Summary: Best Nextel Phone
Review: I think its a good phone. I am happy I have it. Before I had the i95 and I thought it was too bulky and this phone has better java apps. The assigned ring-tone feature is good. The only thing thats confusing is the buttons. The buttons can get confusing because I was soo use to the i95 and the send and end buttons are reversed on the i730. I would reccommend this phone.

Also, get a Usb cord so you can download games, ringtones and wallpaper free from certain sites.

Summary: Hard to access features
Review: nice phone, but the 3way feature is definately a hassle. you have to keep going into the menu options for each step of the 3way call rather then just typing in the number, hitting send to call, and then send again to connect all parties.

when you go to a menu option, and you select one, then press back, it takes you all the way back to the wallpaper, rather than back to the main menu, or previous menu.

reception is pretty good in areas that i used to have terrible reception in. however, it tends to drop calls. dont know if its my side, or other caller's phone, but happens from time to time. battery life isnt so great. guess with the color screen and all, it drains the battery pretty quick.

also, with the phonebook, if you enter a telephone number into the phonebook without the area code, and that person calls, their name doesn't show up on your display, because technically it isn't the same number calling that is in your address book. its that number plus an area code on your caller id. with every other phone i've had, as long as its the same area code as yours, it doesnt matter what you have it saved as, and then name you have it saved under, will show up when that person calls.

the phone is pretty much for looks. my first nextel phone, and it was satasfied with the look, but the features that i mentioned, i wasnt satasfied with.

Summary: Still room for improvement
Review: I've had this phone for a little over a week, and while it performs good enough, there is room for improvement. First is the poor battery life that other reviewers have mentioned. Even when I haven't made any calls, it still drains about fifty percent daily. Secondly, it doesn't seem to be as well made and as sturdy as my old Samsung 850 phone. For the price, Motorola should have a product that is not so flimsy.

But that being said, I still like the phone. The display is bright and clear; and it performs better than my previous phone. So if you're considering buying one, make sure you buy a spare battery and extra battery charger. You'll need it. And if you need a phone that can take abuse, I would look at the i530 with the rubberized exterior. It's not as slick as the i730, but it looks like it is designed more rugged use.

Summary: zaphod beeblebrox phone
Review: If zaphod beeblebrox owned a phone. chitty chitty bang bang, this would be the one. the 40,000 mile/5 year warranty is the best in its class.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Bigger than what I thought it would be
Review: Folks this phone is nothing like the new range of samsung flip phones in the market. It is very chunky and looks lot like a old discountinued model. Only good thing about the phone is loud speaker phone. I bought it but after playing with it for a day I am returning the phone and I think I would settle for a samsung. The LCD screen is not as sharp and bright as the samsung as well. Make sure you see it physically before buying so that it saves your time shipping it back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone
Review: Missing status light was a huge drawback until now<...

This app lets you cusomize your external display and the colors of your disco light as the signal strength changes.

The color screen is very bright, but you might have a little trouble reading it in direct sunlight. The clip doesn't show it off too much - I prefer the bodyglove cellsuit swivel - that works really well. Most swivel clips jab me in the side when my shirt is not tucked in but the bodyglove cellsuit has smooth edges.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: bought from amazon about a month ago
Review: really like the phone and nextel's d/c. yesterday the speakerphone and ringer's stopped working. it cost me $35.00 at the service center to have a new phone cleaned. tech said there was some manufacturing corrosion. alternative was to mail it to motorola and be without a phone for who knows how long. if this is the only problem my rating will remain high for amazon, nextel and motorola.
