New Verizon Sliders..?

Does anyone know if Verizon is going to get any new slider phones soon? The only 2 I can think of are the Chocolate, but I don't want to spend over $300 (retail) for a phone where all I need is phone and maybe a cheap camera, and the old Kyocera Slider, which is hard to find. Ebay or trying to get sales reps to sell me a refurbished one... 🙄 I prefer style of features. All I need is a phone that looks cool, gets good signal, and is a slider.

thnx but nothin there . 😛

All thats there are PDA phones w/ slide out keyboards, the kyocera slider, the Chocolate (too expensive for a phone @ retail) and the Nokia 6305i (cant get @ VZW)

oh well I can wait. My Audiovox 8910 will last a little longer. All it does is make a rattling sound when you shake it and the earpiece is garbled
LOL 🤣

Actually you can purchase the 6305i through circuit city and most autorized agents we have them in stock at my location

nvm i hit the refresh button many times until that ad for LetsTalk.com w/ the 6305i came up that tells you the retail then their price. the retail is $220?!i think thats too much for a cell phone especially one as ugly as the 6305i.

its a camera and EVDO, looks aside those features aren't cheap. besides that most camera phones aren't cheaper than $200. I've sold a few of these and they are good phones, infact all the pantechs we sell are good, despite being incredibly low end and unattractive.

I really don't like slider ph's They just to me do not seem to be very user friendly as. Imho the se47 were JUNK as are most kyocera products! Nokia has licensed there CDMA manufacturing to pantech which are also not a very good ph. The only slider that I would consider is the lg 8500 (chocolate) as LG typically make a quality product! Hope that helps sorry I couldn't provide more info regarding durability

Only new slider coming out is the Chocolate. As for refurbs, you'd have to ask the individual stores or call customer service. Your odds of finding the kyocera slider new are slim to none. Anything else?

are there any bar-style phones coming out for vzw? have had flips for awhile; tired of flipping. wish the "real nokia" would stay in the cdma mkt...liked their bar phones; probably will give the 8500 slider a try

thanks in advance
