Alltel has it out already and i've played with this phone...not that much different feature wise from say the lg 8100. or am i completely off here? Is there some big differences i'm missing between the two different versions (alltel and verizon)

For me it's the ability to synch up my entire contact database (ACT! to Outlook to the 6256i) with no phone book limitations, other than the amount of memory in the phone. That means I have complete contact ifo for over 4,500 business contacts I've compiled over the past 20 years. No more lugging around a Palm Pilot, or opening the laptop every time I need a phone number.

That's huge to me.

It's a Nokia. The Alltel version will not work on Verizon's network...it won't take the download. It's tri-mode. It's Bluetooth. It's a Nokia. It has excellent transmission and reception. The camera works beautifully. It's a Nokia. There's an FM radio built into it. GIN seems to be there. It's a Nokia. There's an mp3 player. There's a voice recorder. I believe there's video capability. Oh, did I mention...it's a Nokia?
