Cool! I only wonder if they have the green gamma edition for The Incredible Hulk and crimson/gold edition for Iron Man...

Or Red, White and Blue for Captain America? -Seriously, I've been using a 6256i (the "i" stands for "I" can't believe I'm still with Verizon) for a few years now. I bought the 6256i phone at the beginning of 2006, but interestingly Verizon had locked all the features out of the phone for personal ringtones. A number of hacker sites were able to underground a copy of Nokia's proprietary "Nokia Diego" phone programming software (employee only), wherein the features of the mp3 ringtone were able to be unlocked. Unfortunately Verizon had permanently disabled the firmware allowing for personal music, so one can only play an album of music as a single Hugh-Jazz audio file which has to be restarted if anyone interrupts you (like with a telephone call heaven forbid).

Yet at the time it was among the most compact Bluetooth phones, has FM radio, and allows moderate syncing capability with Outlook. Unfortunately, it isn't "Smart" syncing capability, as it doesn't understand recurring appointments and schedules any recurring appointment in you your calendar continuously until the calendar runs out of room. I actually couldn't care less about texting or web surfing, but calendars and appointments- a must have. Similarly, once you had synced once, you wouldn't want to do it twice, as the syncing software moved names in from Outlook as Lastname, Firstname to Firstname Lastname in the phone. If you tried to sync twice it read all the names as new entries back into Outlook!

As I will not deal with such craziness again, I've decided to hold off and buy a real Smartphone. The problem: which phone? It is not going to be the Dark **** Probe.
