The Nokia 6185 is listed on the Sprint PCS website, but not yet available. What will our friend say about a 180 gram weight, 3.75 hr. talk, and 115 hr. standby with the extended Lithium Ion battery?

Well well, I got good news and some bad news.
I took all day off to talk with Pimpel poping BAM employees.
The good news is that BAM, The second largest Carrier in the US, The bigest CDMA carrier, and a leader in their industry will not carry NOKIA CDMA phones. They have no need for a tri-mode phone, and its software is incompatible with their handoff system.
The bad news is that thin phone wont be here for atleast 30 days due to software instalations???. The Audiovox will be the next premium phone offered by BAM. I think the use Q chips so that is good!
There will be no competition for thin phone at BAM. The Q should be able to sell as many as they can make.

I got a Sony(QcomQCP clone) and found it far superior to NOKIA's in sound quality and usability. Frankly the voice clarity was better then my MOT!
