Nokia 3155i / VI-3155
Well, it supports BREW- Does that mean it coming for Verizon?
Not necessarily. It supports Java or BREW - it's carrier-dependent.
So Sprint might carry it, in which case Nokia would produce a customized Java version for them.
...OR, Verizon might carry it, in which case Nokia would produce a customized BREW version for them.
In theory, each is equally possible, or it could be both.
And then there are the regional carriers, most of whom also use BREW, so even if it were BREW-only, that certainly would be no guarantee of Verizon carrying it.

Gosh, I really hope VZW does get it... this seems like the phone I've been looking for- speakerphone, trimode, no camera, small, good battery life... its everything I want, except that its not good-looking. 😉

It is going to be a Sprint phone, I just got the release papars this mornin

The 3155i doesn't support BREW 😢 I really wanted this phone for VZW!

Eh? The PhoneScoop profile indicates that it does support BREW (version 2.1):

I dunno.. Nokia's website is a little more official than PS I would think, as much as I love this site.

Yah, but the thing is, its not just Phonescoop... pretty much everyone covering the CTIA show reported that the 3155 has BREW support:

Yeah, but isn't the US getting the 3155i, not the 3155? I mean, I sure hope those other reports are correct and it will come to Verizon. I'll buy it the first day it's available if it does!
...
CTIA is an American show... it took place in New Orleans this year. So the reports coming out of it would seem to be for the US version of the 3155, whatever they want to call it.
The thing thats still of concern is the fact that even BREW support is not a 100% guarantee of Verizon getting this phone, as some regional carriers use BREW also, and concievably this phone could be released for them and not for Verizon.
Still, if Nokia is really serious about selling a lot more CDMA phones in North America (which they've said they are), wouldn't it make sense to release it on what is by far the largest CDMA carrier in North America? You'd think so, anyway. 😕
