i have emailed Nokia almost 2 weeks ago asking them to notify me but i haven't heard anything yet. 😡
...
The 6230 is on vacation. He was smpooted in La La Land and is rumored to be on his way to Atlantis. I hope that helps.
...

Once they are in the warehouse how long does it take the stores to get them? and where are they expected out first, everywhere or just some markets? any help is appreciated.
...
once the warehouse releases them, any store can order them. your manager has to give you the ability to order first, of course. don't know if all markets are getting it first, but the should. we are GSM all over now.

Thanks for the info, i guess I can wait another couple weeks to get them in Nashville. Finally a new phone...my third in 9 years.
...
After reading this thread, I called Cingular today and ordered mine. Should get in two to three days. Crossing my fingers!

Forgive my ignorance but did you just call the regular *611 and go to sales. Does it allow me to us my upgrade? Would it be quicker if I wait for the store to get it? If someone could answer this it would be very helpful.

Yes, I called them directly, and was upgrading my poor old 8390. I mentioned the post on here about the phones being in the warehouse. So the rep checked and said I could go ahead and order one... so I did! (I'm in NorCal, btw.) That was pretty much it.
Price was $149 with 2-yr and $199 with 1-yr. It's also FastForward compatible.
Of course... let's see when I get it.
...
You oredered a 6230? I just spoke with someone in the National Sales department, and he said they don't have the 6230 yet. What's going on?
...
Do you mind saying about where in NorCal you are? I am in Central Cal and it would be advantageous to use this information as 'leverage'.
...
I'm in San Francisco.
I called to check on my order today and (surprise surprise), it's now showing as backordered. After a lot of prodding, the rep checked and said that the phone should be released tomorrow (9/29), so that's why it's coming up backordered.
Kinda made me wonder why I could order it ahead of time (and why they'd charge me for it already), but I'll just be happy when I get it.
I'll post again when it actually ships... hopefully in the next couple days. (I'm not holding my breath.)
...
got mine in today, sold one already.
...
Is the Cingular branded version White or graphite?
Will
...
Got yours in today? What state are you in?
...
With the Nokia 6230 becoming a reality in some areas, when might Cingular "officially" release this phone?
...
Graphite, NC, and official release is October 1st.
...
Any ideas on the Memphis, TN warehouse getting any in? That is where we get our phones for the Birmingham, AL market from.
...
Well mine's been backordered (for the second time) even tho it's been released.
Basically I was told the warehouse has now run out of 6230 phones and they're not sure when more are coming in. ("Maybe the next couple weeks? Maybe next week?") Every time I call to check I get a different answer from some rep who said the last rep I talked to was misinformed. Frustrating to say the least!
Does anyone (preferably someone affiliated with Cingular) know when more 6230s are scheduled to come in?
...
the reason they are not in the warehouse is because they went to the stores. Call the store... they may have it.
...
Not in California they don't. (Not even on the website here.) Not sure why.
...
They are suppose to be released October 3rd from what i am told, which is a sunday, which is of course Cingular's fashion, we just today got in our dummy phones. So it shouldn't be too much longer, the e317 is suppose to be shipping along side the 6230.

The weird thing is that you can find them on Cingular's site already for (seemingly) everywhere but the West Coast.
I called my local company store and they didn't expect to get them in until the end of October. Not encouraging...
Where are you located mac? (I'm guessing Texas?)
...
Yeah i'm in Texas, i am in The STX market in College Station. that's strange that they said they won't be there until end of October, they are truly misinformed.
mac
...
Yeah, I've been hearing a lot of that word lately!
Thanks anyway. Hopefully another shipment will arrive in Memphis soon.
...
I don't undestand this whole thing about Cingular being backordered already. The phone technically hasn't been released until sunday. i'm waiting on one for me personally, i sold my v600 because it had too many problems. I've been using an old 6200, which is nice but i'm ready to get my mp3's back and other stuff...

...
called and tried to order today, customer service had no knowledge of phone. i hope cingular gets the kinks worked out soon, i want this phone!
