Browser

Nokia's browser comes populated with all sorts of shortcuts to Nokia's mobile sites for downloads and information. Nokia also sends along a link to your carrier's homepage when you request for the phone to be configured via SMS from Nokia's web site. As we remarked before, the 6682 has impressive data speeds. Combine this with a browser that quickly and accurately renders mobile web sites, and browsing is a pleasure on the phone. In addition to WAP, the default browser is also capable of rendering simple HTML pages. However if you need to browse the desktop web, Nokia include a trial version of Opera on the memory card (in addition to about 10 other applications). Because the default browser is so capable, only the most serious of smartphone users will need to splurge for the full version of Opera.

Customization

Like most modern Nokias, the 6682 plays a huge variety of ringtones, including MIDI, mp3, AAC and a few proprietary formats. The included ringers are better than the standard Nokia fare but still disappointing when compared with other high-end handsets. There are a few half-hearted dance selections, some classic midi pieces, and a few samples like a crowd cheering "ooooooohh" as if watching fireworks. It is fairly easy to install and use your own ringtones or download your own to supplement the default selections.

As with the previous version of Series 60, this version supports themes which include home screens, menu colors, dialog boxes, status indicators and more. It does not, however, change the screensaver, which is always a clock with status indicators for messages, missed calls and more. Nokia only includes a single theme with the 6682, and while it is not bad, it does not provide much visual contrast for anyone who has less than perfect vision. Nokia includes a link to download more themes in the browser, however none are currently available from their site. There are a number of desktop sites which you can download Series 60 themes from and then install on the phone, should you find the default unsuitable.

File Management

There are almost too many ways to manage memory on the 6682, or on any Series 60 phone for that matter. The gallery application can be used to manage sound files, pictures and videos. There is a manager application that is used to install and delete programs from the phone and a file manager that can deal with almost every type of file. Other than the manager, each application can delete, copy, move, rename and send files via Bluetooth.
