About a week ago, I ordered a Nokia 6820 from Amazon, which included rebates such that the phone was effectively free. (Which is better than AT&T Wireless' deal of $199) Of course, I do have to send in and wait for the rebate, which is not a big deal to me.
It finally arrived today.
I did have to switch cell phone providers and I did want to keep my old phone number, so I also had to jump through hoops to get that switched over (which should happen in the next 6 - 24 hours, or so they claim). I haven't read the manual yet to find out all the capabilities yet, but it does have Bluetooth and a built-in cameraphone in addition to the feature which was the primary motivation for switching -- the flip-out QWERTY keyboard.
Update: It took approximately 3 hours to switch over.
I'll do a full review later once I get home.
The Nokia 6820 is pretty different from my Nokia 3390. One of the main differences for instance that instead of having a single button in the middle for making selections, there is now a joystick. The menu system is almost the same as my previous phone, except that it now adds several new sections. I have not been able to find for instance, the Keyguard function, which I've grown accustomed to always setting. It has a calendar, an improved contacts section, a to-do-list, and a place for memos. It also has a little thing for AIM/ICQ messaging (I'm going to have to figure out how that works) as well as a web browser (I'll likely never use that function)
