Why is that bad..


I've alsways wondered why Sprint didn't carry Nokia
Prolly the most popular phone line cause of the changable faceplates

I wouldn't get one though, it doesnt look like it takes advantage of the new Sprint features
Color, PCSVison, etc..

Nokia makes really crappy CDMA phones, that's why.

My sister had nothing but problems with Verizon, caused by her cheap Nokia. I gave her my old LG, and now all is well, and she's ridiculously happy with Verizon now.

Its an ok phone but apparently still has some bugs that need to be fixed. I mean, its not even color. I forgot if Nokia still insists on using their own CDMA chips or if they finally gave in and used qualcomm chips.

besides the fact that nokias are pretty damn ugly, they are nice phones. i got me a 3360 for att and it's a tank o phone, for ruggedness and for the size.. i miss the days of 8860s and 8200s? (can't remember if that's the right number), but i like the last gens better than the uglies they got out now.

on the side note, i'm so glad i switched from sprint to att, coverage's much much better.. course this is a ymmv ^^

Whoa. Actually, before Samsung jumped into Sprint back in the 3500 days, Nokia was THE brand for Sprint so don't be so shocked. For the last few years they stopped dealing with one another for some reason but judging from some of the slick phones Nokia has in Europe I sure wouldn't mind owning one. In fact my first phone was a Nokia and I have gone thru two Samsung's and the Sanyo 5150 since. Lemme tell yah, the Nokia was probably 4 years old and was on par in terms of reception to the A500 and the 8500 Samsung's I owned and kicked the crap out of the piss poor 5150's reception.
