When you release a new product, you either need to make it yourself to ensure it meets your quality control specs or watch the outsourced manufacturer like a hawk to make sure they do. Not that the 6101/6102 is a terrible phone, but it sure doesn't seem to compare favorably with Nokia's past efforts. |

| Nokia makes use of the enhanced resolution in other ways, such as allowing you to view text in a variety of sizes. Font size is now separately adjustable for the contacts, messaging and web applications. |

Do you remember how long after EDGE was ready on the networks before many manufacturers had EDGE phones? Some took a really long time, Sony Ericsson is a good example.

No warranty 5. How easy will it be to obtain newer firmware versions for the 6131 when they become available? I've never had an unbranded/unlocked phone before...I'm not even sure you can do that with Verizon, so I never considered it. Seems like a lot of people do it with Cingular though. |

Now it appears that if i'd only waited a month, I could have bought what looks like a North American version of the 6131 for full price from Cingular. Rotten luck. Is anyone using the 6131 with Cingular and had luck with settings? I'd appreciate any tips.
Thanks. Harry |
