So the only non-high-end candybars that Nokia seems to be releasing are for the "mobile third world"? And CDMA? They killed off their in-house CDMA development, with Pantech borrowing the Nokia badge for some of the Verizon offerings.

It's pretty sad out in CDMA land if you're a fan of the bar or slider form factor. Between Sprint (no phones) or Verizon (all phones from Samsung, LG, Motorola, or Pantech; all of them assimilated by the sluggish red UI Borg), you can barely find two bar or slider form factors. The Chocolate VX8500 (that iPod-knockoff abortion of a user interface) is about your only bar/slider in the CDMA realm, and of course you can't just get any compatible phone for them to activate.

My current phone is a Nokia 6015i on Verizon, but I'm contemplating jumping over to T-Mobile and making them activate a RIZR (when, or if, it ever gets officially released, and the asking price takes a nosedive). I just don't like clamshells; they're annoying to hold for extended periods of time.

I miss you, CDMA candybar.
