Review: Nokia 6682 Phone
The 6682 is Nokia's latest Series 60, now called simply, S60, Smartphone in the US. It's offered here by Cingular (though it's on a few months hiatus while Cingular and Nokia work on compatability with Cingular's 3G SIMs), and carries on the tradition started by the Nokia 3650, 6620, the N-Gage QD and most recently the stylish Nokia 7610. The 6682 is a phone first in terms of ergonomics and features, and second a basic PDA second with organizer functions, Outlook syncing and support for a strong selection of 3rd party software.
The Nokia is a triband GSM phone supporting both US bands (850 and 1900 MHz) as well as the 1800 Mhz band commonly used in Asia and somewhat in Europe. If you're a world traveler frequenting Europe, the lack of 900 MHz won't appeal to you, but for the rest of us, the triband radio will offer optimal coverage. The unit supports GPRS and the much faster EDGE standard for data, offers a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a dual voltage RS-MMC slot for memory expansion. Standard high end stuff. . . throw in a web browser that supports HTML as well as WAP sites, speakerphone, voice dialing and a set of multimedia applications that include LifeBlog, Nokia's answer to cell phone photo and video blogging, and you've got the 6682.
