I agree. I have the same phone, and it burys the Razr with it's great features. Why didn't you just get a bluetooth? Although, you can't listen to bluetooth with the radio..

Oh, darlin! I just found a reason to hate my phone. My sweet, precious phone!!!!! Nokia is not repairing they 6255. They don't have replacement parts or replacement phones for warranty repair. I'm so sad.

It is an older phone design. And actually has a lot of quality issues. Featured loaded yes. But Nokia hasn't made a flip phone that matches the quality on average of a Motorola. Bar phones are a different story though.

You like it though, that is what matters.

now I agree with you! Nokia makes bad flip phones! They might be cool, but not made well I just dropped my 6255i on my kitchen wood floor, three feet at the most and it was so bad that I have to get a new phone! The glued on plastic cover on the faceplate came halfway off and so i pulled it all the way off, the hing cracked and the entire phone has a huge crack on the side! SAD!!!

🤣 🤣 🤣 OK OK.. the 6255i went EOL MONTHS Ago! You say that the KRAZR is ugly??? compared to the 6255i?? The 6255i is horrid.. bulky and white! and don't even compare technology either because if you compare the two phones you will see the major differences.

For one, Krzr is a motorola and until proven otherwise, a piece of xxxx. Second, it wasn't available when I got my phone, and my phone does everything the krzr does, and it didn't have to be a motorola to do it.

I know my wont do a prl update so they gave me the kyocera slider remix as a replacement and let me keep my nokia as a "christmas tree ornament!" and so after two days of using the slider I switched back! Worst phone ever! I dont care if my phone cant do a prl update! I love it!!!!

I sent mine to repair when it did that, but that was months ago, and it took 4 weeks for them to get the parts. Now they aren't replacing them, but if you send them in for warranty, Nokia will send you a check for the prorated amount of the phone. I agree with you about the kx5, all kyoceras feel cheap!

all kyocera's are junk! I am not too sure which moto's with Alltel you have had, but the v710, E815, Razr, and Krazr have all served me very well.

Moto 262, 265, and 266 were enough to make me distrust motorola. To be fair, I sell lots of 323's, and haven't had a single problem with them. I've only sent 2 to warranty, and for once, they got them back to us quick. So my hatred of Motorola is being tempered. Of the first 15 Razrs I sold, 14 of them were turned into insurance within their first 30 days. They just weren't tough enough. Now that we've learned about protective cases and such, that isn't much of an issue, and we haven't had any problems with the Razr. Don't buy a Kyocera, matter what the sales person says. They will have to make 10 or 20 phones in a row to get me to forgive them for the Candid and Milan.

I loved the moto 710, I'm hoping the Krzr and the V3m will win...

OH! That explains alot! No wonder you don't like Motos, the v120 is a dinosaur, and the 262 is a POS.. try something like the E815 or the soon to be released Razr v3m..

for another hundred bucks you could have bought the 815

i just did. my 3rd 6255 started shutting itself off.
tha was enough of nokia.
i thought the phone was great compared to previous alltel selections.

i now know the 815 kicks the 6255 out of picture

sorry i waited so long to get the 815.

menus and performance outshine nokia

yours will crap out within a few months

everyone elses has
