Here's the thing: 😲

You have to understand that indirect stores like Radioshack won't have the phones until after a couple of months after direct Verizon stores get them. â˜šī¸ I'd keep asking your local vzw reps because they'll be the first ones to get them--

unless waiting for that extra $20 off from Radioshack is really worth your wait, I wouldn't even bother with that store. đŸ‘ŋ

I knew more about the phones, what's coming out and who had what--than what they knew! 😕

And the only thing I know is what I learned from Kindergarten and Phonescoop! đŸ¤Ŗ

Except that this phone is set to be available in indirect distribution before it hits corporate locations. 🙄

Is it because of the possible full Bluetooth? Because I see nothing else good about this phone. It looks like an old fashioned model, is boxy, has a VGA camera, etc.

I want it b/c it is somewhat professional looking (at least compared to the current phones verizon offers) and you can answer calls in speaker w/ the clam closed.

Other than the speakerphone answer with the flip closed and the full BT capability, I don't think it'll be any better than the E815. I have had NO problems with my E815, or any previous Moto phone, all have stood up to abuse, including dropping it on the ground 10 times in the first 2 months (my T730, that lasted 2 years without replacement even after dropping it 10 times). I think the E815 looks a LOT more professional than the Nokia, it looks a lot more sleek.

Because Nokia is infamous for making some of the best cell phones money can buy and the only ones Verizon typically offers from Nokia (if any, usually none) are the crappy little candy bar basic phones with little to no features. This one is a flip phone, bluetooth, speakerphone, nice looking etc with a camera (personally I'd prefer no camera, but...)

For us here in the PNW most cell providers have really poor coverage especially in rural areas and when you live in the PNW going into rural areas is pretty common for most people. The only provider here that has good coverage all the way around in this area is Verizon. So unless we want to significantly sacrifice coverage we're stuck with Verizon's crappy selection of cell phones.

My very fist phone in 1998 was a Nokia from Verizon. It was a flip phone and of course, analog. I wish I could remember the model number....seems like 252 or something???????? It was a good phone, I really like Nokia phones, just wondered what else was so special about this one.

Whoa.. Simply said, the MOto's voice quality sucks.. 100 sucks..

We have dozens of them our guys use and you can't understand what they are saying like you can on the Nokia or the Samsungs..

Moto's Voice D/A chip is horrible..

Just ask the people you talk to what they think..

It's okay if they are okay with it but it does stink..

We do alot of testing and the Moto's voice quality is aweful and has been for years.

The 6255i issued to metroPCS had some alarming hinge cracking problems. Uh oh!
