Pros: "Walkie Talkie" feature
Cons: Dropped calls, clumsy programming

I am a sales representative in Southern California, with a territory ranging 30 miles of the 210 Freeway. MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA. It is virtually impossible to complete a conversation on this phone. I signed a one year contract and paid $100 for this...

Pros: Durability, sound quality, speaker phone quality.
Cons: Horrible company, horrible network.

I have spent more time on the phone with Nextel trying to correct their billing errors than I have with talking to friends and business partners. It took them a span of 4 months to correct a mystery charge of over $80 that I was forced to pay twice...

Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Not very dependable

My husband and I both have one of these phones. His works fine, mine doesn't. My husband uses his for work and likes it because it is very lightweight. I like it because when you open the flip top the part where you hear is right at your ear and the part...

Pros: Tons of features
Cons: Battery life not great if you use the phone much.

This is a great phone with tons of features. I really like the speakerphone section making it a handsfree model. The battery life I have not found to be that great since I use the phone for a business. The direct communication is another nice feature...

Pros: Speaker phone, light weight, dependable
Cons: no clips or carriers exist that allow you to see who's calling without removing first

I waited for years for the price of the i1000 to fall within my price range. Boy am I glad I waited. I got the newer version with speakerphone and I'm so pumped.
The size is perfect the range is divine, and the clarity is much better than previous...

Pros: Lightweight, Compact compared to other Nextel phones
Cons: Slim line battery has a short life

My job requires me to carry a Nextel phone, so that I can keep in constant contact with others in the workplace. When i received my first Nextel it was big and bulky. I decided to go purchase a smaller more compact one for myself.

When using...

Pros: Affordable, lasts long, speaker phone, two way radio.
Cons: A bit complicated to use and a bit bulky.

This is a very good business phone. The two way radio is very handy. The speaker phone is also very handy especially when driving a car. This phone is very sturdy and will last you a very long time. The bad thing about this phone is that it is a bit...

Pros: Great Clarity (when in service), Direct Connect, Great new improvement!
Cons: Some dead zones, low battery life at times.

Okay, so my title sounds like an advertisement yea, but I must say that after a month of usage, I'm very happy with my Nextel service.

I previously had Sprint and Verizon. Sprint, I don't even need to go there with, and Verizon was good, but...

Pros: Speaker Phone, Direct Connects, Small, Compact
Cons: Phones & Plans are expensive, programming hard to understand

My husband and I purchased the twin pack of the Motorola i1000 Plus from Office Depot in Florida. They were about $150. The salesperson called Nextel to see if we could get the phones turned on from there. One of our major decisions to choose Nextel...

Pros: Compact, direct connect is nice.
Cons: POOR battery life... Coverage could be better.

This is a nice phone, with the direct connect (two-way cb) functionality. Makes it very easy to quickly contact someone and not be forced to leave a voice mail message.

The battery life on this phone is poor. If you talk any amount of time,...

Pros: Speaker Phone, 2-way radio, text paging
Cons: Low Battery Life. Accessories from Motorola are expensive. Interferes with TVs and Computer monitors.

I have had cell phones for some years now, but they have always been bulky and were never really comfortable.

Originally, I have 2 bag phones, then a Motorola Slim TacII flip (not the small Star Tac, and finally a Qualcomm. I have always...

Pros: Speakerphone, two-way radio, e-connections (text pages, web capable, etc).
Cons: Short battery life when used often, conversation delays, connection drops, RF interference with other electronics.

We purchased several of the Nextel i1000plus units for my department. In our evaluation we looked at Sprint PCS and Nextel. We chose the i1000's because of the two-way feature which PCS did not offer at the time. Prices were similar between the two....

Pros: Too many to list
Cons: phone itself is pricey

This phone just about has it all! The features are endless,from speaker phone to call waiting. I can't begin to express my felling for this phone. The size is perfect for pockets ( I hate phone covers) but even the carrier is light. I currently own one...

Pros: Super features, good sounding audio, web access
Cons: Breakable, occasional poor reception

For the past few years, I have been an AT&T customer. They were the only wireless carrier offering a Nationwide Rate Plan which didn't tack on roaming, long-distance, etc. Being in a business that has me travelling all over the country, I wanted just...

Pros: its a motorola. 2-way radio, good reception
Cons: a little big and heavy

i purchased my i1000 in december of 2000. i bought it because i was fed up with sprint and there service, kept getting cut-off and terrible area coverage. my old job used nextel phones and everyone seemed to like them. so do i. ive never had a problem...
