the manual doesn't show video recording...but yet it does have video recording...strange...is that a fake?

Doesn't seem to be a fake... typing in cache.vzw.com redirects to the VZW website, and of course, cache.vzw.com is a subdomain of vzw.com. Perhaps the Verizon variant of the 6255 is slightly different? The model number is 6256i, after all.

What I'm wondering is when its coming out for Verizon. I hear the new LG 5200 is coming out August 15th, will this coincide as part of some sort of mass 'new phone' rollout for VZW? 😕

Its not a fake. If you go to the support section of the Veizon website, you can get to it by going to sitem...

The user manual to the LG 5200 is online and has been online a couple days already. They gave the phone a worse screen compared to the 6100 and gave it that stupid Verizon UI.

Who knows what it will really be, but here it is in silver for Verizon:

Meh... looks okay. The two-tone looks better.

That is incorrect. If you add the dummy phone to your "shopping cart" and go to checkout, there is a drop-down option to change the phone to "Verizon Blue". So, the phone will be as pictured in the online manual: blue and silver colored.

Yeah, you're right, I didn't go that far. Somewhere else I remember reading that it would come through in silver.

Personally, I don't think it is great looking, but it is not offensive like a lot of phones are. That shade of blue seems a little overdone these days, there are a lot of phones using it (whereas silver and black are kind of nuetral and timeless). Also, the part blue, part silver face looks kind of chopped up to me.

I wish it look...

Thank goodness. The silver wasn't bad really, but the two-tone is much better. 🙂

The 6256i from Verizon will be $49.99 with a 2 year deal and $149 if you buy it outright. It will come in the silver/grey color and removed in the 6256i will be the MP3 Player, MMC, Video Recorder, Bt file transfer(Crippled Bt with a headset will be all it supports), and games have been removed to make space for Get it Now features. You would do much better to buy a 6255i unlocked and get it working on the Verizon network as the 6256i is not worth the time or money. Being a stripped down 6255i they removed all of the good things the 6255i had going for it and left it a plain jane Nokia filp with few features.

Where did you get this info (that is, how solid is it)?

Did you get a rele...

Can anyone else confirm that date for release...I want this phone!!

I wonder if you could activate a 6255i when the 6256i comes out. 🙄

Nokia now has a 6256i page up, and apparently it still has the video recorder and...

Meanwhile, still nothing on the Verizon web site.

Anybody know anything about the 6236i?

VZW's market power absolutely baffles me. Nokia won't even sell the 6256 on its own website! Makes me want to cancel my contract and go with a new carrier!
