Nokia 6255i (Unlocked) Cellular Phone

I personally own a 6255i I happened to pick it up on eBay from a true A+ seller. Over all I rate this phone excellent. I work in a remote area where other phones I had in the past just could not cut it because of weak cell tower strength. Nokia excels in this area. I also enjoy using the built in fm radio and MP3 player when walking. The camera is handy, but only if high definition imaging is not required.

The pros,
Nokia well known great signal strength in fringe areas.
Good form factor for clam shell phone.
Excellent battery life even while in fringe signal areas.
Good quality speaker.
Good quality microphone.
Excellent MP3 player
Good quality fm radio.
Quick connectivity to other devices via bluetooth, irda, and USB cable.
Nokia's easy to navigate menus
Sound quality of captured video very good.
Both displays are of excellent quality.
Key pad of good size, well back lit, function keys of the same quality
Camera controls arranged for ease of use and remember there is a build in flash.
With optional MMC card this phone becomes a data bank.

The Cons,
Phone is a bit bulky compared to other clam shell design, but still within reason.
Phone also a bit heavy, but still within reason.
Images produced by the 1 mega pixel camera at best only fair.

All in all the 6255i can give the Motorola RAZR 3m phone a real run for the money.

PROS
-Good Reception (I use Metro PCS)
-Good Battery Life
-Speaker Phone pretty good
-MP3 Player (Love it F*** IPOD's) could play it on loud speaker also and sounds awesome like carrying around a boombox.
-MMC Memory Card Slot I use 1 GB =P thats enough however you can go for 2 but damn thats alot of music.
-FM Stereo could also play on loud speacker also and sounds great and good station reception but need to have earpiece plugged in.
-Bluetooth Technology always a plus
-Send and receive pictures, sounds, and all that other good stuff.
-Cool Games but never play it though
-Simple menus as usual for a nokia
-And whoever said you can't play MP3's as a ringtone YOU ARE WRONG YES YOU CAN BUDDY!
-Pretty good picture quality for a camera phone. Flash kind of sux.
-Can record videos and watch MPEGS.

Cons
-menu button in middle kind of small

THE PROS OUTWEIGHS THE CONS BY ALOT. THIS PHONE IS A WINNER YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED.

WE ALL WAITED FOR THIS PHONE FOR A LONG TIME, AND IT IS NOW HERE. COMBINING BLUETOOTH, VIDEO, MP3 AND EVEN AN FM RADIO THAT REALLY WORKS, OUTSIDE ANYWAY. NICE AND LOUD, AND RECEPTION IS FLAWLESS. OF COURSE THAT IS ONLY ON THE U.S. CELLULAR NETWORK. THE PHONE IS CAPABLE OF PHENOMENAL SIGNAL, BUT ONLY IF THERE IS A TOWER TO USE IT. U.S. CELLULAR HAS A BETTER NETWORK THAN VERIZON BECAUSE THEY USE VERIZON’S TOWERS IN ADDITION TO THEIR OWN. I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL THE VERIZON PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT PAY MORE THAN THEY SHOULD FOR SERVICE THAT IS NOT AS GOOD. THE 6255i IS A STEP DOWN FROM SOME OTHER MODELS OF NOKIA THAT INCORPORATE PDA FEATURES, BUT IS GREAT NONE THE LESS.

Im in customer service for Alltel, I can tell u that nobody ever calls in to complain about this phone! Who would not want a phone that is the BEST coverage (NOKIA IS!) and MP3 with digital zoom and camera with a Flash. And last but cerainly NOT least, BLUETOOTH! Who does not love bluetooth technology?! Great Phone all around, and there is a slot in back for memory card! Great phone nokia came out with, and their first flip/bluetooth! Needless to say, I have 3 Nokia 6255i... and should get rid of them, so I will sell one but keep other two!

I was with Verizon Wireless in the midwest area and after switching to U.S. cellular and getting my 6225i, i don't want to go back to another phone. The signal is phenomenal. Also the feautures with the phone are endless, with Bluetooth, High-quality camera, High-quality video, Easy navigation, built in infared, memory card expansion, very nice speakerphone, MP3 player, and fully-functional FM radio that works very well. Plus the phone is built to last. All around awesome phone that outperforms many of it's overpriced competitors. It's too bad that U.S. cellular discontinued phone.
