| comptech's Full Review: i1000plus Cell Phone |
I just purchased this phone and I am VERY pleased with it and the carrier.
I have been trying in vain to find a cellular carrier that serves Golden Gate Estates
(area 20 miles inland from the coast). and was just about gave up when a friend recommend Nextel.
This carrier is wonderful!!! NO dropped calls, static, or SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE
messages! Nextel has almost blanket coverage in this area. Well, enough about the provider,
on to the phone. I previously owned a StarTac and there is just no comparison to the I1000+.
The program function is a straight forward menu, unlike the StarTac. You just scroll though
it or, if you know what you want, just enter the number. Example: if I want to adjust the ringer volume,
I go to the program menu and enter 30. No scrolling through endless other features just turn the
volume down! This phone supports Caller-ID, Call Waiting, 3-way Calling, Call Hold and even has the
option for another line! You won't miss any calls because there is a Missed Call reminder and
the phone stores the last 10 numbers called/received. The built-in phone book stores up to
100 entries with fields for name, number, and Direct Connect ID. Direct Connect is a 2-way radio
function that lets you talk with anyone else that has a Nextel phone at a fraction of the cost of cellular
minutes. You could also send numeric or text message to the phone if you don't want to disturb the
person with a phone call. One feature I particularly like is the option to silence all alerts and switch
to a vibrating alert. Great for when you're in a meeting or movie theater. The only thing that I think needs
improvement is battery life. However, when you take into account the multitude of features in this phone,
the battery life is more acceptable. The I1000plus also offers web access, but I didn't subscribe to this
function, so I really can't rate it. For those of you interested, this phone has a SAR rating of 0.43. This is the
amount of radiation you are exposed to when the phone is transmitting. This is an excellent rating, as most
phone are rated at 1.25 to 1.75. If you want to minimize your exposure, use the speakerphone whenever possible.
