My Nokia 6682

Once I discovered that I did not have the latest firmware version on my phone, I proceeded with the steps to upgrade it. I couldn’t find my DKU-2 USB cable to connect the phone to my PC, so I ordered one off eBay for $0.98 (+ $5 shipping). Once that arrived, I noticed that Nokia had released a new version of its PC Suite Software, so I uninstalled my previous version and installed the new Version 6.82. After installation, I had to restart my PC to enable my Nokia 6682 to connect to my PC via PC Suite. I then downloaded and installed the latest version of Nokia’s Phone Software updater (which is only available at their European website for some reason). After installation, my phone would no longer connect to my PC over USB, but a restart took care of that.

Now that all the software was ready, I backed up my phone’s memory to my memory card (via Tools > Memory > Options > Backup phone mem.). I launched PC Suite, connected my phone, and then started the Phone Software updater from within PC Suite (which took 2 tries to get it to fully start up for some reason). I then began the upgrade process, following all on-screen instructions. During the upgrade, there is a huge warning message instructing you to not shut off the phone or else face grave consequences. So once my phone shut off about 10% into the process and the installer hung, I was worried, to say the least. The progress bar did eventually move though, and once it finished, the phone turned itself back on. I then restored my phone’s memory from the memory card (via Tools > Memory > Options > Restore from card), and all was well with my newly upgraded Nokia 6682.

I’ve had the idea for this website for over a year now (before I even owned a Nokia 6682), but I did not get a chance to actually build it until now. Luckily, the phone is still a very powerful, useful device, so this site should hopefully still be useful to you. I’ll be posting links to articles, tips, and more, as well as providing my own advice and experiences to help you with your Nokia 6682. Enjoy!
