications range from games to e-mail applications to VPN support. This latest version of the Series 60 user interface adds what Nokia calls the Active Standby display. The Active Standby display is something akin to the Today screen on a PocketPC device, showing current tasks and calendar appointments, as well as a user-configurable set of icons that act as shortcuts to commonly used applications. You still have the option of using the old standby screen, though, in which case the four directions on the d-pad controller can be used as shortcuts in lieu of the icons. If you are into messaging, the 6682 will let you hook up with both IMAP- and POP-based e-mail accounts right out of the box. SMS and MMS picture messaging is also available, and all of the message types are wrapped in one of the best all-around messaging apps available on a mobile phone today. While the messaging app is good, the contacts manager in the 6682 is even better. Plus, you can use the freely available Nokia PC Suite software to sync up your 6682 with your desktop computer so that your contacts, calendar appointments, task list, and notes are available when you are away from your computer. Nokia claims that the 6682 lasts for up to 11 days of standby time, but that claim is very optimistic. With any kind of usage at all, you should expect no more than 3 or 4 days of standby time. However, we did manage to get 6.5 hours of talk time out of the 6682, more than 50% better than what Nokia claims it is capable of. Overall, the Nokia 6682 is great phone. There is a lot of software available for the Series 60 platform, and combined with all of the goodness that is baked into the 6682, you end up with what is simply one of the best smartphones available anywhere today.

a good and honest review doesent just give the pro`s or the cons..but gives both, So here it is
Pro`s
1)Nice fone, clear calls, good reception.
2)good camera, more so with the 6X zoom that can be used after taking the snap, can adjust brightness, has a flash, timer, night Mode, can also take snaps in a sequence.
3) Can Sync calender and notes..etc..with outlook.
4) Converter works pretty good.
5) have a 1 gb card with over 700 mb of mp3/images/videos/apps, works fine..no lags..
6) Mp3 player is pretty good, sound through attached headset is awesome.
7) got a nice secure wallet app.
8) can write and deploy your own java app..easily..or a game( which i did)
Cons:-
1) accesing multiple apps ..can make the phone hang at times.
2) Installing apps like google maps on fone or memory card...really eats the battery..from 3-4 days to 1 or 1.5 days.
3) photgraphs..call the first one abc..rest by default get named abc1, abc2..so on.
4) adding a password to protect the SIm/fone if fone is lost..adds about 2 mts to the startup time.
5) Nokia doesent give any free apps..like for word and excel free with the fone have to buy and install it ..99.99..additional.
6) Only uses " dv " rsmmc.
7) Can only schedule one alarm..multiple alarms..needs software available for 19.99(separately)
8) doesent have infrared:- for those who wonder why does he want it...if present then can install a software to turn the fone into a remote for ur tv. |

I bought this phone when my Nokia 6230 bit the dust. I'll be returning the phone this week. My review is biased in the sense that I am an AVID cell phone user and I use my phone primarily for text messaging, calendar, alarm clock, camera, and music. Here's the scoop:
Pros: works with third party software such as MobiTV and MobiRadio.
Large screen.
Camera has a high resolution and a protective cover.
Reception has been good.
Cons: small keys, need to click through too many menus to send a text message. The phone is just too slow! Clicking on a menu takes about 2-3 seconds to load each page - I guess I was spoiled with the Nokia 6230. Bulky handset - too heavy and big. Third party software is expensive with Cingular: I needed to pay 20 bucks a month for unlimited internet and then 10.00 per month for MobiTv, 10 more for MobiRadio. Alarm clock doesn't have the option to set the alarm for multiple days. The headset that ships with the phone has two earbuds and doesn't stay in my ears. Intermittent "out of memory errors" even after upgrading the memory card to 512 MB. Camera cover slips open often while holding the phone. If you miss a call and the person leaves a voicemail, you see a message saying "new voicemail" but only after you click ok, do you see the "missed call". I think that the order should be reversed "missed call, then new voice mail" OR a small voice mail indicator. The backspace or "clear" button is too small and awkward.
Hope this helps! |
| Amazing Nokia 6682 | Rating: 5 |
| I got this phone yesterday after a long search for a good phone with the features am looking for. I got instant liking to this phone and this is the best phone I ever had. MP3 player is fantastic. Comes with 64MB RSMMC card, which is insufficient for the features this phone is having. Atleast 512MB card is required. Camera and Video features are great and are above average which is more than sufficient for a cell phone. Though looks little bit bulky, the features it is having makes you forget that. Transfered some files thru bluetooth capability of my laptop into RSMMC, and connection is good without any interruptions. Amazon promptly shipped the phone once they got go ahead from Cingular. Cingular took 5-7 days to approve the connection. Signal reception is very good and till now didn't experience any dropped calls. There are so many features to explore in this phone. Overall this is a great phone to have at a steal away deal Amazon is offering. |

| Best phone I've ever had | Rating: 5 |
Having had several cell phones damaged over time, I got tired of always losing address books on my phones. I decided that I wanted to sync my information with my iMac. I carefully researched all Mac-compatible cell phones, and I selected the Nokia 6682. And I am absolutely glad that I did. This is by far the best cell phone I've ever owned. I've had 3 Nokia phones with BellSouth Mobility & Cingular), 1 Samsung (Sprint), and 1 LG (Verizon) before buying this one.
I was able to sync with my Mac on the first try, although it took 2 tries to get the two items as "trusted devices." I sync my address book, calendar, and to-do items effortlessly.
The buttons are a little small, but that is my only complaint, and that is a minor issue with me since I do mainly voice dialing. |
| AMAZON SUCKS | Rating: 1 |
| Don't ever order thru AMAZON... they will not ship and will take a long time.. They will just say that have not got CREDIT APPROVAL from CINGULAR... But I called Cingular and learnt that my approval was done 10 days back but these cheaters will delay because they don't have in stock. |

| I thought this would be a great deal, but it turned out to be utterly worthless. The car charger did not work at all and the earpiece would not even plug in. I did not plan on using the cover anyway so that is worthless to me as well. |
| Not compatible | Rating: 1 |
| Even though packaging indicates this is for the Nokia 6682, it definitely will not work with that phone |
