Can anyone confirm how many phone book entries are allowed on the Nokia 6015i? On one website I'm seeing 500 entries plus 250 contacts (not sure what's the difference) ... and on another website I'm seeing only 250 entries. I went to a Verizon store....I called the customer service number and no one seems to know for sure. Someone please help before I go out and buy this phone. Thanks!

It can hold up to 250 contacts, with multiple entries per name (contact) meaning you can store a couple of phone numbers, e-mail addy, and other info onto each contact. Many people are getting the phonebook capacity confused with the 3589i (which holds up to 500). In addition, you can store up to 25 voice tags. Hope I helped!

Thanks for the help. It seems that this "new" phone is a lot weaker than it's older counterparts. My boyfriend has an older, non-color Nokia that store 500 contacts with multiple numbers for each contact, plus his phone records memos up to 3 minutes while the 6015i only records 30 seconds. Plus the talk time on the 6015i isn't very long. Can someone explain what makes this new phone so great (other than it's in color)? I'd rather have a non-color, non-camera phone that has good reception, lots of storage and long battery life.

true, some features of the Nokia phones are stripped down a little, but they had to free up memory for two reasons: For one, the new 6015 has a neat feature called "Timed Profiles". As you may or may not know, Nokias have "Profiles" that let you customize each one to a different ring tone, etc... What the "Timed Profiles" featurs does is, well, just that. It lets you set a time for the selected profile to shut off and go back to "Normal". This is a good feature for those who go into a meeting and turn it on silent, but then forget to turn it back to normal after your meeting. The second reason they freed up some memory is to hold the software additions for the speakerphone. Also, keep in mind that the 6015 is an entry level phone. Entry leve...

thanks vzw22 for your help on this. is there an alternative to the Nokia 6015i for Verizon customers if I don't want a flip phone and I don't like the Kyocera? The Kyocera and the Nokia 6015i seems to be the only non-flip phones available to Verizon.

well, you have the Nokia 2285 (no color screen), Nokia 3589 (older, looks like the 6015 is it's replacement), Kyocera 414 (again, older, looks like the new 404 will replace this model), and that's just about it. I personally would go with the 6015. Kyocera's are pretty good, and I know that Nokia has gotten a bad rap over the past few years with it's CDMA program, but I really think Nokia has come around in the past year or so. We don't really have a lot of complaints about the Nokia models anymore, and I actually do like that 6015. I am personally a flip phone kind of guy, but if I had to choos a non-flip, I'd probably go with the 6015.

The Nokia 2285 and 3589 are supported by Verizon? Can I buy it from their website or store? Or, do I need to go to an "authorized dealer"? Thanks again, vzw22!

Yeas, they are VZW (CDMA) phones. The 2285 is, to the best of my knowledge, no longer in the corporate stores or online, just some agents. The 3589 is still offered online and at some agents (not sure about the corporate stores). Reguardless, I'd go with the 6015 before the 2285 or 3589. The 3589 is ok, but the 6015 is newer. And the 2285 is older and is only about $10 less than the 3589 and 6015. The 3589 and 6015 are worth the extra $10.
