Nokia 6682?

[JackAxe]

Anyone here using the Nokia 6682 (http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/6682)? If yes, can ye let me know about its reliability outside of Cingular's service?

I'll be ordering this phone tomorrow, so I probably should have posted this earlier. :o I found a new unlocked one for $289, so only $40 over wholesale.

And just to ramble:
Here's a few key reasons why I'm looking at this phone;
-Voice-dialing through a bluetooth adapter.
-Quad band. I need 850 Mhz support, or else I'll be without service when I head up north in 2 weeks.
-Supports Flash Lite 2.0. I need this for development. I do tons of Flash work and this particular phone is one of the few that can run it at the moment and I need to start working with this now.

I really want a Treo 650 and I could buy one now, but no VO through bluetooh, and no planned support for Flash Lite has pushed it from my list. I thougt the 700p would at least address the BT thing. :(

Blah.

Just to ramble to myself.

Well, I've committed blasphemy and ordered a non Palm phone. Anyway I bought a n70. It's not quadband, but the lower price (Which doesn't compute) and overall improvements were too much to pass up. Plus one reviewer stated that the reception was better than the 6682, which most already stated was excellent.

In a few days, I'll be able to start making my own mobile entertainment with Flash Lite 2. :)


BLah blah blah...

This will be my Nokia N70 blog/ramble. :)

I got my phone this afteroon. Overall it's the nicest phone I've owned. The sound quality and reception are better than I could've imagined. For a phone everything is as I would expect, menus and screens refresh instantly. Dialing a number takes just as long as any phone I've used. Overall it's a fast phone, so I'm not sure what kind of crack some peeps were smoking when I read their feedback reviews on other sites. I guess their other phone is based on a DuoCore. And even though the phone captures video at 15 fps, it can play it back at 30 fps. After some testing, I encoded a 540 kbit mp4 at "30" fps of "Ratatouille " trailer at 208x176, with black on the bottom and top, and it plays back without a hiccup and looks great for being so tiny. :D I chose the current bit-rate, becaue the internal movies it captures, playback at 560k with sound. The phone captures video at 352x288, and then has to resize it for playback, so it probably helps that I encoded my video to the screen's resolution.

Blah. Anyway. I'm buying my developer version of Flash Lite 2.0 tonight. Eventually this thing will pay for itself by many many fold, even though it's a write off :)

Ahhh, I finally have voice-dialing that works. :)

I'm glad you like the phone :). The Nokia N series is a really nice line of phones. As soon as I get the spare money, I'm buying a N80.

[JackAxe]

The N80 wasn't on Adobe's Flash Lite 2 list, that's why I didn't look into to it. :D I would like its larger keys and the wifi would be nifty. :)

The one thing I would change about the N70, is its memory card. It uses MMC, which no one carries locally now.

I'd like to buy the N70 for pretty much the same reasons; Where did you get it at that price? The only thing I would be missing from that phone is wi-fi. Nokia N80 has wifi but comes with Flash lite 1.1... I am a bit tired of giving money to phone operator go online with the phone! Is there a way to add wifi to the N70 (maybe through blue tooth? I don't know). Or maybe there is a phone with wifi and Flash-lite 2.0
Thanks
