Reviews for Motorola i830 Phone - Bronze (Nextel)

Do NOT reccomend for a talker
If you talk on the phone alot, this phone IS NOT for you. Phone gets VERY VERY hot, after about 15 minutes of talking. The battery runs out fast. I have bought 2 of these phones already I will Never buy another one. It is however super small and sleek, thats why i bought it. Reception Ok to Bad. I dont know if its cause nextels reception Sucks..or if its the phone itself? but i do have 2 of these phones and they work the same. Also Buttons on phone VERY small.. Overall, i dont reccomend.
So So...
I just received my i830 in the mail on Monday and so far I am very satisfied with the service BUT my biggest issue is the lame battery life. This morning I took my phone off the charger around 9:30 an dby 1:30 I had lost one bar of battery life. Other than that the phone and service is pretty good but not good enough for me to recommend this phone without some sort of extended battery life.
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!
First, do not waste your money with Nextel unless you absoutely need the direct connect feature. Their service is awful, dropped calls are a daily occurrence and there`s nothing more annoying than "Please wait while the Nextel customer you are trying to reach is located." But...onto the phone.

Pros:
1. It remains the smallest phone Nextel makes...extremely light, fits well in your pocket.
2. Nice display that can be read easily in almost any light
3. Exterior buttons are convenient and easy to use
4. Keypad is very small, but also easy to read with blue backlight
5. Although it is small, it seems as durable as all the other nextel phones, does not feel at all flimsy or like it`s going to break...it`s solid.

Cons:
1. Battery life is awful! This phone barely makes it through a day. If you talk often, it won`t make it through the day.
2. Keypad can be a little annoying, the buttons really are very small
3. The number one reason NOT to buy this phone under any circumstances is that the reception on this phone is absoutely disgusting! The phone constantly drops calls and if you literally stand in a 10foot x 10 foot room, you can go from no service to full service and back through no service within 1 minutes time, EXTREMELY unpredictable.

Worst of all...this is a KNOWN problem. Two Nextel stores by my house will not even sell the phone because there have been so many complaints. It is by far the worst phone Nextel makes as far as reception goes. It is being replaced now by the I-836 in which the problem has apparently been fixed. Bottom line, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE...unless of course you have another carrier`s phone near buy in case you need to make or receive calls.

Product Description of Motorola T6400 AA 2-Way Radio

Motorola brings together the power of General Mobile radio service (GMRS) with the convenience of Family Radio Service (FRS) in the TalkAbout T6400 two-way radio.

Reviews for Motorola T6400 AA 2-Way Radio

I have had FRS since the start
I started back when there was only one channel in FRS. I bought two radios from Radio Shack, they were the best of the whole bunch, but the dog chewed off the antennas one day. Ever since then I have not found a decent replacement. I bought other radios but had issues with them all. The good thing about these 6400`s over other radios I have owned:
-rechargable batteries save a lot of $$$
-rubberized trim for protection
-auto-off to save batteries
-call beeps, we use them as "code"

-large display
-good size belt click with no need for a case
-the dog doesn`t like the taste of these antennas. :>

I have two of these, I am buying a third for guests. I found the best radio!


nice features, mediocre sound
These radios have some great features like the automatic shut-off, but ultimately the sound quality is not that much better than the lower-end Motorola models. The voice scrambler is useless, it ends up making your voice sound like a robot.

I got mine from Office Depot for about the same price as the lower end T5300 series using a combination of store and manufacturer coupons. Otherwise, I`m not sure they`d be worth the extra money.


Not better than Midland G11C2
I bought one pair from BestBuy last month and tested them while taking a trip in Maine. FRS chanels works OK (good sound quality) but only gave me 1.5 mile in seashore area! GMRS channels disappointed me by merely 2.5 miles on open highway and 2.0 mile in the woods. But my friends were quite impressed by the looks and features. I accdently drop one to the rock from 6 feet height and you know what?-- not even a den--I considered myself lucky. In short, it looks better than it `souds`...
They were returned to BestBuy for refund!
With license fee paid, I bought a pair of Midland G11C2. they are lightweighted/easyhandled, less fansy features but at least gave me 3 to 4 miles distance in a driving car and almost five miles at Jersey shores, though consuming battery fast. I think I will stay with them for a while before better models come out.

  • If you need to make a 911 emergency call, the GPS feature can also help emergency personnel locate you
Product Description of Motorola i275 Phone - White (Nextel)

With the i275, Nextel injects their line of powerful phones with a serious dose of fun. With a built-in VGA camera, multimedia messaging, downloadable games, a speakerphone, and support for Nextel`s legendary Direct Connect walkie-talkie service, this phone is all about lots of fun and plenty of functionality.

Design
The i275`s candybar form factor sports a large, 128 x 128 TFT color display with 65,000 colors. The speakerphone unit is located on the rear of the phone, as is the VGA (640 x 480) camera unit. Meanwhile, the trademark Direct Connect and menu scrolling functions can be controlled from the side of the phone. The phone`s control pad also features a five-way button that can control most of the phone`s functions. There`s also a 2.5-millimeter headset jack for connecting a hands-free headset.

Calling Features
The i275`s built-in address book can store up to 600 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert. More polyphonic ringtones can be added via download from the Nextel Online service. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names, while a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. And if you have an emergency, the i275`s GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911.

One of the key features of any Nextel phone is support for Nextel`s Direct Connect walkie-talkie technology. The i275 fully supports the service, which allows for one-touch conversations with anyone else on a Nextel phone, or with entire groups of Direct Connect users. It`s like a having a CB radio with enough range to cover all of North America, Canada and Latin America. With the i275`s powerful Direct Talk function you can also communicate in walkie-talkie mode when you`re not even connected to the network. The system works anywhere, anytime between compatible phones within a range of up to 6 miles (range will vary based on terrain and conditions). Direct Talk provides a reliable back-up communications tool in times of emergency, network outage, or when traveling to remote areas not under Nextel coverage such as hiking, cruise vacations or inside buildings. And last but not least, the i275 features a walkie-talkie private speaker button. This switches from the external speaker to the earpiece for private conversations or to minimize disruptions in quiet environments.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The i275 features MMS-based support for mobile-to-mobile or mobile-to-email text, images and audio messaging. When used with the phone`s built-in camera, MMS messaging opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the i275, as well. Nextel`s optional Nextel Online package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. Nextel Online also features games, ringtones, realtime news and sports updates, virtual address books, and more-- all delivered to your Nextel phone. Also, because the i275 is GPS-enabled, you can use Nextel`s location-based safety services like Mobile Locator, which allows you to locate a friend or family member`s phone location at anytime, right from your computer. And finally, the i275 ships with a calendar, as well as a time and date clock.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola i275 weighs 4.6 ounces and measures 4.8 x 1.93 x .98 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 165 minutes of digital talk time, and up to 101 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the IDEN 800 frequency. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

What`s in the Box

Reviews for Motorola i275 Phone - White (Nextel)

WARNING
My problems with nextel did not stop when I canceled my service. I will get to the problems with the service. When I went to get a new phone a day before my contract expired, I of course wanted to keep my number. So as I went to get my Cingular phone (highly recommended), I had the old number switched to my new number. Today, I get in the mail my nextel statement for the month with a $200 early termination even though I had not canceled my service, but had simply got a new phone and switched my number over. This was on icing on the cake after 2 years of absolutely amazingy bad service from nextel. In my town, not a small town by any means, there are very few places that have any service. In the largest subdivision, you cannot get service anywhere. I constantly get comments from people trying to reach me that get the classic nextel line...Please hold while the nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is located. Most of the time I would not even recieve incoming calls, calls would go straight to my voice mail. Not only would I not get the calls, but often I would not even get the voice mails until days or even weeks later. When I did actually take calls (and call out), I cannot count the number of times I`ve had my call dropped. I recieved so many different error messages sometimes I wonder if they just spend all their time at nextel thinking of different error messages to program into their phones. That brings me to the selling point of nextel, the famed and well-loved direct connect feature. This is an absolute joke. Direct connect only works MAYBE half the time I tried to use it. Even then, in the middle of the conversation I would be greeted by the loud beep of my phone telling me I wont be talking to that person anymore. Of course, I would expect nothing less from the nextel network. Text messaging with nextel is next to impossible. If it did not take hours to send or recieve a message, it took days, or maybe didn`t even come at all. The internet access was fine, it the rare instance that it worked. Of course, when you don`t have service, you don`t get the internet access either. I was constantly getting the message "network not available". Calling and trying to complain to nextel is futile. Trying to get through to customer service takes forever and once you get through they do nothing. My experience with nextel has been nothing short of a disaster and I write this trying to warn anyone considering nextel. Stick with Verizon or Cingular and you will be much happier in the end. Don`t make the same mistake I did.
