Hi folks. Thanks for all the info. I've had my 6265 for 7 months and it's now afflicted with the WSOD. After a dozen attempts I managed to get it up in safe mode and I don't dare turn it off. I wrote to Telus and this is what they said:

Please note that a special in-warranty program... More

I bought this phone in September '06. Worked fine and it was amazing for almost a year then the LCD screen started getting wonky and turning a reverse negative color, then after a day or so of this the screen died. I blame this on a rain storm i got caught outside in while the phone was in my pocket.... More

I have had the phone about a year. In the last few months issues with the Camera began. It just NEVER wants to turn on! I have the phone empty of music, pictures, videos. . .I have a card even for more room. It STILL does not turn on. If it does, only for one picture then days of not working! The phone... More

I've had this phone since Oct 2006.. been a year and a half now. It was working perfectly all along, and it was very useful for me, except it's size bugged me, since it was pretty much like a brick. Now i have the same issue as one of the users mentioned earlier. Apparently there's a software... More

I bought this phone when they discontinued the service on my old phone, a Sanyo that had worked flawlessly for 7 yrs. Telus gave me a $100.00 dollar voucher to buy a new phone so I did a little research and came accross this phone and it appealled to me. I liked the fact it had a good camera and the... More

When i first go this phone almost a year ago I wrote a review about how good this phone was. After a few months of use I had to ship it out to have it repaired because when I attempted to turn it on it would go through the start screens and eventusally turn off again. Once the phone came back (the... More

Like so many other reviewers, I too was impressed with the features of this phone: high resolution screen, exceptionally easy navigation, loads of features such as voice dialing, etc. Then after only 4 months, it became slower and slower to start up until eventually all I got was the blank "white... More

I've had this phone for just over a year now, and I have already sent it away for repairs 3 times within the first year and I am now experiencing the same problem for a fourth time, with the buttons on my phone slowly starting to not work one by one. This phone seems great but you can't judge... More

I bought this phone in Sept 2006, on a 3 year plan with Telus. Its now March 2008, and I am fed up. I kept receiving calls and was unable to hear my party. They too could not hear me. I soon realized that I was able to hear them and vice versa ONLY if I engaged the phone in SPEAKERPHONE mode or with... More

We bought this phone in Oct, 06 and hardly ever used because it started failing on us practically from day one. It simply doesn't boot up. When you try to turn on the phone, all that hand shaking screen shows up then it simply dies blank. Then in few seconds it shows another blue screen and asks... More

Same issue ...but Telus has extended warranty till Oct 2008

You really have to bug Telus for a ticket for this problem and take it to your ORIGINAL place of purchase. I was charged $35 for my wife's phone to be looked at as it is out of "official" warranty. I had the same problem with my son's phone but it was re-flashed under warranty.

Looks... More

I've had the exact same problem with my nokia 6265i for almost a year now. I bought mine at Future Shop, so their express exchange program has now sent me my fourth nokia of the same model because I've had the same issue with every single phone. Clearly there is an issue with this model. If... More

This phone was bought over a year ago and it is junk! First it started that the battery time became very short to the point of having to charge every day. Then the slider started grabbing and became hard to open and then started to do strange things when you open it. Some of these things are opening... More

WARNING: This phone blows.

I initially bought this phone for purely aesthetic reasons. It looked cool and the slide phone trend was just getting underway. I had it for about 6 months when things started getting glitchy I have now had it for over a year and it officially died yesterday. These are the... More

Got this phone since April/07, Nothing but troubles. Take them in for a total 6 times, They keep telling me that is the software's problem. Finally give up on them. I'm getting LG flip phone. Hopefully will be a better phone for me. Good luck!
