Have been a member for a while but only recently started following the discussion on the Nokia 6265. Followed the ups and downs for about a month and watched the birth and death of a number of rumours. Bottomline was I had to change handsets from the antiquated 6225. Went to Irla in Mumbai this weekend and notwithstanding all rumours of stocks at dealers and test marketing of handsets etc, not one dealer in irla showed any sign of recognition at the mention of the 6265. That's reality. Sure hope it launches soon for all the interest that has been shown for the phone. Personally I've abandoned all hope and have moved instead to the nokia e61 which at a few thousand more (available for 18,250 at nokia stores in irla and 17000 cash at alfa) than the predicted prices of the 6265 is an awesome phone. If it means moving to GSM, then so be it. Thanks for the roller coaster ride though.
