Best phone yet!
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.
Okay, before I even get started, let me preface this statement by saying that I work in a Cingular store and have had quite a few phones and have played with almost every phone Cingular has carried the last couple of years.
That said, this is, hands down, the best phone I've ever played with. Here's why:
It may not have a full keyboard or touch screen like the PDA phones do (i.e. Cingular 8125, Palm Treo) but it's also not as big and bulky and the predictive text makes typing even a semi-lengthy message or e-mail a breeze. If you do a lot of lengthy e-mails for business or something similar you might want to opt for a full QWERTY keyboard but for the majority of us that's hardly nessecary. Not to mention that this phone can perform pretty much any function a PDA phone can and, in my humble oppinion, is easier to use because the Symbian OS on the phone is far less complex than a Windows Mobile or Palm OS. It actually navigates as easy if not easier than a lot of other phones on the market so there's not much of a learning curve needed.
The screen on this phone is as clear and crisp as any I've seen and large enough to show off the 1.3 Mpix pictures beautifully. The screen is also wonderful for showing off the great videos the phone records in full, panoramic screen mode.
The hot-swappable memory card slot is great! I don't have to take my whole phone apart just to pull out the memory card when I want to add stuff to it which I do a lot because I love using the mp3 player built into the phone. I've got a 512M card in it and have about 100 full length songs, at least a dozen or so 30 sec ringtones, about half a dozen pictures and two or three games on it and they all run beautifully. The only thing some people might want to watch out for is that the phone will multi-task and leave some applications open if you just hit the end key to try and get out of them. With too many other apps running in the background the phone will have trouble opening more apps so be sure you actually exit rather than just hitting end.
Finally, the feature that will make or break a great phone is if it actually performs as a phone. The 6682 has no problems in this area. The speaker independent voice dial makes calling a breeze and once you're talking to someone it holds onto the signal tooth and nail. I was even able to take a phone call in the elevator of a local hotel and couldn't hear any dicernable difference from being outside in the open. Using this as a phone is another place where the size becomes a factor because the smaller size makes it a lot easier to hold while making calls.
