Nokia's to T-Mo vs AT&T ?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I'm a long-time AT&T / Cingular customer - wanting a new Nokia - and seems like T-Mo keeps getting the Nokia I want (i.e., including FM radio). Some time back T-Mo got the 6263, now there's rumors about a 6561 (or something like that) that includes FM - but AT&T can't seem to land those while T-Mo does.

I've got the N75 (unlocked & unbranded) but still use my 6230 & 6102 as my day-to-day phones. I've always been satisfied with AT&T but if this keeps up may have to re-consider.

Anyone know of a new Nokia mid-range flip coming to AT&T with FM radio?

Thnx

Tmobile branded handsets are terrible..not sure why you would want to switch for one over an unbranded one. Theres also the 6126 which is a pretty capable device. Just get an Unlocked 6131 or N76

Thanks for the input - I had a 6126 and the keypad surround started to separate the 3rd day I had it so it went back. N76 seems very close to my N75 and although Symbian has a lot of flexibility and gee-whiz it's not for me on a day-to-day basis.

6126 is a cheap device, have used 2 of them, no probs with keyboard are, but 1st one had defective earpiece. Reception is good enough, but not the best. I still like it because of its screen, powerful CPU, and flip button though, and its currently in my pocket, though i primarily use my 8525

N76 is hot, i've personally used one, the OS a lot quicker than a branded N75.

What are your crits of Symbian? Just curious as I'm looking to switch soon and never had a smartphone.

Not really "critical" of Symbian - it's fantastic from a flexibility standpoint and all the programs available to download to it. Just that in my day-to-day use it was a bit of an overkill. I guess I'd almost compare it to the difference between DOS & Windows ... lots of stuff you can do you can do with it but there's also more to worry about.

I'm still holding my breath on the N95...ticks me off that Engadget gets info leaked about the new blackberry pricing and release date on AT&T but nothing in terms of other Nokia products...agh!

N95 is NOT coming to ATT, you can exhale now.
a decent flip with FM adn its 3g is the SE z750

I have always been happy with picking up unlocked Nokia's to use with my ATT service the one I had right before my iPhone was N73 and I loved that phone. The one thing that I am kind of pissed of by Nokia is the lack of a replacement for the 6230 that phone was the best ever I would love a phone like that with US 3G

Tmobile might have more nokias but none of them are s60 I think they just have s40 handsets so I wouldn't bother. The n95-3 would be a nice choice I'm sure you wouldnt be looking at phones for a while that that badboy

Isn't the latest version of that the N95-4 8gb?
