Pros: long battery life
Cons: Weird Sounds, Dropped Calls

The i1000 phone has not proved to be very reliable and it certainly isn’t durable. I have had to have it replaced three times. OK, OK. Once was my fault. I ran over it with the car but the other times it had fallen out of its cumbersome holder or it just...

Pros: small size, powerful and hands free
Cons: a lot of features to learn

As the CFO of a small company we had about a dozen different cell phones with a variety of carriers and plans. What a mess. I switched everyone to the Motorola i1000 and we are very excited. We have free radio contact between all employees in So.Cal....

Pros: small, very nice looking, and clear

It's important to distinguish between the phones and the service provider. Bell...

Pros: Size, durability
Cons: takes time to learn and get comfortable

Motorola finally got it right with the i1000 plus. It is not only durable (I have dropped it many times and it still keeps on ticking!) but with the expanding Nextel coverage, serves the business-minded workforce with a robust communication device. In...

Pros: Features, and Nextels service
Cons: Dead spots and dropped calls

I love my Nextel i1000. I was worried about using Nextel as my cellular service for my business, but the radio to radio feature is invaluable. I have about 25 phones set up for phone service and radio to radio service. The radio quality is awesome,...

Pros: Overall design, features and battery life
Cons: Without service, all the pros of the phone become moot!

I have both a Startac analog phone (using Alltel service) and a Nextel i1000 (using Nextel's service). The Nextel Phone is very well designed, has great features (caller ID, easy to use, etc.) and has all the battery life I need.

I am on a...

Pros: light weight, speakerphone, data support
Cons: customer service

I'll prefix this note by the fact that I have worked on the insides of several iDEN (the core Motorola technology behind the Nextel network) installations, and so my perspective is from the switching side of the network as well as using the phone.
