Nokia 6255i / 6256i
Verizon Users!
I just got off the phone with a rep about why I couldn't get my phone activated, and she told me that it was because it hasn't technically been released with Verizon yet, and to just be patient and wait for the official "release date".

Someone called in and tried activating a Sprint Treo on the network the other day (without telling me it was Sprint) and it didn't let me, saying it was an invalid ESN. After some...
