Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Built on the now-legendary Symbian Series 60 smartphone operating system, this mobile office companion continues Nokia's long tradition of delivering innovative, feature-packed handsets that work with you to help you get work done. With a 1.3 megapixel camera, support for EDGE high-speed data, a powerful music player, Bluetooth, push-to-talk capabilities and a whole lot more, the Nokia 6682 is a new powerhouse on the block.

Design
The 6682's gorgeous screen sports 176 x 208 resolution, as well as support for a whopping 262,000 colors. Just below the display is a five-way selection button that allows you to navigate and control the phone's menus and features, and the unit's internal antenna means there's nothing to snag or break off. The rear of the phone houses the 1.3 megapixel camera unit, which is protected by a nifty sliding cover. While the phone ships with 8 MB of embedded memory, An MMC memory slot allows you to expand it. The unit ships with a 64 MB expansion card.

Calling Features
The 6682's address book is only limited by the amount of available memory, and it can store multiple phone numbers, as well as physical and email addresses. Meanwhile, the 6682's built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included, as is a vibrating alert, and you can use your favorite music as ringtones. Ringer IDs let you assign specific ringtones to particular callers, while picture ID technology lets you similarly assign images or pictures to callers. You'll also get name-based voice recognition dialing to put you in touch with your contacts quickly. The phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible and, as mentioned, the 6682 also ships with push-to-talk capabilities, meaning you can have walkie-talkie communications with other push-to-talk subscribers in your contacts list.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
With support for the MMS (multimedia messaging service), the 6682 can send picture, video and text messages. When coupled with the 6682's camera, MMS opens up great opportunities for robust messaging. Instant messaging is also supported, and the phone ships with a built-in email client that supports POP3 and IMAP protocols, as well as Microsoft Office-based email attachments, and push email services.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the 6682. It supports the GPRS data protocol, as well as the new, high-speed EDGE wireless data service. When used with a carrier data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There's also a built-in web browser for wireless downloads and mobile web browsing. T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

The 6682 supports PC synchronization standards via USB or Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts, calendars and other data with your PC. Nokia's PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. You can also use Bluetooth to connect a wireless keyboard for efficient text entry. And because the 6682 is Bluetooth 1.2 compliant, it supports faster data rates and extended range when communicating with other Bluetooth 1.2 devices. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 6682 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. Plus, a wide range of applications are available for Symbian devices such as the 6682, such as mobile document editors, spreadsheet apps, and much more.

Imaging and Entertainment
All work and no play might make the 6682 just another smartphone. The built-in megapixel camera also features an LED flash for low-light shooting, and it can captures video clips (up to one hour in length, 176 x 144 resolution), as well as stills. When shooting stills you can take advantage of a 6X digital zoom, as well as night, and black and white modes. Nokia's XpressPrint technology allows direct photo printing from a compatible USB printer (cable included) without using a PC.

The phone supports playback of MP3 and AAC audio files, as well as streaming or locally-stored 3GPP and RealMedia video files, so you can use it as a mobile video and music player. Picture effects and custom screensavers, as well as backgrounds and themes, can be set up to fit your personality. And don't forget that the 6682 is a powerful gaming companion with support for Java and Symbian games.

Vital Statistics
The Nokia 6682 weighs 4.62 ounces and measures 4.23 x 2.19 x 0.86 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of digital talk time, and up to 11 days of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars A high-end phone with high-end features, January 13, 2006

This review is from: Nokia 6682 Unlocked Cell Phone with Camera, Media Player, MMC--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I'm reviewing the unlocked/unbranded version of this phone (not customized by a particular carrier).

First you should ask "is this the phone for me?" It's a complex phone with advanced features beyond just making and receiving calls and if you don't like reading manuals you should probably stay away. If you are unable to program a VCR you should probably stay away. If you don't have a need to synch your contacts and calendar with a PC, this phone and its size are probably overkill.

I upgraded from a Motorola RAZR and the utility of this handset is superior to that one in almost every way except size. Much like any higher-end Nokia the reception and sound/voice quality are excellent. The Symbian s60 operating system allows you to install any number of applications to suit your needs including advanced email applications, GPS navigation, web browsers, games etc. The menus are very responsive and switching between running applications is quite easy. Nokia also provides their Nokia PC Suite software for easily synching your contacts and calendar entries either through the provided USB cable or over a bluetooth connection should your computer support it. I've done all of this in the first two days that I've had the phone. Additionally Nokia's contact system is far superior to that of Motorola, collapsing all information for an individual into a single phone-book entry. On a Motorla every phone number, email address and other bits of information are in separate phone book entries which can make for quite a mess. Another great feature Nokia offers on this phone (as on many of their phones) is the ability to LOCK and UNLOCK the keyboard with two simple keypresses. This is quite useful if you tend to throw your phone into a book bag or pocket where you might accidentally call someone. If you are too lazy to take this simple precaution PLEASE DON'T BLAME THE PHONE! The camera takes adequate pictures in good lighting for a CELL PHONE. These are not images that you will blow up and hang on your wall but simply images that will successfully capture the moment, whatever it happens to be. It will not replace a competent digital camera, and phones on the horizon will offer better images. With an increased size DV RS-MMC the available memory for photos, applications, music and other files can be (at this time) increased to 1GB - I won't carry my flash MP3 player much any longer.

What the phone does it does very well so I give it 4.5/5 when compared with the other options available today that work on U.S. GSM carriers' bands (850/1900). I didn't give the phone 5 stars due to:
- the buttons are too close together, particularly the 2 which is just below the navigational button - I'll get used to this.
- the on-board RAM is a bit too small and can result in out of memory errors when using Opera's browser.
- the camera lens slide cover feels a bit flimsy and will require some caution to keep from breaking.
- picture quality could always be improved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget about N80 for a while., March 6, 2006

This review is from: Nokia 6682 Unlocked Cell Phone with Camera, Media Player, MMC--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I got this unlocked phone 2 weeks ago, and I LOVE it. To be honest, I don't like use the bluetooth headset for calling which is really weird like I'm talking to nobody in the street. So, I don't have any problem related to the bluetooth link.

I have to say, this is the best Nokia I've ever had because the battery cover is really tight! No kidding, I hate the Nokias I had mostly because of the slack back cover. I really HATE it. But this one is GOOD.

Frankly, I was looking forward the N80 which had been shaped as the flagship of Nokia this year. But, it keeps unpublished, so I got this one. four hundred buck price seems a little overpriced partly because it is just a updated version of 6630. BUT, this is a really well craft phone.

The camera slide cover is one of the most wanted design for all camera phones, but only very few models got it. It is the best way to protect, and it works fantastic on this phone.

However, the keyboard set is a pain in the ass. The arrange is so tight that I can barely hold this 400 buck baby tight enough when I'm typing. It loooks good though.

The battery life problem has been imporved, but it is definitely not good enough. But, it is better than N71, and much better than any Samsung.

I hate to say this but I guess Nokia is so mean to its customers. Several pre-installed softwares and games need to be registered (Paid) after purchasing. I'm not saying I shouldn't pay what I got, but I just consider that Nokia should be in charge of those.

The menu set is also a problem that some of the most used functions have been hidden inside the folders rather than the main menu, like the call history, even though it can be moved there. But, i'm just uncomfortable with that.

last but not least, the PC Suite is still so stupid that occupies a lot of space and ram but works like a giant useless idiot.

Finally, this is a fantastic phone. The only problem is, it's a bit pricy after all. Great design, great produce, great sound, great video playback.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Nokia Ever, January 25, 2006

The Great Buzzwami "Buzz" (Salem, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia 6682 Unlocked Cell Phone with Camera, Media Player, MMC--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I had an old Nokia 3650 whos reception was poor, so I switched to a Motorola v330. The Motorola for the same price was so primitive and crude compaired to the 3650 that I got a Nokia 6600, which is really a great phone. But then I saw the 6681 when it came out, saw the improvement in the screen specs and the camera and knew I had to have one.

I got used to the Nokia 60 series software and have no problem using it. I never got the hang of the Motorola software.

I read every review I could get my hands on and read what owners were saying about it before I bought an unlocked one and am using it with my T-Mobile service. The only reason I bought the 6681 over the 6682 was because I like the pearl white color better than the silver. I've taken mine to Cingular to compare it to the 6682 and the silver color just doesn't cut it. Nokia should have stuck with the pearl white.

I've got to tell you this is one fantastic phone. If it has a down side, I don't know what it is. Nokia has taken the 60 series software and gotten it just about perfect. They have improved the software with so many new features I couldn't tell you them all, but they have fixed almost every complaint I had with the 3650 and 6600 (they had basically the same software features). The 6681 is a huge leap forward.

The screen is amazing, it's fast, signal strength is the best I've ever had, the sound is like a wired set, you can customize the buttons and the new Standby icons to call up just about any feature the phone has. I am amazed how good the new ring tones sound, it's like a stereo.

I now have a full PDA phone in the 6681 and am constantly using the address book, calendar and calculator. It's so easy to call them up now using the Standby icons. I don't text message, so I have no complaints with the keypad.

The camera is okay (it's a PHONE), but it's got a flash that has remarkably improved some of my indoor shots. I use the bluetooth all day and it works like a charm for me. I have no problem with the battery life, I use my 6681 a lot and can go a couple days between charges.

It syncs beautifully with Apple's iSync and downloading pictures is a snap with bluetooth.

Not having a Windows PC I haven't been able to try out the music features or some other things it can do. Shame on Nokia for not having Mac software yet. I don't even know anyone who owns a Windows PC, so I don't know if I'll ever be able to use some of the features. There are some Windows machines at the office but I couldn't get them to recognize the Phone, so I gave up.

I can't tell you how much I like this phone. It's heads and shoulders above any phone I've seen and better than most of the PDA phones people have in my office. I don't know how Nokia is going to improve on this one, but I know I won't be switching phones for a long time.
