Nokia 6126 / 6131 / 6133

I have the 6131 unlocked that I got on Ebay from saberpoint.com and I'm very happy with it. Why anyone would pay for than $300 with a 2 year contract for the 6126 is beyond me, the 2 phones are exactly alike.... Cingular is probably gonna screw it up somehow anyway.

This phone looks so HOT! I have been using my Nokia 6560 with my TDMA National account for a few years now, and am just waiting for a new phone to make me switch to GSM.

Does anybody know when Cingular will be getting this phone, and for how much?

Per my very reputable source, this phone --originally scheduled for a July 5 release-- has now had its release date pushed back to the first week of August.

In my search for the perfect phone that has all the features and accessories I want, I e-mailed Nokia about the availability of Mobile Holders.

They said that the CR-34 (used with the 6102 series) would work with it. Does anyone have knowledge about the accuracy of this?

I just got off the phone with a rep from a cingular corp store, he said they just recieved the new price list and it has the 6126 release date as of Aug 17. Is it possible it could have been pushed back that far? He also said the lg cu500 would be in his store next week, and the samsung sgh-zx20 is suppposed to be released Aug 4. I sure hope his date of Aug 17 is wrong.

For those of you who have the 6131, and for the few who have gotten to play with the 6126......

Does this phone have real voice dialing, or does it still require silly "voice tags" to be recorded in the phonebook first like older nokias???

Further, if anyone can comment, how does the voice dialing work via bluetooth headset?

any other info on the voice dialing feature will also be appreciated. thanks

The phone will be $80 w/ a 2-year agreement as opposed to the $149.

According to mobilebee.com they have the 6126 available now. Price is outragious at $399 w/o contract though. 😳

In an earlier thread someone had mentioned July 5th as an arrival date for this phone w/Cingular in US stores but none of the Cingular stores even have preliminary info on the phone.

Anyone have any new updates about an ETA for the 6126?

Here's a review of the 6131(which is the European version of the 6126) from gsmarena.com

Can anyone with this phone let me know? Thanks a million

Sorry if everyone knows this already but I found it nice that you can go to www.nokia.com/support and get all the settings for cingular (MMS, internet, e-mail) and anyother provider for that matter. Great phone, love it!

Nokia USA Customer Service 1-888-665-4228. They have no information on any release dates or if Cingular has even put it into testing. If you need a new phone now you may want to think about moving on. If you can wait, it may be worth it.

So is this phone going to be released today? I know I originally heard July 5th, but then I heard it would be delayed again.

Any info?

I have seen pictures of this phone in silver. Will the 6126 be available in this color?

I work for Cingular and we just word that this phone will drop on July 5th (which might change) but will retail for $249 flat out or $149 (no rebate) with a contract, hope this helps out, Ive seen the phone and it looks to be the best Nokia (non-smart phone) to hit these shores in a long time.

has anyone experienced problem with the camera and video feature on this phone? mine just showed while picture, funtion buttons are grey out, phone freezed for about 10 seconds, then it said operation failed.

my phone came w/o microSD. perhaps that might be the cause? even when i plugged in microSD card it still didn't work.

help!

For those of you who already have this phone, how is the flip button?

Can you open the phone without using it, or is it locked shut until you press the button?

Does the phone flip open in your pocket/bag when the button is accidentally pressed?

For those who have the phone already, can you view your text messages from the external display? I seen Verizion LG phones do that and its neat. If this phone does it, thats awesome! 😎
