Just some followup.

We have had two of these since early October and they are doing well. Good easy to use phone in a really shiny case.

No issues with connectivity or battery life.

DO get a case for this though.. or it won’t stay shiny for long.

Oh one last thing… It keeps telling me to burn things is this normal?
I’m just kidding, its really the Ipod that says that.

The Crystal Lake, Illinois store sold me the mural after all stores were told to not see the phone. They took me to myxer.com to download songs, because even a att. tech couldn’t download songs on the internet and he told me to take it to the closest store, which was Crystal Lake, Il. The store passed off this phone without telling me of the problem. Thank you at&t.

I just bought one too last night. I bought it because it was the second cheapest one available and the salesman told me it was “3G”. What a load of….Its not a big deal because it was $50 and the freebie available was just about the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Anyway, does this phone seriously not have any free ringtones?? And how the **** do you put it on silence?

Thanks….

I just bought one last night for $100.00 and then a $50.00 MIR. How can you tell if you have 3g or 2g? and what is the big difference? I have thirty days to decide if I want to keep it or exchange it. Any suggest for a good cellphone? I work for the school system and all the kids phones can pickup in the building bu I have not been able to find one that will pick up, any ideas?

I need a book titled “Cellphones for Dummies”

I just bought one on Saturday. Don’t know if anything has been updated… If it’s the same service I got from my last AT&T phone (also Nokia) I will be using the insurance a lot!

And the colors don’t change each time you open it (at least not any more).

How can I tell is updates were made and if this thing is what it should be?

@Mik,

NOT ONLY THAT, but the rebate required some kind of $20 data plan. I don’t understand why everyone keeps reprinting that it’s $50. You’d think there would be a post “AT&T sells dumb-phone that doesn’t work for double expected cost”. I am really liking BGR (but I still check engadgetmobile, if only for the sarcasm but I am disappointed that people just quote press releases and don’t follow up. Common, dudes, this is your biz here

@ gabriella

If 1 or 2 phones have issues connecting to 3g, that does not mean the network is fragile and unreliable, it’s a software issue. The 50+ other phones connect to it perfectly. How ignorant do people get?

@Gabriella,
Like the post says, it is a production bungle. The only difference between US 3G and the 3G they use in the entire world are the frequencies at which the radios operate on. Other than that it is the same standard. I would guess that they were all manufactured with radios operating on the wrong frequency.

That’s what I was thinking…for instance I knew about our A-List before anyone on my team. Thanks to BGR

Besides … it was not $49.99 as Nokia’s 09/02/09 Press Release stated (the Press Release is still there, on the Nokia USA site), instead the price was $99.99 after $50 MIR on the AT&T’s Nokia page. What’s going on? Looks like a total screw-up.

Totally agree man, CSP is worthless when it comes to getting us up to date before the public.

why the hell dosent att let customers switch it from 2g to 3g when ever they want is that just to much to ask >>??? what do they possibly gain by leaving the phones stuck on 3g all the time it wastes battery life if your like me and live in the country where there is no 3g likely ever its just retarded

What of the people who already purchased this phone… or wait… DID anyone buy this phone?

By: Gabriella

Gabriella — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:25:24 +0000

Why does it seem that so many phones seem to have issues with ATT’s 3G network? Is it that fragile and unreliable?

Both the manufacturers and the carrier have testers who are supposed to bug and debug these types of issues well before release.

Lol. I think this is the same issue as with Nokia 6650! Looks like ATT doesn’t like Nokia too much!!! Who cares for 3G when the lights of your phone change every time you flip it)))
