Summary: Nextel is awsome
Review: I love nextel. I know they dont have the best overall coverage area but in the area I am in (and throughout the state) I have found to have had 2-4 bars (service bars) 90% of the time. I have the i730 and love it. The main thing I do not like (that my last nextel phone had) was that it no longer (that I have found) has the loud ring and vibrate capability (as in ringing and vibrating at the same time) The only service draw back is that is that all the plans are between 20-50 percent higher then other wireless providers.

Summary: This phone is tops!
Review: If you're going to get the best service provider, you might as well get their best phone (the blackberry 7510 is in a category all by itself). This phone boasts some of my favorite necessities: 600 phone number storage capacity, GPS, and a color display, voice activation, and speaker phone. I also enjoy the name specific ring tones and color flashes it comes standard with.I read through some of the feedback on this phone and was wanting to clarify some of the ignorance that is being stated.
1) The battery life is typical that of the other Nextel phones. Not better and not worse. Charge it every night and you'll be fine (and I talk 4000 minutes a month). A Nextel phone uses more juice because the phones are setup to "actively seek out a signal." Other carrier's phones are programmed to sit in a dormant state until the signal "comes to them." I'm sure you can figure out these advantages on your own...
2) The games are decent at best that come with the phone. What's important is that you can buy or "obtain" hundreds of games because the phone is java enabled. A key thing to note is that Nextel's are buisness tools in nature. Hence, you can note the focus of buisness tools on the phone. If you're looking for some cheap play toy, you're looking at the wrong carrier. If you're looking for a status symbol, read on...
3)The "No Alarm Clock" feature that I've seen posted is not true. Think outside the box. The useful organizer/date book that is included in the phone is there for a reason. Set an appointment in it for when you want to wake up...
4)An account setup fee is typical. A first month proration fee is also typical among cell companies. Also, taxes are taxes--you pay the same high percentage no matter who you have.
5)Coverage, it depends where you are located. I'm guessing in the deserts of Arizona you'd have bad coverage. However, of the 20 or so states I've visited, Nextel has had SUPER coverage. Just recently I can vouch for about ever Vegas Casino ;D. Oh, did I mention there is never roaming charges with any plan?
6)If you have a tendancy to hit the Walkie Talkie button while it's on your side/in your purse, hit 'menu' then 'star' and lock lock the keypad. Don't worry, it unlocks auto when someone calls. Nuff said.
7)There is a Vibe/Ring Feature. Vibe 3 times then ring 3 times.
8)The Sprint/Verizon Walkie Talkie's suck. If you don't believe me try them. Nextel uses 2 systems in their towers (a duplex and a simplex-one for voice one for 2way). On a user end, a person 2waying from Florida to Hawaii will note instant connection. Verizon/Sprint only have 1 system in their towers. The way they 2way is using 'packets' from the cellular. What is unavoidable is the packets having to go through the landline telephone network. Put it this way, make a call and see how long it connects. Umm, average 5.7 seconds (according to the studies I've read). Now picture hitting a walkie talkie button and waiting 5.7 seconds for each response. Again, nuff said.
9)Telenav TRACK is incredible and DOES work. Ask to get a demo and use it like I did. It talks to you telling you where to turn and even recalcules directions on the fly if you miss an exit. A+++ Well, there was my 2 cents. If you're curious as to how I know all this stuff, I'm an electrical engineer and like to know everything about the toys I buy...

Summary: Did not come with holster. Long distance from home......
Review: No holster as stated in the bottom of the "phone data" link(...)Components:
Battery, Battery Door, Phone, Holster, Welcome Guide, User Documentation ) To activate the phone, Nextel first transfered me about 6 to 8 times. They could not provide a phone number that was local in my city (pop. of 40,000). I knew of 2 cell phone number prefixes that were local in my area with Nextel, but they said that no more numbers were available in them. After dealing with nextel on the phone (many, many phone calls) and trying over 6 phone numbers prefixes that all ended up being long distance, I went to the local Nextel dealer and they set it up right away with a phone number prefix that the 800 number people said was unavailable. Overall a major pain (...)to activate over the phone. It is nice that the phone will be free after rebate minus the cost for another holster ~ $15.

Summary: Mobile gps, weather, email, web, everything.
Review: I have been a Nextel customer for 2 years, just starting my third, with this phone. I bought the phone from Amazon and it works great. The My-Cast service is great, although a little bit more expensive, but provides GREAT weather including full motion color radar for people on the go. The GPS works great. Tele-nav has a free compass feature, and if you want maps and full spoken driving directions they offer that for a little bit more cash. To the person who said no text messaging? That is a service issue and not a phone issue. I guarantee this (and every other nextel phone I've used) is THE BEST for text messaging. It just depends on the type of online service you get. If you get the messaging package, it's $10 a month which gives you unlimited AIM, and unlimited text messages (to and from). I use the text messages mainly for forwarding important emails to my phone, in addition nextel also offers Mobile Email which allows you to connect to other mailboxes. As a third option there are java applets that let you browse any page, including SSL pages, and let you connect to any email server, IMAP, POP, etc... but those require a "total connect" (which allows java applets to use the internet) plan. If you like games, the best I've found for this phone are Tetris Deluxe and Pitfall (yes, the same one I played on my atari 2600, full sounds and all). In short this phone does everything you need and probably a whole bunch you don't. Direct Connect (Walkie), Phone, Mobile email, Mobile weather, Mobile GPS, Mobile browsing.

Summary: No Alarm Clock
Review: This phone is pretty nice to look at, and has a bunch of cool features...except one of the most useful to me - an alarm clock. This feature isn't available for this phone - even from iDen.

Summary: The i730 RULES!
Review: I have had 5 cell phones in the past 10 years, starting with the original MOTOROLA FLIP-PHONE. Then I moved over to a NOKIA phone, which was okay, but I was not satisfied. I moved over to the NEXTEL phone service for my next phone, which was the MOTOROLA i1000 and a couple of years later I bought the i90, which was the phone I have been using until I recently upgraded to the i730. I have been with NEXTEL for the last 5 years and I am completely satisfied with their professionalism and outstanding service. The trade-in/buy-back program is wonderful and it definitely the best way to upgrade your phone. NOW........on to the i730.......WOW..........what an awesome phone!!!!!!!!! I can't begin to tell you that NEXTEL offers the best MOTOROLA phones then any other carrier. I have looked at other phones from other carriers and none compare to the i730. If this is your 1st MOTOROLA phone purchase, you are in for a real treat. The instructions are well-documented and it doesn't take rocket-science to navigate through the i730 software. The biggest treat for me is the COLOR screen, the sleek-ness of the phone and it's overall aesthetic beauty. So if want to be the envy of all your friends, please do yourself a favor and pick up this phone. Also, once you experience the NEXTEL service, it will definitely be your last and only phone carrier. PROOF: I have successfully moved over many friends and family members to NEXTEL and I haven't heard any compliants. ENJOY!

Summary: nice phone but could use some improvement
Review: Well this is my first time having a nextel.here's what i thought about the whole process:
1. Amazon- i got a good deal on amazon. it was $170 with $150 back in mail in rebate. so it ends up costing me about 20 dollars instead of the 300 dollar retail price! they are also a really good company and quick to send the phone(i got the free shipping and it came 6 days instead of 8-10 days). no cmplaints. 2. the i730-
positives) nice phone. disco thing is cool. eally loud speaker phone, i can keep the phone on my belt clip and talk regularly and people can hear me fine! huge phone book. ok battery life it lasts about 3 days with adverage (30min-1hr.) talk time. there is ring tones that actually sing the song, so it isn't just the music it is the person singing the song, like a sound clip of the song.
negatives) no real games. there are a few trial games but they cost 5-6 dollars for the full versions of the games. no text messaging!!! the bad thing is you can get text messages but you can't find out who sent it, and you can't respond (unless you pay an extra 10 dollars a month) so basically text messaging is useless!! the numbers that you dial show up too small with no spaces. for example most phones make the number you dial look like this:555-555-5555. but this phone just puts them like this:55555555555. which is really confusing! also there is no way to have vibrate and ring at the same time. you can set it to vibrate for 2 rings then ring for 2 rings. to download ringtones you need a connector cable to the computer with costs 30 dollars and according to a local nextel store they have been sold out for over 2 months. :( 3. nextel company- there coverage is ok! nothing more nothing less. in buildings it is really hard to get a signal. especially new building because they have all this electrical interference. also nextel bills you for the month in advance which is fine but it was suprizing to open my bill and find out it was 113 dollars. 35 for the activation and 70 for the service 1 moth prorated bill and 1 month of full service. the 8 dollars or so in taxes. the direct connect thing is really cool. the other companies are starting to come out with it but it isn't as advanced as nextel's. thier customer service is quick and efficient. my plan is good too it is: 500 day minutes, free nights and weekends, and unlimited direct connect. overall this is a nice phone but could use some improvement. and so could nextel. i am satisfied with the phone for now but when my contract expires who knows...

Summary: excellent nextel phone
Review: If you are in the market for a nextel, this is the one to get - it has just about everything. The call quality is excellent both with cellular and direct connect, the screen is incredibly clear and rich with color. Motorlola also incorporated an accessory cover to protect the charging/data port from damage. I would recommend a usb cable for downloading any java apps, wallpapers, and ringtones via web or other sources. GPS works very well, speakerphone and voice-activating dialing features are excellent, and the phone is not as bulky as other nextel models.
