The saga continues, part 2...
Hi, all...
Just had an on-line chat with "James" at Verizon, a customer service guy. Apparently, the company is still playing dumb as to when the Nokia 6256i and the Moto Razr will be appearing. I also spoke to my friend, a manager of a Radio Shack outside of Washington, DC, who still has only the "dummy" for the Nokia, nothing on the Motorola, and no indication of when either phone is going to show up.
At this point, my attitude is, when it gets there, it'll be there. I have a bunch of friends who are very anxious for both of these handsets to make their appearance, particularly the Nokia. My best guess is that their marketing department is readying some mammoth promotional campaign, although I have absolutely no knowleddge of s...

Are you the one who said Verizon won' activate 6256s fo' people until Nov. 12th?
If so that'd seem to indicate a solid release date.

Okay, I'm starting to catch the bug for the razr, but with its lack(?) of expandable memory, isnt this just a glorified bluetooth v265?
...
OH GOD MAKE IT STOP!!! 😳
How about this... lets all pretend that no one ever said anything about the razr. Lets pretend that we never even heard of it, and when it does come out, we all can be pleasantly surprised! 😉
oh and this goes for the Treo 700 too! LOL...

Where do you put the expandable memory? the thing his thinner that the mini SD chips 😛 Well not quite but you get the idea. It has a better camera that the v265...And yes the only really thing the razr has going for it is that it's thing. noone said it was a high end phone just that it has a high end price and is thin.
...
No it doesn't. The last person was complaining that it doesn't and i was telling him it's because there is no room to put it in the phone 😛
...
Don't say that there is no room to put it in the phone, because the RAZR2 (not the v3x, the RAZR 2) that is coming to Cingular has TransFlash built in, and it is no thicker than the VZW version of the RAZR.
...
Yessir, I was the one who said that Verizon told me November 12 was going to be the first day they would officially activate the Nokes. What baffles me is that they seem to have absolutely NO information about the phone at this point. Is this attitude of "playing dumb" typical of Verizon's marketing strategy? I sold Verizon in the DC market when I was there, and was proud of it. But this posture they take of "we have no idea when we will get it" is rather infuriating. I sense there's some bad blood between Verizon and Nokia, or some sweetheart deals between the carrier and some of the other phone manufacturers (Motorola, LG, Samsung, Audiovox, and the rest). For a company sitting in the catbird's seat, to play fast and loose with their...

I think you're right. They been d***in' around with both those phones, nuthin' but delays and stonewallin' on the info. If it wasn't for this place and HowardForums doin' an end run around their secrecy, no one would know nuthin' about them at all hardly.
There's gotta be a better way, but I guess if you don' commit to a release date, you got mo' lattitude to d**k around with the release date, an' maybe that gives you mo' leverage over the phone maker when your negotiatin' things like price, features, cripplin' or not cripplin' BT, usin' o' not usin' the Verizon UI, etc.

Another waste of a thread. All speculation, can we just not post anything till you know fact and not just guessing. The Nokia will be out soon, if that is this week or next month I dont know (and neither do you) but to say you think verizon's marketing dept is planning some massive promo or testing or performance or anything else is just a plan guess.
...
You're right. Let's wait. I've probably said too much already. I just hope Verizon doesn't change their mind altogether and shelve it. It's a very good phone.
...
I've been in contact with a Nokia rep and they confirmed to me that the Bluetooth will not be crippled and that the launch date will be around Thanksgiving. That's as specific on the date as the rep could get. But FULL BLUETOOTH!!

WHO CARES!!!!!! 😲
I do Now I will be able to put the same ringtones on my Verizon phone as My Cingular phone so I know who's calling. This is a huge step for Verizon and they do not need to do this given Cingular's CEO remarks.
...
wow.... ok...
The phone still sucks. But atleast now you can make it ring like your Cingy phone. YAY!

Nokia has no say in wether Verizon cripples the phone or not. Nokia can make the phone with full bluetooth and then Verizon can cripple it.
But it would be nice to see it full bluetooth...
