Ok, word on da street wuz dat the 6256 had FINALLY hit Best Buy on Sunday. So silly me, I go 6256-hunting at not 1, not 2, but 3 Best Buys. This is what happened:

Best Buy #1: Guy behind the counter looks at me like I'm prime loco an' says, "We don't carry ANY Nokias for Verizon. Maybe the 6015 I think, but no, not even that." I smile politely an' give him the SKU number (7302616), an' he looks it up in the database. His eyes go all wide an' he says "Ohhh-hhh, okay, yeah, those are 'in-transit'. We'll have 'em in a couple o' days. Call or check back Wednesday, they should be here."

But I'm like, nah, there's two other BBs pretty close by..

Best Buy #2: Go in. See the prettiest Verizon display I ever did see. All the latest phones, ...

Jus' cus' it has full BT, don' mean Verizon is gonna let you move mp3s or whatever to the phone an' set 'em as ringtones.. you can move 'em, but you can't set em as ringtones, accordin' to HowardForums (I haven't tried myself yet).

I have blue tooth the hell out of this thing, everything I have thrown at it comes through np. I have tried many different music files all of them come in and allow me to place it in whatever folder I want, and when I place them in the tone folder it will play it but not let me set it as a ring tone.

what if there was a way to make all songs or mp3's into copywrited material, do you think that would be a way to bypass the lock Verizon put on it? I have the alltel version so it lets me use full mp3's into ringers 🙂

So Gunny, how much does it cost to buy a ringtone / song from Verizon?

And what do those ringtones sound like?

Do you have a website that I could go to and listen for myself? Thank you either way.
