a regional carrier down here, Cellular South has had that phone for months. I hope Verizon does not limit the Bluetooth capabilities that phone has. The friend that has it can get ringtones, pics, contacts, whatever she wants from my phone... Nice phone, but Verizon has a reputation of crippling bluetooth.... i hope it's not true for this phone..... i like it.
...
Everyone's waitin' on this phone. Why is it so great?
Not hatin', jus' wonderin'.

it should be limited bluetooth like vzw other phones that are not smart phones. why do you think it is taking so long for vzw to come out with the phone. they have to screw up the software to get the bluetooth limited to their specs.
...
6255i with Alltel is full bluetooth so if it not full bluetooth it would be VZW's call on this one
...
I called Verizon customer care last night, to find out just how soon they would activate a 6256i. They told me catagorically they could not activate that model until November 12. Now, that came from Verizon CC...and I'm not making this up. If you get your phone activated before that, you let me know.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Does that mean Nov 12 is the release date?
Still don' understand why people are goin' crazy for this phone.

what's to understand, do you even have verizon service?, how long have you been a customer?
...
I don' have Verizon. But I'm thinkin' I'm probably goin' to sign up with them. T-Mobile don' have the coverage, Sprint-Nextel don' have the hybrid phones yet they need to use both their networks, and Cingular's got.. excuses. And a lotta hostile weird people on their forum.
So yeah, I'm probably goin' Verizon.

Good choice 🙂 The Nokia 6256i would be an excellent choice for you're first phone. I want it and the RAZR for my next two phones.
The nokia is most exciting do to it's possible un-cripple bluetooth and Nokia's solid reputation.

The phone is here and it is pretty darn nice.
I just activated it and started to play with it about 1 hour ago.. Give me till tonight to post some good stuff about it.
So far here is what I can tell you..
The keypad is the first thing I noticed I liked very much. Big keys and a great tactile feel.
Speaker phone is the best I have seen. People can not tell at all if you are on the earpiece or speaker. I have tried this with 5 people already and they have no idea. This is very good.
The menu system is nice and kind of samsung like. It's not the new LG type crappy menu. It's their own and I like it.
The graphics are very good with awesome colors and really nice text. The font they use is very good.
BLUETOOTH IS ENABLED 100%...

Do you have any pictures of the interface? I can't wait for this phone to come out - My NE2 was up a few days ago, and my Startac isn't cutting it anymore... Thanks!

I'm with you gunny, i NEED this phone. My Samsung a670 isn't cutting it anymore. Wish they would hurry up already.
...
Hey Gunny, I don't think he mentioned anything about the UI. The model I saw had the Verizon UI. The phone was branded Verizon and had full bluetooth. Unless they changed their minds at the last second about the Verizon UI, it has the Verizon UI.
...
I was told by Verizon customer care this morning that only certain markets will allow the Nokia 6256i to be activated before November 12. Which market are you in, theatremax?
...
Me thinks maybe he has phone but it is not connected, what do you think??? Hence no answers to the reception questions. 😉
...
I'm also waiting to see if that phone has full BT implimintation before finally moving to Verizon.

I really think it does, which is great news. I saw a picture of the box over on hofo and it states full Bluetooth. I'm not buying the phone for obex; I good give a fig about that. I have obex on my e815 and never use it. I want this phone because I like nokia and flip phones. I like the looks of this phone and that key pad looks perfect for me. I also like the straight lines of the phone. I really think it will be a solid performer. And from what is being said it looks like no verizon UI.
Should only be a few more days for the Nokia
And only about three weeks for the RAZR.
I can’t wait...

I was playing around with this phone a little while ago, and I wanted to let all you people know that it isn't coming out directly for Verizon. It will only be available for indirect sales. Verizon does not know when the phone will be released, but it will have full bluetooth capabilities, and will have the Verizon Wireless UI, and will not have Get IT now. We were able to test out the unrestricted bluetooth, and it does work with a bluetooth adapter on your computer as well as other things. The bad part is that the MiniSD card slot will be under the battery (unlike other models that have it on the side). The phone will not have EVDO or VCast on it either. All in all this phone seems just like any other phone Verizon Wireless has put out. On...

Just so you know... Nokia might be turning the table sooner then later with Verizon. 2006... some new phones will be arriving. With what this phone has and more (including EVDO). Wait and see... I knew they would come around with CDMA!! And like I said before... Save your Ne2 for something better, cause this phone doesn't cut it.
...
I wouldn't call having full bluetooth capabilities like any Other 😕 Verizon phone 🙄
😲 😳 That's great news for many 😲 😳

Gunny... I am just calling it like I see it. You want to buy a phone that ONLY has unrestricted bluetooth, go for it. First one that VZW put out! I am happy about that. But if you want more in a phone. I would look some place else. The camera sucks, the speaker phone is decent, no EVDO, the hinges are loose, and the phone is about at large as the E815 (but with nothing in it). Go and pay 199.99 or 149.99 for this when you could get something with more substance. Thats my opinion. Take it or leave it.

That's cool, thanks for info on the phone 🙂
...
LOL... no worries Gunny. I am new here (posting anyway). I'll see ya around the site! 😁
...
This phone is turning out to be the best VZW phone they have..
It's reception and call quality is unmatched..
People who are knocking it are nuts since they don't have one and I do..
Lots of pros and no cons yet !
