Re: Can/how to "silent" the E815 on power up?
Use bitpim and overwrite the startup sound with an empty mp3 file. That's what I did. Check www.howardforums.com for the exact details, I don't remember the name of the file off the top of my head and don't have my serial cable handy at the moment to check. Or, I believe that if you have the ring type set to silent, there will not be a sound upon startup.
Re: Getting phone in a VZW store VS getting phone at CC?
Cool thanks for the replies. There's a CC and a VZW Store at the mall near my job, but the VZW store is always crowded and tiny, figure I can get helped quicker at the CC. I did see the Nokia 6256i, and I really thought about getting it, but I don't like that you can't just use voice dialing for any entry in the phone book, and that you can't do number dialing either. Those ...
Getting phone in a VZW store VS getting phone at CC?
Just wondering if there's any difference between getting a phone in a Verizon Store VS getting it at Circuit City (which is a Verizon store I know) My concern is that if the phone is bad, tech support, etc. if I get it a CC and the VZW store won't help me because it wasn't bought at a VZW store. I have the feeling it doesn't matter, but I just want to be sure.
Re: Can't order a new phone online for 6 months!
So VZW was useless. I spoke to the Internet Sales department and the woman was very rude. She transferred me to a nice CS rep who also couldn't help me. To me this practice is BS. It's like buying a coat at a store, then returning it because it doesn't fit, and when you want to get a new one they say "sorry sir, you can't shop here again for another year" The CS ...
Re: Can't order a new phone online for 6 months!
Yeah I spoke to a supervisor, I may call during tomorrow, odds are I'll get someone else and hopefully they can be more helpful. I think it's lame that they make up these rules and don't tell you *anywhere* nor can they reset it anywhere either.
Re: Can't order a new phone online for 6 months!
Thanks pete1660, I appreciate it! I've heard nothing but good things about the E815, I should have just gotten it *before* the V325, and when it was still $99 - then it would been free with my NE2!
Re: Can't order a new phone online for 6 months!
Yeah I am not holding my breath. I filed a complaint with the BBB but that's useless as well I am sure. I will just have to suck it up and go to a store and spend the $50 extra plus sales tax and then wait forever for the refund check I'm afraid.
Can't order a new phone online for 6 months!
So I got the V325 back in December, and it sucked, so I returned it. Now I want to order the E815 online and they are telling me that you have to wait 6 months before getting another phone online! I don't have the time to get to the stores, plus I want the $50 instant online rebate. So they tell me that they don't state that anywhere on their web site, but it's the "system" ...
Re: How long for warehouse to notify that you're returned a phone?
I live just north of NYC. Also, I will probably just disable EVDO via the info found on howardforums.com. I think the LG8100 has been pulled from the Verizon web site temporarily until they can do a firmware upgrade to allow playing songs from their online music store, not sure about the Samsung tho.
Re: How long for warehouse to notify that you're returned a phone?
I don't care about being able to watch videos or play music on my phone, that's what I have a mp3 player for or a TV @ home :) But I've been reading mixed reviews on the 6256i anyways, that the UI is clunky, ergonomics aren't so great, etc. I may just hold out another week until the 17th, hopefully the E815 will drop to $99 and by then my NE2 date will be reset.
Re: How long for warehouse to notify that you're returned a phone?
I would have except that there were no other phones that I wanted at the time. I may get the E815 in a few weeks when it drops down below $100 again (I read on howardforums that it will be dropping back to $99 on Jan 17th) or going to Circuit City and checking out the Nokia 6256i and using my NE2 there. I just need to call the CC's around here and see if they have ...
How long for warehouse to notify that you're returned a phone?
So I had the Motorola V325 under my NE2 and I returned it. It was received on December 30th according to the FEDEX tracking number. I called last week to make sure it was received and that my NE2 was reset and my contract expiration date was reset. The woman who answered said that she did show via the tracking number that it was received, but that it takes the warehouse up to two weeks! to ...
Re: Verizon is so FULL OF BS
Check the Motorola forums at www.howardforums.com. Lots of people have htem already. They will be available in stores on Monday the 12th. And you can get them on the Verizon web site already
Re: Verizon Press Release: RAZR Don' Got OBEX
That's too bad, b/c I would have gotten the 6256i for sure if I could under my NE2. Now I'm going to get the Moto V325 instead, comes out tomorrow or Wednesday online, who knows when in the stores. It's already up on testman.verizonwireless.com
Re: Questions....
From what I read you can disable the "disco light" feature.
Re: What's with the new process????
One of the VZW stores near me (White Plains, NY on Central Avenue) is horrible. You get there and sign in, and then supposedly they call your name. Everytime I have been there it's been a bad experience. Their customer service is terrible, and there is always a very long line and only one or two techs. The parking lot is always jammed, and no one helps you in any meaningful way. Luckily normally ...
V325 Release date 12/6/05
According to this thread on howardforums it looks like the V325 will be released on December 6th!

Re: Nokiausa Support PCSuite prob: My letter to Nokia
lorna - I hate to say it but you are probably out of luck. Most companies that make software only care about Windows and Internet Explorer. I don't use either Windows or MacOSX, and don't use Internet Explorer to surf the web, you'd be surprised at how many web sites *only* work with Internet Explorer. I used to use a Mac, and I think once you hook up your bluetooth adapter, it should just "see" ...

There has been mixed rumors if the Nokia 6256i is coming to the Corp stores. I really think it will be there in a few weeks. You have to love verizon and there NE2, I wouldn't even be considering the razr, its just my luck my NE2 is available the 23rd. It's lame Best Buys doesn't do the NE2. I hope you get what you want soon :)
Thanks gunny! Hope that you're satisfied with the RAZR once ...
Re: Interesting Info on RAZR
No I am probably not getting the RAZR. I wanted to get the Nokia 6256i using my NE2, but since it doesn't look like it's going to be a Verizon Wireless stores anytime soon (if ever) I may get the Motorola V325 instead, looks like a nice rugged phone. I just wish it had Bluetooth so I could use the wireless headset in the car - dealing with the wired one is a pain.
Re: Interesting Info on RAZR
I was just curious that's all, I saw how psyched you were to get it, didn't think you'd be getting another new phone so quickly!
Re: Interesting Info on RAZR
Gunny - What are you going to do with your 6256i once you get the RAZR?
Re: RAZR is Not going to Happen this Month.........Period! V325
Cool thanks coachtim, looking forward to the pictures later in the week.

12/1-12/8 time period
Will that be at Verizon Wireless stores? or only at indirects? I want to redeem my NE2, I thought about the Motorola E815, but the V325 looks more appealing to me, plus the fact that it's a little more rugged is a bonus.
Thanks!
Re: RAZR is Not going to Happen this Month.........Period!
Do you know when the V325 is going to be released? It looks like a great phone, I just wish it had Bluetooth so I could use a wireless headset in the car with it.
Re: 6256i: Activation & Service
If you just buy it somewhere, you should be able to activate it online using the Verizon ESN changer available on http://www.verizonwireless.com/ Don't know about the first question however.
Re: Nokia 6256i Verizon Employees???
I just did that "live chat" thing on www.verizonwireless.com and the woman I chatted with, Jada, said that she showed no information about when that phone is going to be released either online or in the stores. For what that's worth.... :/

The requirements for ne2 is that you are on a price plan of 39.99 or higher for 2 years or longer. Your wife's line is 9.99 or 20.00 max. She is not eligible for ne2. She can get 2 yr promotional pricing w/a 2 yr agreement.

Re: I will have my Nokia 6256i in the morning !
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!
Re: Nokia 6256i - ANyone know a real date ??
See this thread on howardforums:
http://www.howardforums.com/sh owthread.php?t=756436
Seems that the 6256i will be at Radio Shack next Wednesday, $349.99. I'm guessing it will be at Verizon Wireless stores shortly thereafter.

Re: POLL: The 6256i... Would You Buy It If They Crippled The Bluetooth?
Probably. At the moment I don't have any bluetooth capable computers (Yes I know I can get a an adapter) but I can also just get a cable to sync up the address book/etc. All I want is good call quality and good reception, and a bluetooth headset (and a partridge in a pear tree.....)

Seems that the call out cards are already in the stores. I think end of October time frame is what I have been reading as well, don't know about in VZW stores vs. Radio Shack/Best Buy/etc.

The 6256i is not EVDO capable. No V-Cast availability on it. :evil:
I don't care about V-cast or EVDO really. Once the end of October rolls around I'll head into a store, check out both phones in my hand, play around with them a bit, see how it feels, how the ringers are, how the vibrate is (I've heard the E815 vibrate is kind of weak) etc. And hey if I don't like one ...
Re: Holy Crap On A Stick! Did VZW Uncripple the Bluetooth in the Nokia 6256i?
Cool thanks for the tip rambofone. Luckily I can just try the phone out for a few days, and if I'm unhappy, just return it....gotta love that!
Re: Holy Crap On A Stick! Did VZW Uncripple the Bluetooth in the Nokia 6256i?
I've read on howardforums.com that the mp3 player doesn't work (and odds are neither does the FM radio) but I don't care about those features, that's why I have a mp3 player.... I just want a good stable phone with good reception and clear call quality.
