Pros: Look, Looks you get, capabilities and questions asked about the phone and service.
Cons: Cost, battery life.
The Bottom Line: If you don't need all the bells and whistles, buy the i60c, if you need portability, get this phone. For your own sake!

| jedwardtaylor's Full Review: Motorola i95cl Cell Phone |
Let me start out by retracting my previous statement of the i1000 Plus being the sexiest mobile phone on the planet. I stand corrected. Although the i90c was/is a great phone, it was quickly outshadowed by the unveiling of the i95cl.
Ok, you can stop drooling for a minute, please. Once you get over the initial oohs and aahs of this phone, you gasp at the price. I have had mine since August, right after it came out and there are no major concerns or problems, yet. Aside from an occasional software upgrade, there really isn't too much maintnance to go along with this phone. Yeah, you only get about a day of stand-by and talk time on one charge, but if you are like me, you are on the run all the time, so while in the car: 'Plug it in, plug it in.'
While the basic function of Motorola/Nextel phones remains the same, the 95 lets you decide a whole slue of options to make the phone better fit your lifestyle. They call it 'ergonomics' I call it re-organising. Anyway, The awesome look of the phone begins before you even open it. The nifty purplish-blue of the display on front lets you see more clearly than ever before and is actually quite bright. There have been a few times where the phone has doubled as a low beam flash light, rather than a phone.
Once opened, you are amazed at the size of the 1.5" screen and the choice of backgrounds. Although it is hoped that 'Moto' will wise up and pop a small software upgrade that lets you upload your own pic to the phone... Hint, hint, hint. The ease of use and functionality is still there, but in a prettier package.
If you use your Nextel phone to Text-message or write email with their MSN/AOL affiliations, you have much more space with which to both send and receive these messages. They have the ability to be pretty long, so purchase the keyboard; you'll love it. If not, I'll eat a bug.
The phone is the flag-ship of Nextel's line and shouldn't be over looked. If you need a PDA, Phone, Pager, Memo Pad, Two-way Radio and an email account, don't pass this one up!!!
Happy Talking, Chatting, Emailing, etc. ; )
