I have been going over Vrz's website, and it seems to me that they are hurting for (new phones.)
I'm an ATTWS customer, and I wanted to sign up with Verizon, but their phones look so cheap!
They spend billions on their network, but they don't seem to have anything left for their phones.
Don't they know Nokia out sells motorola by a least 2 to 1.
(And by the way I have gone to their stores and I have held their phones, durability doesn't seem to be a big concern of theirs.)

nokia sells mostly GSM and TDMA equipment. Verizon is a CDMA service so they can't use either style of equipment.

Yes...Nokia does sell a LOT of GSM and TDMA phones for other carriers, HOWEVER...

Other manufacturers of cell phones for CDMA (i.e., Motorola, Samsung, etc.) use the Qualcomm CDMA chip. Nokia has "ventured" out to create their OWN CDMA chip was is not up to Verzin Wireless' standards. As you know, phones go through EXTENSIVE testing BEFORE hitting the Verizon Wireless sales floor, for better quality on the network. The Nokia 3595i HAS gone through such testing and guess what...It is the first Nokia phone re-released with the Qualcomm CDMA chip and not Nokia's. If a phone fails the quality testing, it is sent back to the manufacturer to be made better. Nokia is a great company!!

Umm Verizon only has the Nokia 3589i, What is the 3586i?? Verizon does not carry that phone. Verizon will soon offer the Nokia 2285.

Nokia sucks IMO anyways.. I have the 3589i, and even though I dont have any problems with the phones performance, I think with Nokia being the LARGEST phone manufactuer, they could at LEAST offer some phones that have MORE than 4096 colors in its color screen phones.. I mean come on 4096!! Everyone else offer at LEAST 65,000 Colors, and the occasion 256,000 colors like the LG6000!! That's like selling a regular Nintendo in a market were everyone is selling PS2's and Xbox's! Come on get the times Nokia!!!

I generally dislike Nokia because they do not have much in selection for clamshell or flip phones, I think they have a few, but not many. I like flips for their functionality and style. 🙂
