Sure, you might be the biggest Christian Bale fan in the world right now, but what about this time next year when
The Dark Knight DVDs are already collecting dust on bookshelves around the globe? That was the million-dollar question on our minds when we heard that Verizon was commemorating the launch of its
Nokia 6205 and the latest Batman flick with a tied-in version of the low end flip. Turns out it's all good, though -- a look through the custom packaging revealed a grand total of two battery covers, one with the Batman logo and one without, so it should be pretty easy to avoid those embarrassing "what's with the batphone?" queries in a few months' time. Otherwise, there's very little to say about the phone -- it truly is a minimalist flip -- though we're definitely excited to see Nokia's apparently renewed commitment to working not just with CDMA, but with CDMA carriers in North America.

So much for it actually being a Nokia with that crappy Verizon GUI....what a waste.
Why does everyone hate the Verizon software? The only thing I don't like is the crippled Bluetooth functionality. Other than that, I'm just fine with it.
Because The Verizon UI is slow as ****, Alex
I switched my krzr from Verizon to Bell and the default UI is VERY fast.
Not only does it have crippled bluetooth, they whore off Vcast everywhere, I can now transfer Mp3s through obex and apply as a ringtone instead of paying verizon or using a website to send me the file.
Looks a hell of a lot like LG's AX565.

Not a big fan of themed phones like that. (See also the phones they made for the Matrix). Unless you're pretty hardcore about the theme, the novelty wears off fast.
whack
Does it work as a Bat-a-rang?
