Nokia 6256i for $29 at Circuit City
I saw an ad today in the Atlanta newspaper for a three day only sale which had the Nokia 6256i with a free Bluetooth Headset for $29. I assume that this would need a two year contract. Seems like a good deal for a moderately featureed phone and a bluetooth headset. Anyone have an thoughts on why this might not be such a good idea?
Thanks in advance.

How do you possibly go wrong with that? The phone is fabulous, and with the BT headset, even if it is the one with a AAA battery supplying power, that is still a great deal!

I would jump on that deal. The 6256 is a very good phone, an' far from bein' 'moderately featured', it does just about everything except EVDO/VCast. It even has full bluetooth.
$29, even wit' a 2-yr contract, is a very good price fo' that phone.

I kinda thought this sounded like BS since CC is actually Vzw owned kiosks and the 6256i is an agent only ph. So I checked CC website and there is not anywhere, even if you search, the mention of the 6256i So please, refrain from posting false info. in hopes of getting your local agent to cut the price!!!

This is not B.S. . I purchased the phone yesterday @ C.C. in Westbury,New York for $32.57 after tax,and received a free Jabra jbt150 headset. The website may not have it, but the stores do.

See, Freedom, you should be giving me that phone for free. I told you, damnit.

Great (I got my iPod and my Sidney Crosby jersey), how about your's?
Give me a call when you can. I wanna talk to you about how much you can give me 3 different phones for. 😁

Not to interrupt this stretch of thread, but I talked with a VZW employee at the CC VZW in Hobart Indiana (website lists it as Merrillville, but the mailing address hasn't been changed since 1994) and the price is only good until 01/01/2006. After that date, the price will really go up. So if you're eligible for an upgrade, or want VZW service for the first time, and have your eye on this phone, now is the time to get it at that price for a 2 year contract. It shows I believe 78.95 for a 1 year contract, and almost $275 at retail price.
...
Full retail is $238.41 after taxes in Brooklyn, NY at the Gateway Center Circuit City (erskine Street).
I bought the phone at full retail on 12/30 and I will now be selling my LG VX8100 on eBay. 😁

Not BS. CC website wouldn't have the promotion as we don't use their website to advertise. on their website you'd see ads from the old vendor that used to sell inside circuit city.
Although we are corporate owned kiosks inside Circuit City, we still get exclusive promotions that can only be honored in CC kiosks.
BJs and Home Depot kiosks get their own exclusive promotion...

My apologies, What is the deal now btw CC and Vzw???
No apologies needed. Many people are still unclear of when it comes to VZW's relationship with Circuit City. As of October 2004 Verizon Wireless leased the space in side Circuit City's to build and operate their own kiosks, and Circuit City can no longer sell Wireless phone service inside their stores. The kiosks the employees that work in the kiosk are from Verizon. The success of VZW's Circuit City "Store within a Store" has led to us expanding and setting up kiosks in BJ's wholesale warehouse, and Home Depot.

Thanks for the explantion, so does this mean that CC will be able to do all the things a Corp. store can but also receive all the benefits (diff. phones, better pricing)that an agent does????
...
basically we do everything that a corp store does and yeah we get exclusive offers just for CC ( or bj's & home depot) to draw in traffic.

The only thing we can't do is provide technical support. Customers would still have to take their phone to a VZW communication store for that.
