Hi! I am a complete Nokia fan since '94 when living in Europe. Unfortunately I had to move from ATT to Verizon when I moved from Boston to CT and their phone selection s@ck. Now, since Verizon seem to have the best coverage in the area, I would like to stick it out a bit to see if Verizon is going to add a bluetooth Nokia phone. Anyone know or do I have to move over to Cingular to get the phone that I want. Best, M
Verizon doesn't hav very many bluetooth phones... but since they have the best coverage in your area I'd just pick a different phone... every single phone ive had except for my two LG phones, were nokia, (nokia 5100 w/ US Cellular, nokia 5100 with Eloqui, and Nokia 1250 with Eloqui) and ALL have been trouble
I cannot stand flip phones and I want to stay with Nokia, or Sony Ericsson if is candy bar style. Wondered if there is any buzz out there regarding those brands and Verizon. M
Only a few high-end VZW phones have some BT. VZW almost always offers a Nokia bar, but currently is not. If you wait a while, they'll probably have one again. I wouldn't count on the BT, though.
when I went to the verizon store on Tuesday to sign up for new service, they had a cheap looking nokia phone for 19.99, but it wasn't bluetooth... and like someone else said even if they got a nokia phone it probably wouldn't have bt on it.
I think you are out of luck on this one. Verizon has no candy-bar style phone with bluetooth right now. If you want a Nokia you can get the 6015i but some places dont have this anymore so you might have to look around. There is also the Kyocera candy-bar phone. Other than that right now those are your choices the selction might suck like you said but most people want flip phones. I prefer candy-bar though and I can tell you from having the 6015i for 8 months now I love it.
Thanks. I will have to settle for the 6015i then, since I really do not want to move to Cingular. I really wanted BT since it will be illegal in CT after October to use your phone while driving unless you have handsfree, and I hate wired earpeaces. Thanks.
Cool glad to hear that you will go with this. I hate earpeices to but on average they are safer when driving.
Hands-free or not, talking on your cell is still a distraction from driving. When I do talk, it's usually under a minute.
I feel as if dialing is the worst part of using a cell phone in a car. I mean i talk on the phone constantly while driving (or I talk to the person in my passenger seat while driving) I really see no difference. The problem is when people start looking into their lap trying to find the right number on the number pad to dial. I think if there was a way to make it so you had to use voice dialing while in a car that would be the most help in reducing the distraction of cell phones.
I like the picture with the guy using the huge phone. Anyways to me personally a study can show one thing or another. But I feel alot safer when I use a hands free.
Gotta love the stock photos and video footage. I'll call and order pizza while I'm driving home, but some people talk for a lot longer. That can get dangerous. Maybe they should outlaw even using a cell while driving. When my wife is in the car, I drive and she answers the phone.
