No, they are not!
This completely shows how much you know about cell phones... 🙄
I challenge any Vzw phone to meet the features and the quality of the call of any SE phone. Especially the Walkman phones. 😈

The one we carried back in the day was garbage. I don't know how all the new ones are since they don't have any cdma ones, but we had the t61c and it was junk. I personally like the phone but it was terrible. I kept selling them thinking it was a good phone until all of them started coming back. That was fun to deal with though.

wow basing all this off ONE phone

Well that was the only cdma Verizon Sony Ericcson phone ever carried...so Yes based off of one, because that is all we have to base it on. Just because a company makes good gsm phones doesn't mean crap when it comes to cdma, two totally different things. So maybe they make great gsm phones, the only phone they ever made for Verizon (t61c) was garbage and that is all we have to base our opinion of them in the cdma market. So try not being such an A$$hat 🤣

Bwhahahaha, I know more about cell phones then 85% of people here. ALL Ericssons were junk back in the day, I havent had any experience with the new ones in the past 2 years.

EVERY SINGLE Ericsson I sold was garbage, im talking about old school phones now.

500/600/700 series back for ATT

1228, 280 series for ATT/Cingular

T60 series for Cingy and Verizon

Nokias were King Sh*t back in the day, who didnt own at least a 5100 or 6100 series phone.

They were built like absolute tanks, the only thing that sucked with those phones was the damn battery would get loose and disconnect. Everybody knew about the simple fix too, rip a business card in half then fold it over and put it under the battery and slide it back in. 🤣

What about the Sony Ericsson T610. That was a piece of crap for reception.
When you compare that with the Motorola E815...

Thats how a Verizon phone can beat a Sony Ericsson in reception. 😎

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure that's one phone. And I'm just curious...if Sony Ericsson hasn't manufactured a CDMA phone for almost 2 years, wouldn't the company have just been Ericsson? That would make it an Ericsson phone, which is entirely different from a Sony Ericsson phone.

I use Sony Ericsson phones myself with Cingular and the reception is unmatched by other handset manufacturers. Maybe you should try one sometime.

Who wouldn't 😉
I love SE phones. I like the fact that when you can carry a SE phone no-one could ever think that I'm carrying a CDMA phone LOL I know, I know, it's silly; but I can't let that happen to me. 😕

the T610 was a Sony Ericsson GSM phone for T-Mobile and Cingular, and it had horrible reception.

Ha, yes. Now that you say that I do remember that phone. I think I just remembered it as the T616 instead.

I do apologize for that post then.

However, I still believe that Sony Ericsson's reception is (now) unmatched only by Nokia in the GSM arena. If you haven't already, try a more recent model out for yourself. I'm willing to bet you'll be surprised.

Oh man! you're comparing a pre-merger phone with a Verizon phone, not too fair. How about any post merger SE phone for example a z520a...

SONY ERICSSON doesn't produce CDMA phones. As far as I know they only work with GSM technologies, so most likely they'll never have them.

Did Nokia follow Sony Ericsson's foot steps by pulling out too? I'll let you guys figure that one out! 🙄

Sony Ericsson stopped making CDMA phones in the USA & Canada about 3-4 years ago, but still make CDMA phones for Japan & South Korea. I'm not sure what the reason was they stopped making CDMA phones for the USA, but Nokia is ceasing production of their own CDMA phones due to much of the world wanting to support GSM. Plus some people also speculate that USA CDMA carriers, especially Verizon ...

to bad (Sony) Ericsson's last US CDMA phone was the T60c. I like Sony Ericssons in general, but I have VZW and the last one is extremely old (and ugly 🤣 🤣 )

I don't blame Nokia for that tho. I mean the verizon UI has its advantages since it makes it easier to get used to the phone if you change it, but i still believe that people should be given the choice to have the manufacturer's one. I hate those red bars! It wouldn't be as bad if you could at least change the colors to customize your phone

Yeah, the 8300 so far is pretty cool. My mom had the E815 and lost it so she got the 8300 as an insurance claim, she loves it so far!

If I'm not mistaken, the Nokia 6305i is a Pantech phone with a Nokia name on it. If what I typed is true, then of course it'll have the Verizon UI on it, and not the Nokia UI. Nokia has focussed more on basic candybar style phones for years, instead of the more advanced features, until recently, though didn't make any effort to make their own EV-DO phones before getting out making their own CDMA phones.

Nokia backed out of a joint partnership with Sanyo, when they decided not to make anymore of their own CDMA cellphones. That is why they're only selling rebranded Pantech phones. It would have been interesting to see what phones would have been released by the Nokia/Sanyo partnership.

one reason why companies like nokia and others back out of making that many cdma phones for the usa is the wait time on phones being approved through the fcc. much easier and more profitable to make gsm models that can be sold in other countries without all the red tape. its business.
