I'm more amazed why do Verizon need to have so shitty phones.
I mean i havent seen Nokia phone less than 2mp for 2 years 0.0
Verizon got so small user base for European and Asian phone giants that it's no point to really push any products out there. Just making same phones with different shell.
Nokia, your phone is putting me to sleep...
this should be $0 on a contract...
Its why nokia phones haven't been big at verizon in ages....they just never get any better.
Sure you can change the casing, but thats all they really changed.
Nokia 6205 PHAT!
you have to pay for it!! it belongs in 2004
I'm glad you're publicly bashing the Verizon UI. I've been using my Moto E815 for 2.5 years now, and though I'm due for an upgrade, I can't bear the thought of dropping the traditional Moto UI for VZW's awful experiment in anti-usability.
where can i find that wallpaper on that external screen?! its awesome, and i looked for ages... cant find anywwhere!!!!!
you can stop your frantic searching now, i got it, i looked at the poster i have on the wall of it, then saw the top.... got the poster off net, some quick slicing and dicing and viola! now i dont need to buy this phone (i know i know "oohh wwaaaaa faaaail the phone doesnt come with that wallpaper! waaa to many iphone posts!!!"
acid much?
I heard the Black DK version launches on VZW.com next week and Blue version will be out in July. Seems like the first of many phones for Nokia on VZW.
Nice, the look reminds me of the KRZR, lets hope it doesn't turn out like the KRZR in any other way.
You guys bitching about this phone need to chill. The Nokia rep showed this at our sales meeting this week and it is actually a nice phone. It certainly looks MUCH better than the current LG and Samsung we sell with comparable features.
We were told the black version is available online and the blue in stores in July.
I think there is still a market for simple phones. If anything I think this phone as too many features. Make it simple, compact and rugged, and offer it free with contract. Not everyone is interested in all the toys. Bring back something like the Motorola Startac. That is still the best cell phone I ever owned.
I agree. I'm a pretty big Nokia fan (own a N76, owned a 6170, 8890, 8860,etc...wife owns an N82, had an 8801, etc.) and would like to see more Nokias out there. Hopefully this is the first of many phones to finally roll out by Nokia for CDMA. My secondary phone is a Sprint Mogul which I use for my data needs and I would love to replace it with a high end Nokia PDA device in the near future.
Although the Batman thing here is kind of funny. Batman has always had the best gadgets so this is kind of insulting.
NOKIA phones are far from"simple" phone !!!!
If you have a RAZR or similar phone on Verizon, you can put custom firmware on it and get rid of the horrible Verizon UI.
Wow, I can't wait to get this or one of the other crap dumb phones they announced this week! Really, I'm not interested in the Touch Pro or symbian based smart phone.
I'm happy to see they really step it up for the 13 year olds on the network...
fortunately for us Brazilians, Vivo (the only CDMA carrier here) launched its GSM network a couple of years ago, and we have lots of Nokia phones that are at least decent.
including Nseries and Eseries.
I don't see what's so bad about this phone. If you want it in black, you HAVE to get the "Dark Knight" edition, whether you like Batman or not. All I do with a phone is talk on it, text message a bit, and take a picture every once in a while. Oh, and I use it as an alarm clock.
AND THAT'S IT.
Anyone who thinks they need all these high-tech, fancy phones that do all kinds of other B.S. are playing at being "grandiose." Internet? Do it at home, and it's cheaper, too.
NOKIA are still the best phones....there's no arguing on that.
No wonder it's the best sold phones in the world,except here in the U.S,
aslo what i hate here in the U.S.,that you are very limited to cell phones.
in other countries i walk into a store i choose a phone that "I" like,you have choise of hundred's of phones,and then you choose tha carrier you like, but here you are limited to a few phone that your carrier has.
i'm transferring to Verizon now because AT&T is crap ,bad bad reception....
on the day that i went on the Verizon website ,i saw that NOKIA 6205.
now i'm just waiting for it to be shipped to me,
CAN'T WAIT......:)
This phone is NOT a NOKIA !!!!!!!!!
it's a VERIZON phone with a Nokia logo on it.
Verizon changed everything on it,i got my wife the LG chocolat and it's the same as the nokia,just different packaging.
come on VERIZON we in 2008 not 1994 !!!!!
i love nokia phones cause of their technology....
DON'T GET THIS PHONE.....
"Z0MG its not a n0kia bcuz the Verizon ui makz it not n0kia!!11!!!1"
It's still a Nokia phone by hardware. The firmware is modified by the carrier to their standards. That's so people don't need to take college clases to learn how to use their new phone because the menus are different.
