Any Idea why the Nokia 6188 is sold out? Seems to be a CDMA phone using the Nokia CDMA chipset.

Just a guess....but most of the CDMA carriers stopped selling the 61xx because it did not contain a browser. I didnt find any references to the wireless web on Clearnet's site, but I assume that they will be launching the service soon.

The 6185i (a 6185 w/browswer) should be available during the 4th quarter....every single sale that Nokia records due to this phone will almost certainly be due to the power of brand. The phone is completely out-dated (especially if they don't drop the price from $199).

The second link provide one of the most complete reviews of a phone that I have ever seen. It seemed like he was fairly impressed by Nokia's offering....
