Best Buy has lots of them in my area, and I've heard Radio Shack has them, but none to be found at local stores. If you go to Best Buy, be persistant because often times they're locked up under the cabinet.

Best Buy. As mk mentions you need to be persistant there. Call, and if they don't know ask them to look up SKU 7302616. Cost is $249 or $149 w/ 2 year re-up.

I live in Southern California in a suburb of Los Angeles. I signed up for ONE year with the$39 a month plan. I ended up paying more, but I want options more than I want $50.

Nokia 6256i $149.99 with a $50 mail-in rebate
Nokia BLUETOOTH Headset HS-11W $78.99
Shipping: FREE
Calif tax $26.75

Total: $255.73
Minus $50 for the rebate: $205.73

This transaction was with LET'S TALK and its Partners.

I hope this helps you.

it was on a commercial ...just seein if anyone knew about it ...my dad runs the cellular connection (a verizon agent).. and he said that sometimes they do wierd things like that on the west coast to get some new customers (wierd i know) but they had a special number you had to call to get it .. you couldnt just call customer service and i think it was for new acts only ...but i dont really know thats why im askin on here ..it might have only been for like a short period so it might be over already ....wish they would do that around me though i need it ive done 20,000 texts in the last 3 months so i need a plan like that

Hi,

I live in NJ and picked up mine this weekend at Radio Shack. Funny thing is according to Verizon I wasn't eligible for the NE2 upgrade until Nov-2006, but according to Radio Shack's computer I was eligible NOW! I guess their systems don't talk to each other or there's some loop hole? Anyway, I was able to pickup a brand new 6256i for a mere $59.99!!! No rebates or anything to mail in. Couldn't believe it! Very happy with the phone so far. The only two downsides I've found so far are the side volume keys, which are poorly placed, large, and far too easily depressed accidentally (adjusting the volume when u don't want to) and the fact that there is no separate button for the speaker phone....you have to push one of the menu keys...

Great to hear you got a good deal. But for what it's worth, the guys at Radio Shack lied to you. RS cannot offer NE2 - what they told you was a load of crap to get you to buy it from them. All they did was knock off a couple hundred dollars and said "we'll give you the ...

Well, come to think of it, they never actually used the NE2 terminology....I just assumed that's the discount they were giving me, since the phone has a $249 retail, and the cheapest elsewhere I could find it was at Best Buy for $149. But hey, whatever you wanan call it, I'll take a $250 Bluetooth phone for $59.99 any day! Peace!

No kidding - they gave you a good deal. It just burns me to know how sleazy RS is when it comes tho this stuff.

According to the tracking information at FedEx, the delivery truck will arrive today, at very latest 7:30PM and probably some time before then.

I ordered a Nokia BlueTooth earbud with it -- the longer rectangular one rather then the roundish one because it has a softer rubbery gizmo that goes around the ear.

I will get a $50 rebate, but I opted for a ONE year plan just to keep my options open. Your enthusiasm for the 6256i makes me feel good. After I receive mine today, if it is not too late, I will drive to the Nokia Experience Center and they will "set it up" for me, including the BlueTooth earbud.

Great- let me know what you think of the phone, and more importantly the Bluetooth headset! I've read the reviews on many different brands of Bluetooth headsets, and it seems like it's hard to find a good performer. I'm currently considering these:

OK, I copied all those URLs down just for information. I bought the Nokia earbud mainly bc I previously tried a Nokia BlueTooth earbud at the Nokia Experience Center and was pleased with the sound.

Some people here have also recommended the Motorola 850 earbud.

The Plantronics earbuds look odd to me.

Was that for new customers or old ones. Where do you live when I went to radioshack they told me $299 I said no way Jose and left.

This was for old customers. I had my old phone for 3 years, so I was eligible for an upgrade discount, which is actually better than the NE2 that I'm eligible for from VZW.
