Nokia 6682 review

Oct 06 2005 - 12:00 AM ET | Cingular, Nokia, Review

Nokia 6682By Jon Gales -- Nokia's 6682 is the new flagship Series 60 smartphone for the US market. It was recently launched on Cingular Wireless, making it one of the most easy to obtain smartphones in America. We got a few weeks of quality time with the handset and have plenty to say. Read on for the full review.

Note: The 6682 is the American version of the 6681. Both phones are based off the 6680 which is a 3G handset that won't become available in the US. Any talk of features about the 6682 can be read as if they were for the 6681.

Construction/design

Series 60 phones are a lot of things... Except small. The Nokia 6682 continues the trend though not to the degree of some past handsets. The handset is wider than most, see the photos at the end of this review to see this for yourself. For a real-world comparison, it's about a tenth of an inch wider than the Motorola RAZR (which is itself a wide handset--that's one of the reasons that it is so thin).

Construction wise the handset feels very solid except for the sliding lens cover which I found cheesy and too thick. There is a silver colored door that holds the memory card in. I found that opening this was a bit tedious, but since you don't change memory cards too often this isn't a big deal.

Reaction to the design fell in two camps: love it or hate it. The color is unusual for a phone and is evidently divisive. Personally I think the phone looks sharp, but as they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I found the keys a bit small and close together, but after a few days I adjusted and was able to text with pretty normal speed. However I think they could have expanded the keypad somewhat if they made the soft keys a bit smaller--they are huge in comparison to the other keys on the phone. But at least the keypad is in a standard design, unlike some other models in Nokia's past. If you have large hands make sure to play with the 6682 in a store somewhere before buying it.

Reception, battery life

Nokia is known for great reception and the 6682 didn't disappoint. I didn't have any dropped calls and was able to get a signal everywhere I went. Voice quality was very good, both in my ear and on the end (according to my friends at least). The speaker is also very loud which is a nice plus, though my young ears don't need a loud speaker unless I'm in a noisy environment.

Battery life was exceptionally strong for a smartphone. With many of today's phones you can expect a few days of battery life (as features increase battery life decreases) but the 6682 will probably last your work week. I wasn't too heavy on data usage which is typically heavy on power but the 6682 definitely out lasts previous Series 60 phones

OS, Navigation

Since the Nokia 6682 is a Series 60 handset it will feel familiar to users of past models. However it's running Symbian 8.0 which many users will have no experience with. The UI has been refined somewhat and there is a new feature that lists a limited number of applications on the home screen of the phone, instead of just blank space (this feature can be turned off though).

The great part of Symbian is of course its ability to run third-party applications. Nokia included a few onto the phone (more on this in a bit). If you've used a Series 60 handset in the past you'll dive right in. If not, it will take a little while to grok, but it's a really great platform.

Speed wise the 6682 performed well, not blazing fast but compared to some past models very speedy. You can keep several applications open at once so going back into already open apps makes the phone appear really speedy.

Camera

The camera performs well for megapixel resolution. I'm a bit spoiled by Sony Ericsson's 2 megapixel camera module (that also has autofocus) so I wasn't blown away by the quality, but it's superior to most other camera phones. However, I accidently deleted the photos after sending my unit back to Nokia so there are no example photos attached to this review.

Videos are stored as 3GP files and are only limited by available storage.

Included apps

Nokia included a lots of third party applications, but many of them were demos. With a high-end handset it's mildly annoying to open an application and realize that you can only open it a few more times before buying it. One example is software from VoiceSignal that does voice-to-text.

However, the Opera web browser was included and it's not a demo. If you're a Series 60 user, Opera is a must. Just a plain great mobile browser. Especially when used with EDGE like on the 6682.

Another included application called QuickOffice is able to open popular file formats like Word, Excel and PDF.

Syncing, transfer

Syncing over Bluetooth was flawless--I use a Mac and iSync was able to sync without any extra effort on my part. The Bluetooth support in general is robust,--the phone is able to maintain multiple connections (I have heard up to 5) which comes in handy if you're a Bluetooth headset user.

USB works as well, though I wish Nokia made the phone able to charge over USB. As a frequent traveler I like to keep extras at a minimum--charging via USB is a nice time saver for me.

Likes

The Nokia 6682 is a feature packed handset, there are lots of things to like so it's hard to nail down. The screen is great, more colors than previous Series 60 phones I have used, but having EDGE has to be my favorite feature. I'm not too heavy on data, but it's nice to not wait around. In case you were wondering, most of my data use is for stuff like price comparison, tracking flights and reading text only news.

Gripes

Like most Series 60 handsets, the 6682 is a bit larger than most people like. It's not as big of a clunker as the Nokia 3650 (one of the more popular Series 60 handsets in the US), but it's no light weight.

The 6682's use of DV-RS-MMC memory is limiting as these cards are hard to find and more expensive than comparable media, especially SD or miniSD. Nokia vowed to begin using SD and made good on that promise with the 3250, but it would have been nice if this had happened earlier.

Verdict

I loved my time with the Nokia 6682--it's a powerful well designed smartphone with a reasonable price. If you are looking for a feature packed handset this handset should definitely be on your short list of considerations.

The Nokia 6682 is for sale through Cingular for $299. LetsTalk is selling it for $249.99 after a $50 rebate.

I bought this phone when it first came out and love it! Everyone should get it. I really was impressed with the signal quality, usually my house is a big deadspot.


Sean Oct 06 2005

I don't agree with your point that MMC is expensive and hard to find.
As you can check at Online price, there is no price difference and actually it is cheaper at some site.

Even you can purchase card with Contents pre-loaded from JustRams and ROKplayer.


Sean S. Oct 06 2005

I bought the 6682 at a local Cingular store and returned it after a few days. The camera lens cover makes the phone feel really cheap, and it kept sliding open when I put the phone in and out of my pocket.

Plus, the phone is just too big. I'm used to a Sony Ericsson T637, so this thing felt just huge. For $300 bucks and the extra size, I felt like it didn't do much more than my T637. Sure it has EDGE and you can install 3rd party apps, but the T637 does email, phone book, calendaring and synching just as well, in a smaller package, and faster.


AleX Oct 06 2005

The phone is awesome. I even type this text sitting in a subway train on the way to the office - what can be more cool?
I like this phone a lot. It's my first smartphone and i used to try nokia 6630 when my friends came for a week from ukraine - must tell you 6682 works faster , getting less bugs and more convenient to use.
I bought it more to try edge coverage and speeds in new york and it sucked - it's not a phone fault but cingular's network tech's drama. As i was trying to listen to an online radio 32k/bit via real player that comes standard the sound was breaking and gaping even i was standing still.
And guite another problem i have right now - even cingular is unable to unlock the phone. I need to travel to europe and wanted to bring my phone with me. So after calling twice customer care people still can't give me a sequence to unlock it - saying unlock department is not responding to their emails . Sounds like a baby talk ...
I guess that's all i wanted to say. Ah, yeah - i blog from my phone , so you can see camera pics quality on my web site www.In2box.Com

inhibitech Oct 09 2005

This phone ROCKS! I like it so much I don't even take it out the house and my girl is jealous of it.


Joseph Oct 09 2005

I think that this phone is very well made because of all of the features that this phone has. I would recommmend this phone to people that want to use and douldload things on the interenet. IF you are a programar and you dounload things of microsoft web such as the free trail of asp.net visual 2 this would be very affective because you can walk away from your work desk and go out and use a USB connection you can dounload that on there and have your computer with you. THere are also games such as Minnsweeper, Solitare and other features. There is Microsoft word and powerpoint. They have even put a icon on there that you can go to msn chat rooms. ATvantages from the treo is they have better color on the web. IF you have any extra time and you are looking at a PDA I would suggest looking at the Samsung i730. Right now the they have the PDA 100$$$ off so good luck with finding your PDA!

Bagus


Chung Lai Oct 11 2005

I love ere, gentleman, this fone is wappin, and when i swung it out, yeah, my mates though it was sweeeeeee. I said it made calls and played a rang'a'tang tang garage music, yeah, sweeeee, spice girls and all.


Lewis Oct 19 2005

Great phone. Lots of features. Lacks IR. When the phone is turned off, it looses the phone log. Nokia says it is the SIM card. Having a hard time trying to use the voice dial feature.
Cingular sucks compaired to AT&T. No one there has a clue.


NateMedina Oct 22 2005

I have gone through two of these phones, both of them keep changing my send caller I.D. from "yes" to "set by network" which does not send my number. I have had the send button not work until I rebooted the phone which meant I couldn't place or receive calls.

With the first phone; Nokia told me that this was not normal, however the second one does the exact same things. Oh yea and what is this "packet data message that keeps poping up?

Nokia's horrible customer service wants me to mail the phone back to them so I don't have a phone for two weeks while they try to figure out what is wrong. While I know from my own experience that Nokia phones have a superior reception over Motorola at least Motorola's customer service will send me a new phone so I am not out while they fix the troubled unit.


freak Oct 29 2005

This is the best phone i ever used after N9300.
I didnt like N9300 because of the size.
I have tried N3660, N6620
But so far this is the best phone i have ever used.
Pros:
-Series 60 symbian OS(dont need to xplain more)
-THis is so fast ,the menus open quickly.
-Then lots of third party, highest for all nokia phones.
-Theres so many games, which look so good when u play.
-Playing with other people over bluetooth is fun.
-Excellent bluetooth strength(i know this because, my freind was in other class and i was in other which is 2 classes away,still we were playing games during class, really fun)
-Camera flash is the best ever.
-so is the camera.the best of 1.3 mp available.
-PC suite software is a breeze to use.
-MP3 player!!! really loud volume.rox
-real player is also really good.
-movie editor in the phone itself!!!
-movie length unlimited (provided u have the capacity)(the length is dtermined automatically depending on memory)
-fastest web access ever.
-one of the best browser(opera)
-word, excel and power point in the phone it self!!(no need to xplain more about this cool feature).
-reads .pdf files(Adobe)
-print pictures directly from the phone(usb cable connects directly to printer).
-cool themes available for download.
-virtually scratch proof body.
-auto screen brighness adjustor.
-best battery life ever(i excessively used the camera,bluetooth, usb connection and internet, still battery lasted for abt 4.5 days.)
-excellent voice clarity(as always, NOKIA)
-Speakerphone very good.
-hot swap memory card(anything better than tht??)
-excellent signal strength(my room is generally low signal, but now i have full siganl)
-so many more pros(but doesnt come to mind at present)

cons:
-small keys(takes a while getting used to)
-expensive to use all features with CINGULAR!!!
-camera shutter should be sturdier.
-preinstalled should be full!!
-a small bug- erases logs when rebooted(nokia will surely fix it)
-Thats basically it

Bottomline-GET IT while its cheap(about $100-200)
Buy Directly from nokia.com or if u can get it from somewhere cheaper


OLIVER Nov 28 2005

I was about to upgrade from RAZR to NOKIA 6682, however, when I called cingular customer service to order the phone, I was told that they took it out on the shelves due to software problem. Any comment? Thanks.

OLIVER Dec 02 2005

I just found out today that CINGULAR took all all NOKIA 6682 on all their stores/outlets until further notice due to sim card/interface problem.


the optigod Dec 15 2005

I got this phone when it was first released through cingular. I love this phone, it does so much... however the bugs are driving me crazy!! the call log never stays, some freezing, packet data messages (connects by its self), the phone restarts about 3 times a day (especially with a bluetooth connection.) I called cingular and they offered the RAZR as a replacement WHAT A JOKE!! Nokia wanted me to send them the phone and be with out... great phone but what a mess.. cingular and nokia dropped the ball man.


pampilo laquindanum Dec 20 2005

pam jr dec. 20,2005

please help me how to re-install the real player on my nokia 6682 phone,cause i delete the real player on my phone.

thank you so much! in advance
merry x'mas and happy new year...


brian Murray Jan 02 2006

i like cell phones. theyre cute and small. once i took a picture of myself to send to someone. that was a good day. what is nokia? thank you.


Justin Jan 03 2006

i use the 6682 i think it is a great phone you really have to get use to the features.. It takes a little practice to find out where everything is but once you do the phone is so simple.. I sell cell phones and this so far seems one of the simpler phones to cell. I sell more of these than blackberrys..


kyler Jan 03 2006

I bought my 6682 direct from Nokia and have since found that it is NON-BRANDED and therefore will not operate on Cingulars Mobi-tv streaming live video. Cingular says Nokia has to load the necessary software into the phone and Nokia insists Cingular has to make the necessary corrections. Neither one of them wants to be helpfull or has a lick of sympathy for this problem. Cingular was out of stock, so I purchased from Nokia. How could a regular guy like me know the difference between a BRANDED and a NON-BRANDED phone????? Nokia sold this as a exclusive to Cingular, why would I suspect that it would not work fully on the Cingular system?? I got stupped...


Anthony Jan 22 2006

Hey all, as many of you said, LOVE this phone. If you have unlimited internet their is a program that basically gives you XM Radio for free. Called VIRTUAL RADIO. Go check it out!

Anyway, I if anyone knows how to get ride of the Cingular logo in the top right, I would love to hear it, I have been trying all night to find a way to kill that stupid thing.

Thanks and check out my above Podcast, you'll like it!!!

I was wondering if anyone knew why my phone will shut itself off. This happens every few days and when i turn it back on i gotta input the location, date and time. Otherwise love the phone, thanks for the info if any of ya can help


Chase Cantrell Feb 01 2006

Is the cingular version of this phone still have problems? email:newyorkny2@hotmail.com


Becka Feb 28 2006

This phone, i soon found out..is scarce here in Tulsa..even cingular stores do not sell them only as company bonus,anyhow..Lots of features(a 128 mmc would have impressed me more)a litter of bugs! ie; freezing,difficulty w/voice dial,ghostly packet data connections regardless of command..Send button not consistent.If it weren't 4 these miscues.. I feel my money was well spent.


T C Feb 28 2006

I think the Virtual Radio software is great, despite its original design to limit you to its own radio streams. Of course, their site indicates they will add any stream that is out there, "just ask". Unfortunately when I asked they turned me down, 'cause I was not good enough, or big enough.

So, I decided to make it work despite being turned down.

Here is a link to instructions on making Virtual Radio play any stream from shoutcast (to include your personal stream).

Of course in addition to what the Virtual Radio software has to offer.

@ kyler
thats not why mobi tv wont work with...cingular is telling you crap. the reason is that the 6682 is the non 3G version (for US) of the 6680, which also explains why its cheaper. for mobi tv, you need a 3G phone, eg. 6630, n70,6680


ben Mar 12 2006

I love the phone and, just for the record, dave's a fag.


arlyn Mar 16 2006

@ace
That's not true, I have a 6682 which I bought from cingular and I can use the mobi tv feature with no problem.

Also, cingular has this phone back in stores, the problem was with the sim cards, the old, white-backed simcards are what cause the sudden shutoffs, logging problems, and reset of them when the MMC is ejected. The new simcards that fix this have a blue back, if you stop into cingular, they will give you a new sim to fix it.


arlyn Mar 16 2006

reset of them = reset of theme


leo Mar 18 2006

OK LOVE THE PHONE
I have a mac, and I've been using VPC and ISYNC.
In VPC, I downloaded PC Suite from Nokia. It seems to be having problems with the actual program. The pages seem distorted, and it's not letting me connect with my phone.
Now ISYNC worked great for transfering from ICal, and contacts. However I would prefer if there were a way to transfer music, pictures, videos, and other things. Any Idea on a solution.


Joe Mar 27 2006

Just got the phone... has anyone figured out how to unlock the phone yet? I'm headed to Singapore on Friday and wanted to know if I could use a local SIM from a Singapore company.


Randolph Mendez Apr 25 2006


Hi my friends, Im so in love wih my Nokia 6682, im a medical doctor in Mexico. The only thing that i think is bad about the phone its the price, becuse here in Mexico the store price its almost 700 dollars; anyway, i think its a very nice device, and I really love it!


Roger May 08 2006

You can transfer files to Mac by finding the item on the phone and then in options "sending via bluetooth"... they'll show up in the folder designated in your Mac bluetooth setup... you can also load the mem card on a standard card reader and browse it on the Mac, but on my 64M card from Cingular, it won't work right... but don't know if it was the Mac or something else that messed it up... anyway, I bought a 1Gig card and transferred everything via a card reader on a PC and it's ok now... but haven't dared load it on a Mac yet... I transfer files via the bluetooth method above.


Frank May 11 2006

Does anyone know how to get the programs from the memory card? I accidently reformat the memory card and now I lost some of the programs. And I was wondering if a gig MMC is okay to put in the Nokia 6682 phone.


nathan May 13 2006

a 1gb card works fine, dont buy from nokia, rsmmc cards are too expensive there, got 1gb for $35. having problem with voice dial, the feature seems to not be installed, cant add a voice tag to contacts.


Frank May 13 2006

Nathan..where did u get the card for $35? I was thinking of getting a Kingston MMCM/1GB 1GB MMC Mobile 1.8/3.3V Memory Card for $38.08 from a site called Always Lowest. Would this be okay for my phone? Cause I talk with a person from Nokia and they say not to put anything over 256mb.


jabari phillip May 15 2006

hey i need some help..i need a memory card 512MB or 1G for my 6682 ...does anyone know where i can get one that will work..for a good price..


Frank May 16 2006

Does anyone know how I can retrieve my QuickOffice application and snake game? I don't know what I did but its gone. Can anyone help me?


saad May 16 2006

When I plug it into my computer with the USB it gave me, whenever i try transfreing something onto it, it says "connection lost"

Adam May 17 2006

I am thinking of buying the Nokia 6682 (unlocked) and use it with T-Mobile. I want to load a poker program (pokerroom.com, Java program/third party) onto the phone so I can play online with live players.

Has anyone used this program on the T-Mobile server? Do I need full internet access? Does it work well?

Thanks so much,

Adam

Michael May 18 2006

Wow, From having 5 razrs and 2 w600i's, I finally picked up the 6682. I am not having 1 regret. This phone is awesome! I am an average user, (v551, z500a, c1300, razr, etc.) and this phone was kind of confusing at first. But here are the pros:

The camera is good
The flash is bright
Not too big, and this is going from the RAZR
Awesome Screen
Awesome Signal, better than the RAZR
Good battery life for a smart phone (3-4 days)
and I constantly use it.
BlueTooth!
VERY fast internet
Memory expandable to 1 gig!
Can download themes free! (www.zedge.com)!!
I could go on and on but I wont!

CONS:
Small keys, but got used to it
OS can be kind of laggy sometimes
When in camera mode, sometimes I get the whole Memory Full please close some applications thing.
WAY to many keystrokes to get to simple things like Ringtones and stuff like that, it is a smart phone but here is an example:

To get to ringtones:

Menu, Tools, Profiles, Scroll to one, Options, Customize.

When the RAZR you hit about 2 buttons. But it is a S60 smart phone.

Final conclusion : best phone I have used!


Michael May 18 2006

Follow Up:

My call log does not remove when I power off my phone, but I just got it about 2 weeks ago. I guess the problem is fixed.

The Nokia software you can put songs and pictures on is easy to use and convinent.

one major con:

Menu, Tools, Profiles, Scroll to one, Options, Customize, scroll to Ringtones, scroll to one, options, scroll down, set as ringer.

But aside from the many keystrokes, too many folders and everything is crowded into some folders, and small buttons, it is a great phone

jbloggs May 20 2006

This is one of the greatest phones available. I won't repeat all the great stuff that everyone has already said, just let me say that its all true.

I bought a A-DATA 1GB MMC Mobile card (Dual Voltage) from NewEgg for 27.99+S/H and have loaded :-
- TomTom GPS navigation using bluetooth GPS Receiver (Sold separately)
- Mame emulator for S60 with which you can play several thousand original retro arcade games such as Frogger, Galaxian, Space Invaders, etc.
- Tones of Mp3 songs
- Room for plenty of photos ad video.

....and I'm just scraping the surface of what this phone can do.

My only concern is that I can't unlock it as easily as other Nokia phones, which is not that big of a deal since after 3 months of service I will just get the unlock code from my service provider.


Frank May 20 2006

jbloggs...how was the mmc card when you loaded it? did it give you any problems? So if you unlock the phone...that means u can call or used it from other countries. Can you teach us how to do that? thanks.


Shelveem May 25 2006

great phone! i wont repeat all the stuff...but only two problems...the back camera cover makes it look cheap because every time i take it out of my pocket it opens and then next thing is that when i enter the internet and then exit it its doesnt end the packets without me turning the phone off and then on...ive used a razr for 3 years and i decided to switch...this is great...still getting used to it


Jerry May 30 2006

Can't get my 6682 to work with the UConnect bluetooth on my Chrysler 300C. It pairs and dials but the sound will not come through the radio. thaks.


frank Jun 09 2006

Does anyone know how to remove the Cingular logo and unlock this phone yet? If you did, can you tell me how to do it. Thanks.


lauren Jun 10 2006

Can anyone tell me whether this phone has photo caller i.d.? Thanks.


mike Jun 14 2006

i bought this phone from a friend had trouble unlocking it, but figured it out any one wanna know how lemme know. this phone is great, it just hasss to many bugs, and is slow goin through programs


frank Jun 14 2006

Mike..how do you unlock the phone? do you know how to remove the logo yet?


Brad Wilson Jun 14 2006

For photo caller Id:

menu > contacts > select contact > options > Edit > options > add thumbnail

awesome phone!!!!


MIKE Jun 17 2006

the only way u can UNlock the phone RIGHT NOW is through cingular, cingular unlocks it through nokia, and the only way cingular well unlock that phone is if u bought it at full price or if u are a cingular customer at the end of your contract. iam a TMOBILE customer, so what i did was, i had bought it frm a friedn that bought it frm a cingular inside BESTBUY, but he only pay half the price since he signed a 2 year contract. so what i did was I WENT TO BEST BUY WHERE HE BOUGHT THE PHONe and had them print out a recipe for the phone since i dinit have one. the must have it in thier system that u bought it frm them in order to get it, and if u notice the recipe is a noraml printer paper with regular text font, nthg specail, I WENT HOME and re-typed the recipe but instead of putting the regular price my friend had payed which was 100 dollars i put in the retail price which is around 350 iam not sure, but look it up to make it look real, print it out make it look as close as u can to the orginal. go back to the BESTBUY and call cingular and have them send u to TECH support.

thats the same recipe copy as the best buy recipe copy, fix it up with your info, and make sure the IMEI is corrcet


Viz Jun 19 2006

Thank you Mike !!!!


Viz Jun 19 2006

Mike do you have the Fax number also to send this recipt? Do i have to call them before i fax it over as i dont have an active account with Cingular at this point my cousin has one i can use his in case its really important? and where should i put my e mail address to recive the code?. Thanks


mike Jun 20 2006

first u have to call cingular.. u dont need a account, just tell them u are a none cingular customer. and tell them to send u to TECH support. they well explain everything. they well give u a fax number. and they well take down your email address. but bascially write it on the recipe when u fax it... to aviod any mistakes. but the point is to pursuade cingular that u bought the phone full price and u have the right to the unlock code. if u mess up hung up and do it again.. u never get the same preson


Viz Jun 21 2006

Mike.. I called them and customer care said that they ll not transfer call to tech suport unless i have a running account with them.do u have the Fax number for Tech support or there is some other way to get tech support... TIA

I am looking for mame for this phone but cannot find it. The harmonicode website does not seem to be working. Can anyone point me to a place where I can download the eemame for the 6682?


alucard Jul 12 2006

I just called cingular and I told them that I needed to unlock my phone because I'll need to use it outside the US and all they asked me was when I was going to leave and 5 mins. later they told me that they are gonna email me the unlocking code within 5 days... I'll post back to let you guys know if it worked... It was quite easy!
Hope this helps...


m0 Jul 20 2006

BLeh... I tried calling cingluar for unlocking my phone. I bought it at full price. And they said if I am not a customer which I aint, they cannot unlock the phone. So what should I do now?

Chris perez Jul 25 2006

Hey Everybody,
Just picked up my nokia 6682, so far it's awesome. However, I've heard that people have sent entire songs from their itunes library on a mac to phones via bluetooth and set them as ringtones. Would anyone happen to know how to go about doing this for the 6682?

Thanks!
Chris


Chris perez Jul 25 2006

Chris again...if so can you e-mail Chrisperez82@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Hi If my phone is locked by other provider for exapmle rogers of canada can cingular still give me the unlock code for the 6682?

I have a 6682 its locked with Rogers, Rogers will not give out unlock code no matter what. Would cingular be able to give me an unlock code?

Thanks

I love this phone but I have a hard time to install the pc suite to my computer. It has a message: THE SOFTWARE YOU ARE INSTALLING HAS NOT PASSED WINDOWS LOGO TESTING TO VERIFY ITS COMPATIBILITY WITH WINDOWS XP". Therefore, I stopped the installation, and then went back to pc suit and kick the repair icon. Do you know that do I fixed it? Afterwoard, it asked me to connected the my phone with the PC thru Cable, but it can't connect. I tried to use my bluebooth but it was not successful. Please help me to reslove it, I feel very disappointed with the software. Thank you in advance. You can email to me at: saikiyo@hotmail.com


mark Aug 13 2006

just say continue anyway. it doesn't matter if it passed logo testing. there's a tone of software that microsoft hasn't tested. just do it. nothing bad will happen.

i have a 6682 and i forgot my lock code.. and now i cant acess my fone.. how do i unlock it ?


Juliette Aug 22 2006

Hi there, I have a Nokia 6682 handset from Rogers in Canada. I am moving to the US and would like to set it up with Cingular Wireless. Do you know if Cingular will provide me with the unlock code so I can set up my phone when I get there(the US)? That would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to purchase the phone again in order to keep the same model.

Thank you.


Chris Aug 25 2006

After listening to everyone talk about the 6682 I am going to buy one today from nokia's website. I don't understand how the phone costs $250 with a 2 year contract from cingular, but I can buy the phone unlocked from nokia for $300. I can upgrade my phone in November, but I don't want to sign another 2 year contract, so I'm just going to get the unlocked 6682 and have nokia send me the settings.


Ella Aug 26 2006

OKAY, so I love the phone but am having major problems with it.. so i went to change the color palette of the theme, and nothing happened.. does anyone know why?? THANKS!


Nelson Aug 28 2006

I love this smartphone. It does sooo much for me. To answer a question regarding the shutting off of the device and having to reset time, you can go into your clock menu, scroll down to auto time update, and click that on. Your phone should not be doing that. I suggest you take it in for repair. Another question, you cannot recover any information from the memory card after you refomat the card-thats impossible, theres no way. Also, if you want to to to ring tones, you dont want to go through a bunch of option, all you have to do is hit your power button, and customize it there. No cell phone carrier will provide the unlock code to another carrier, doesnt work like that. Here is a great site to get all the program for this phone. They have hundreds of software, and some free ones. The site is www.handango.com.

I have a 6620, and love it dearly, as a power user it meets my needs nicely. So when the wife, wanted to upgrade from her Moto v551, we looked at another 6620, but she wanted the 6682! BIG MISTAKE! All the problems that other's have had, plus she's a big MMS user, turns out that Cingular Orange doesn't have unlimited MMS like my business plan does with Cingular Blue does! So now she's on the hook for over $900 (she sent over 43,000 texts)
My 6620 has 12mb of ram, the 6682 only has 8, it should have at least 30mb!

Mark Sep 15 2006

Just got a 6682 from Amazon with a two year Cingular contract. The phone was free. I noticed that it's now 49.95 with a two year. That was close!

BUT, what I really wanted to say is that I am so glad that I AM NOW SET FREE OF VERIZON AND THE EVIL THEY CREATE!!!

All I ever wanted to do was to take a WAV file of the ringtone from the Presidential Hot Line from James Coburn's "Our Man Flint" movies (some of you may know it as the Austin Powers video phone ring, but it was actually borrowed from the 60's Coburn movies) and place it on my cell phone to use as it's ring tone. Would VERIZON allow that???!! NO!!!!! WAY TO PROPRIETARY! GREEDY! Heaven forbid they would allow someone to truly personalize their phone!

CINGULAR IS DIFFERENT! All I had to do was pop the phones MMC card into my computer's reader, transfer the file and....viola! Our Man Flint's ringtone is now on my phone!

Thank you Cingular!!!

P.S. The Nokia 6682 as of today, 9/14/06 has to be the hottest cell phone going. Bar none. Get away from the masses of Razrs (nice phone but everyone's got em'!). Buy a 6682!


pG Sep 23 2006

Suresh its not asking you for the unlock code because once you try the code 10 times incorrectly it is permanently locked to the Cingular network.


uma Sep 29 2006

helloo sir
i want the full detail about 6600 nokia mobile
my phone does not work gallery, bluetooth, menuand etc so please kind me give me solvation for thisa problem i have severly formated the phone but the same its happening
thank u sir


Fare Oct 03 2006

I just want to unlock my phone for fun. How can I do it? It is a good phone but when you install a new memory card you can not use the songs as a ring tone. You have to copy them to phone memory which is to small.

Hey all, I can't wait to get my Nokia 6682. eBay has brand new unlocked phones, with buy-it-now prices ranging from $250 to around $300+. I got mine for $269.99. I'm going to use it on T-Mobile and they have been great here in the NYC area in terms of customer service and setting up your unlocked cell phones, even if they aren't sold on their network. Anyone living in the NYC area can also get their phones unlocked at local phone shops...just ask around, you'll find one. ;)


James Oct 23 2006

Hi I just got the phone and does anybody know the code for unlocking it.
