Nokia 6255i / 6256i
Saw it at Best Buy - Didn't buy it
Called my local Best Buy in Emeryville CA yesterday and asked about the 6256i, and of course they knew nothing about it. But when I gave them the sku # and asked them to look it up, lo and behold they found 5 under the counter. So I went in to check it out, and it seems okay, but frankly a bit outdated. It wasn't programmed so I couldn't try out call quality, but the interior screen is definitely not as sharp as the 8100, 815, 950 etc, as the specs suggest. The camera quality seemed fair, but again the spec (VGA) is behind the competition (1.3 MP). The Verizon branded box and owners manual clearly state full bluetooth capability (which the sales rep didn't quite believe). The size, feel, and qulity of the phone are nice. The price is 2...

You're kinda missin' out on the point o' the phone, tho'. Yeah, the camera is average, an' so's the screen an' even the speakerphone.
But the reception, an' the call quality through the regular speaker, is jus' damn good.. best I've ever heard from a cell phone. There's also mo' features an' customization than I can shake a stick at, plus o'course the uncrippled bluetooth(if'n you care 'bout stuff like that).
But if you're goin' fo' screen an' camera above all else, you should prob'ly look into the Samsung 970. Dat thing's got a 2.0 megapixel camera an' a pretty big 262k colors screen. The RAZR an' Moto e815 are options too.

So, what's an SKU #? Would that be 6256i?
