Nokia Pulls Out Of CDMA
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong? I just don't see why a company would put their logo on stuff that's not even theirs by design and such... unless Pantech and Nokia are working together on CDMA phones? 😕

Now my choice of cdma phones becomes even MORE limited. I'd give my left arm for a toshiba or sonyericsson or nokia cdma EVDO phone launched here. Screw gsm IMHO, cingular cant get their crap working properly and artificially limits their phones from making TCP connections, nor is tmobile anywhere near as good coverage wise. I cant even get their signal inside my house. I could care less what each company wants to do GSM wise, but i know for my needs here in Denver, GSM will never suffice for what I need to do. Looks like LG is the last phone company i'll ever buy a phone from again.
What irks me, is that nokia has had in my own personal experience the BEST call quality, stability and reception on verizon's cdma network. And now no...

It is also the only phone to date that Verizon has allowed open bluetooth transfer on... Not to mention it's a Nokia Nokia... None of this Pantech Nokia crap.
I don't know why no one else sells this phone... it FLIES off our shelves.
A high end Nokia, are you kidding - doesn't matter what it looks like - you could get reception on Mars w/ this phone!
If Nokia simply had better cooperation with Qualcomm and designed better handsets like they do for GSM in Europe, they would have had a big edge here with CDMA.

This is very bad news. Now CDMA is left with crap from the likes of SamSUCK, Panjunk, UTStarcum, Kyocrap, etc. ☹️ All garbage. At least the Samsucks are pretty bu...

LG has history of releasing handsets with subpar Reception, sub par software, bugs in the software, as well as hardware issues.
535s slides breaking off, the new 5500 has major problems with it's earpiece as well as displys (broken). The 225 has problems just shutting off, the phone restarts all the time. The LG 8100 was a bug fest with a fluctuating earpiece, restarts, white screen, etc.
I realize you have a bias against Samsung, but LG is by no means superior when it comes to issues in handsets. Perhaps that is why LGs handset margins are at less than 1% while Samsung's and Motorola's are at 10-15%.
Oh well.
