I just switch from ATT business to Cingular business and it still took more than a week to port my number. I tried 2+ years ago when they first merged with ATT but each department blamed the other for not completing the transaction. After many, many phone calls & 10+ hours of "customer care", I gave up. The only reason for not switching providers... was the fabulous discount of 16% plus I had virtually no problems and good clarity even on the old TDMA service of ATT. I relocated a bit and travel a lot so I need a good solid "US" network. I had a TDMA Nokia "brick" phone, which is durable, reliable and still in decent shape. The Nokia 6102i was the lowest of the 2 flip phones offered for my "upgrade". I was skeptical after I read the reviews for this phone on cnet. I use Amazon reviews a lot for my purchases and found they more accurately reflected my own experiences with the products. And after reading the reviews here, I did not cancel the phone. I ordered the RAZR a few months earlier with another provider, when Cingular was telling me I'll need to jump through hoops again but thanks to the numerous, detailed descriptions of the reviewers here, I cancelled that order and that contract. As for the Nokia 6102i, as stated by many other reviewers here, it's a decent phone with VGA camera plus bluetooth. I have it for 2 weeks but service for 1 week and the battery life is great!!! I played with the phone and most of its functions, talked on it for 2+ hours, took 7 pictures, IR sync and after 1+ week, it just dropped to 2 bars out of 4...description on Cingular have talk time at 4 hours. Speakerphone was loud and decent, voice dialing and voice recording works well plus I did not have low volume or inaudible ringer as stated on cnet. Speakerphone is not one touch activation as other phones but 3 steps. I have the phone setting to outdoors and it's really loud. Pictures were really good quality for a camera phone. The phone book and menu is not well arranged as others. I had to go to the manual twice. If you're use to using stuff out of the box immediately, you might get a bit frustrated. It's not sleek but does have a nice solid feel/heft. Haven't tested the bluetooth or internet service yet. I'm also trying the LG CU400 since that was the phone I originally requested but was denied. Overall, I'm tempted to keep this phone and cancel the order for the LG because it's a good functional phone and all of the features I need meets or exceed expectation.
