Nokia 6126 / 6131 / 6133
Tri Band!?!?!?!!! I am SO Pissed!!!
All,
Maybe those "in the know" can clear this up for me...
Stopped into my local Cingular store to inquire once again about this phone; same crap about ETA until I pushed and it seems mid-July (next week or the following) will be the drop.
However, what I was told next really pissed me off because I have been waiting for soooooooo long for this phone for one main reason: it is supposed to be a quad band phone.
The Cingular store reps told me that they have it listed as a tri band phone and that it is quite possible that the version made for Cingular will be downgraded from the original quad band version to a tri-band version. If that turns out to be the truth 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿 .....

I think it will be quad band. Don't believe everything you hear from the sales rep. A lot of times, they're out of the loop (not their fault) because they don't have the info.

Hi spirt22,
According the Nokia USA website...
http://www.nokiausa.com/phones/6126/0,7747,fe at:1,00.html
... the 6126 is quad band. Of course that isn't to say that the specs couldn't change or that Cingular woudn't carry a varriant, but from the info available it looks as it should be Quad band (850/900/1800/1900).
Also that said the 6131 is available online from many different retailers as well (though no contract pricing). I've seen the 6131 as low as $259 (www.myworldphone.com).
Hope this helps.

Anyone have any more info as to the success or failure with MMS on the 6131?
I've heard mixed reviews.
Spoken to a couple of people who have it working just fine and a couple with failures.

How do you tell when a Cingular rep is lying? When his lips are moving.
This phone is QUAD band.

Well, I talked to a Cingular rep today and he said the same thing. He said that the phone was "Tri-band" and that Nokia North America doesn't make Quad band Nokia phones. I told him that it was in print on the Nokiausa.com that the phone was QUAD BAND! But here's a piece of info that a rep told me 3 months ago. He said that in order to NOT piss off Motorola, they wouldn't have a Nokia quad band phone for sale. That Cingular has an "arrangement" and "relationship" with Motorola that they (Cingular) are not trying to upset. Is that a riot or what?
