| hipelmo's Full Review: Nextel i85s |
I bought my Nextel i88s phone in January from a Nextel retail store in Concord, CA. This Nextel phone was a replacement for a Nokia 3395 that was on the Cingular Wireless network. The Nokia had very poor service. I paid $120.00 for the i88s along with signing a one year contract.
The phone features
Voice activated dialing
Speakerphone
Phonebook-Hold up to 250 entries which are stored on the SIM card.This allows you to just take the card out and put it in another phone without having to re-enter your phonebook entries on the new phone.
Datebook
Messages
Nextel Direct Connect- This feature is the saleing point for Nextel. It lets you use the phone as a two-way radio to communicate directly to others without dialing a phone number.
GPS- This feature uses information from Global Positioning satellites orbiting the earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your phone, given as latitude and longitude. This information will be used someday when you place a call for a emergency.
This phone is just like the i80. The only difference is, that it has GPS. I think both i80 and the i80s are both very good phones. The screens are very big and bright. The buttons are very large and easy to use along with the four way disk that you use to move around the menus. The sound quality on these phones are far superior to my Nokia phone I had. The only problem I had was with the service. I was given a phone number that was used by someone before. I was getting allot of calls from people that thought I was someone else. I made many calls to Nextel customer service number and I had no luck on making them change my number. So I switched to AT&T wireless service.
