Summary: Motorola Yellow i530 and Nextel 300 w/Free Incoming Package
Review: Gotta love the $200 rebate. Actually made $75 on the phone. That paid for my activation and first month's fees.

Phone is great. More durable than the newer i730. My wife loves the yellow color. She can find it quickly in her purse.

I called the 800 Nextel number to setup the phone once it arrived. The customer service lady was very friendly and helpful. It took only 15-20 minutes to get the phone active with a number.

I ported my home land line and was told it was going to be 4-6 weeks and they gave me a temporary number. Well everything was changed over in less than a week.

Summary: If you are hard on phones, get this one.
Review: I am a self-proclaimed klutz and have broken multiple phones in the past by dropping, sitting on or other ways. I have not had any problems with the i530 to this date. I have dropped it multiple times, once down a flight of stairs and it works every time I pick it up again. As long as the service is good in your area (...) you will not have any complaints with this phone. I have not charged it in 3 days of heavy usage and it finally is giving me low-battery warnings. If you have coworkers, friends etc with nextel and are thinking of this phone, I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: An Above Average Phone
Review: I did have the i730, but i got terrible signal strength with that. So i traded down to the i530. I love this phone. I've had great signal wherever i've gone. I live in Kentucky, so i go into city area's and rural area's but i have had no problem. i love the two way radio, saves $ on the phone bill. Also the cool GPS tracker. The phonebook holds 600 #'s, i will never fill it up. The only downfalls with this phone is the battery. I use my phone all day and i have to charge it every night, if i didnt then it would die on me the next day. also no belt clip comes with this phone. other than that i would recommend this phone to everyone, just but a car charger, it will save your life. my dad and grandfather went out and got the i530 too. Save your $, dont buy the i730, get the i530

Review: I've been using Nextel at work and all my friends have Nextel... so why not switch? This phone caught my attention because it's very rugged. Granted it's not the smallest phone out there, but its meaty design is great for a good strong grip on the phone. The i530 yellow adds a nice finish to the phone instead of having a plain ol'e black one. In my opinion some of the downfalls to this phone are, no color screen, the menu is sorrta' small and hard to read. Very small 'function' buttons (compared to the actual buttons w/the numbers). All and all very nice, though phone.

Review: Nextel coverage area is horrible - at least in Northern Virginia / D.C. area. I get "no service" error messages on my cell phone several times a day even though I'm in Fairfax County. My phone won't work inside the house most of the time and forget about using it inside stores or restaurants. I hear the same complaints from other Nextel users. I bought Nextel for the Push-to-Talk feature but that's garbage too. Go with Verizon - coverage is much better and service is cheaper.

Summary: Good Phone
Review: The i530 flip phone comes equipped with today's technological demands including speakerphone, One Touch Direct Connect, Downloadable ring tones, and enable GPS functions. It is available in both yellow and black. But had ordered it off of Nextels site. They even gave me a code that saved me $50.00. Here it is for you all to share (CL897L) case sensitive. On the shopping cart page. It is like an invoice thing. But I think it is a very good choice. You will enjoy the phone.
