| catsmom's Full Review: Nextel i50sx |
My husband and I recently switched from Worldcom (not a moment too soon!) and signed up with Nextel. We were shopping for 2 phones to use with their Direct Connect feature that wouldn't be too expensive. We settled on the i50sx after reading other reviews, and have been very satisfied with our decision.
This phone has a lot of features, including wireless web and text messaging with a new "smart" technology that can fill in the rest of the word (saves on typing with those tiny keys!) Phonebook entries can be accessed by voice command, which comes in handy when driving. Nextel's Direct Connect feature has saved us many airtime minutes contacting each other. People we have called have remarked on the clarity of our voices.
As for durability, I can vouch for that. I have dropped the phone twice on parking lot pavement, and it doesn't even have a scratch, let alone any internal damage. The phone comes with a retractable rubber antenna that can be stored internally if not needed. The keypad and display are backlit, and you have the option of setting the amount of time it stays lit between actions (I chose 30 seconds, which is more than enough time.)
The phone comes with a security feature that requires you to punch in your PIN code before it can be used. This feature can be disabled if desired, but I keep it on to avoid unauthorized use in case I ever lose it.
You won't go wrong with this phone, and you can't believe all the extras. I think it has many features of some more expensive phones, and the quality and value can't be beat.
