You mean to tell me that Nokia is gonna take another shot at trying to release a quality phone on VZW's network? Wow!!! Let's hope this one pans out. The last decent (and hugely underrated) phone they had with Verizon was the 6315.
It's a basic phone that looks good... It will sell well. What's funny is they say that there will be no EVDO, and then in the screen shots it shows EV signal and 1X. Hummmm.
Yes Dee Man, you're correct, however the 6315, and the 6215 were simply Pantech Phones branded as Nokia, since Qualcomm and Nokia were in long turmoil over the CDMA chipset. However, the last GOOD phone that Nokia sold as CDMA was the 6255i. That was an actual Nokia phone, and honestly... one of the best phones I've ever owned. I still have it as my backup.

Ahhhhh..... the 6255. Almost forgot about that one. Nice and blue. And reliable. But if Nokia
ever got their act together with CDMA, I would love to see the Prism on VZW. I know it's a junk
phone, but it looks nice :-)
I don't see what is so bad about VZW's line up. I have a Flipshot and it is great. The only bad thing, is that they are taking what feels like FOREVER to release cool phones like the Glyde, Dare, Decoy, VX8560...

The Glyde will be out May 9th. As for the other three ... ???????????
Nice looking design, but the turquoise needs to go. That and those stupid touch music controls on the front. Put some real buttons there. And it looks like it doesn't have S40. I wonder who really designed this phone? Verizon or Nokia? So glad I don't have Verizon.
I dont know, it looks too much like something Samsung would turn out, it really doesnt reflect Nokia's design queues, unless they took a different approach for CDMA.
