Nokia 6682 Unlocked Cell Phone with Camera Media Player MMC U S Version with Warranty Silver
Nokia 6682 Unlocked Cell Phone with Camera Media Player MMC U S Version with Warranty Silver
A smartphone with the accent on “phone,” the Nokia 6682 is a powerful, flexible device for people who want a phone that happens to do more than just make calls. The Nokia 6682 is the successor to the Nokia 6620 and the Nokia 7610, and it improves on both of them. Like the 6620 and 7610, it runs on the Symbian Series 60 operating system. Symbian Series 60, like Windows Mobile and Palm OS, has plenty of third-party software support; Symbian phones, however, typically focus more on phone functions than on messaging. As a phone, the 6682 is excellent. Sound quality is loud and clear both on the earpiece and speakerphone, and we easily connected it with Nokia and Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headsets. You can initiate voice dialing and even play MP3s through a Bluetooth headset. We created and assigned our own MP3 ringtones easily. The 2.2-inch, 176×208 pixel screen is very viewable, even in sunlight. The built-in e-mail client supports POP3/IMAP accounts with attachments. The Class 10 EDGE data modem, running at 108 to 120 Kbps, that is fine for Web browsing, e-mail, and streaming music.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great mobile phone
This is my second Nokia 6682. I bought my original one when then phone came out in 2006. A couple of the keys recently stopped working, so I went to find a new phone. I didn’t see anything on the market that had the features, quality and good design of the 6682, so I bought a new one from old stock. I love it.
Nokia has the best user interfaces on the market. You can re-arrange the menu to your liking, and you can put whatever function you want on the soft keys. Simply the best.
5 Stars It Just Works!
I have had this phone for over two years and some of the cosmetic finish has started to wear, but the phone works perfectly. It does have a learning curve because of its many capabilities, but it you are Nokia user, you will get comfortable relatively quickly. I have no trouble with the buttons and the T9 predictive text system makes text input as easy, or maybe easier, than using a full keyboard.
Besides as a phone, I use text messaging, web surfing, sending email, and taking pictures. I initially got it to work with Word and Excel files, but the screen is just too small. In a pinch it’s OK, but don’t expect to do much more than viewing files. I also have used Bluetooth headsets and they paired easily and work fine. I used this phone in Europe for voice, texting, and data with no problems.
Battery life has remained consistent at 4-5 hours of use. I do make sure that the Bluetooth and data connection are turned off if I’m not using them. This extends battery life even more.
I have had this phone for 2 years and I am currently looking to upgrade to a bigger screen, Wi-Fi, and 3G capabilities. I can count on one hand the number of times this phone has crashed or locked up. Well, maybe not on one hand, but infrequently enough that I can’t remember the last time.
If, or when, I do trade up, I will not discard the 6682. It will be a trusted backup because it just works.
4 Stars Best phone I’ve owned so far
I have currently owned this phone for 1 1/2 yrs now. For the first year I had absolutely no problems with it! This phone actually flew off the back of a car at about 50 MPH, broke in about 5 pieces, and went right back together and worked the same as it had before. I am a habitual phone dropper and tend to be very hard on phones! This phone has stood up to the worst and still has perfect reception. The main problems I have noticed in the past few months is that it will shut itself off at times. This can be very annoying when expecting a call or text. I would suggest that any applications you download and or any ringtones, should be saved to the memory card and not the phone memory. I downloaded a Suduko game about a year ago and saved it to the phone memory and just recently had to delete it from my phone because it used up all the phone memory. That was very disappointing. Although, I have the option of backing up my phone memory on the memory card and reloading the game from 2 weeks ago. The only downfall to that is that I lose all new data that I have incurred recently when I restore from the backup. Overall, I would definitely suggest buying this phone!
3 Stars mine has been a little flaky
I’ve had this phone for a year or so, and while I’m pretty happy with it’s functionality, it has always had some problems with crashing, spontaneously rebooting, or just spontaneously turning off, and these have worsened gradually with time. The camera takes OK pictures in really good light, but degrades very quickly in less-than-ideal lighting conditions… and the ergonomics of camera use are weird, IMHO. The battery life hasn’t held up too well over time either.
I’ve decided to upgrade to a Sony-Ericsson K550i Cyber-Shot. It’s smaller, lighter, has better battery life and is known for its reliability. The camera resolution is better, the camera ergonomics are better, it’s an MP3 player too. Worth the extra $50, in my book, at least for my needs. This phone isn’t bad – it’s served me well, and it will make a good backup, but I wouldn’t pay out of pocket for an unlocked replacement.
4 Stars RAM is the only limit to this thing’s capabilities
I’ve had this phone for well over a year now, and it is great, but not perfect. This thing needs more RAM: Like all s60 phones, “out of memory” issues can appear. However, with a little control, most issues can be negated. Opera, for example, will cause the phone to run out of memory after a while, however, Opera mini has most of the functionality of its big brother, and can be used for extended browsing. Multitasking is great, however some more powerful apps require undivided attention from the phone and will cause other apps to close. The camera is pretty good, as long as you don’t zoom, and video is better than expected. I bought the audio adapter to plug into my Bronco’s headunit, and have a 2GB card full of songs. When I go offroading, this thing is tucked away in the center console, placed on random. The sound quality is great. The headphones included were decent, but I never really like earbuds. The best part of owning this phone is the great programs available, most for free. If this thing had about 5x the RAM it does, and the newest version of Symbian, it would probably be my dream phone.
