Review: Nokia 6682
Calls
There are dedicated send and end buttons. These come in handy not only during phone calls, but also in applications where the send key will send a message, for example. Despite the fact that the 6682 is a smartphone, making calls is an obvious affair, as are other call-related functions. A double tap of the send key works as redial and the send and end keys also assist in call waiting navigation. During a call, the right softkey activates the speakerphone, while the left provides access to an options menu that includes mute and other functions.
Contacts
As with most modern phones, the 6682 stores contacts in the application and not on the SIM card. When starting the contacts application for the first time, the phone will ask to copy the contacts from the SIM. Alternatively, contacts can be synced from a computers. Each contact card can store almost any type of information. They can store multiple phone numbers, email addresses and even physical address. Unfortunately, the contacts application is much better at storing this information than displaying. There is no contact summary card, so one must scroll through field names and the corresponding entries to see anything. This is especially annoying for contacts with multiple numbers and addresses.
The contacts application also lets you easily add a voice tag, one touch dial position or customized ringtone, from the options menu. You have to select a contact, select edit and then go to the edit options menu to add a photo for caller ID - which seems unnecessarily complicated. In addition to the native voice dialing system, which has to be trained, Nokia includes a trial copy of a speaker independent voice dialing application from voice signal on the memory card.
When viewing the contacts list, you can jump to a contact by starting to type the name using multi-tap. The application sorts over more than just the first letter, and sorts over both first and last name, eliminating the endless scrolling which often plagues most contacts applications.
