Pros: Solid, sturdy. Non-color screen is visible in bright daylight, color screens aren't!
Cons: No speakerphone for calls or voicemail. Speaker for Direct Connect not as good as others.

I was happy with this phone for the 4 years I used it. You don't need bells and whistles and color screens, a phone is for TALKING, not watching and playing and ooh-ing and ahh-ing. This phone is great for what it's designed for...talking. The ...

Pros: Durable, changeable faceplates
Cons: bulky

This phone was a pretty good phone. The reception wasnt the greatest. It did offer a few games, which could have been better choices, along with a calculator. The faceplate is changeable but the faceplates are hard to come by. The antenna was able to...

Pros: "Cute," esp. for a Nextel, custom faceplates, headset jack, it's a Nextel!
Cons: No speakerphone

I got this phone soon after my brother got a Nextel phone. It's loaded with features... wireless Internet, vibrating alert, datebook, games, huge-capacity phonebook, voice dial, and more. One especially convenient feature is the ability to set "Vibrate...

Pros: Sturdy, Effective, Reasonable Display
Cons: Plastic Keys, A bit on the bulky side

Yes - Until I lost mine - I loved my i50sx.....

To be honest I didn't buy this phone, I was lucky enough to get it for free... I cannot give advice on HOW you might get one of these for free, except to say that some employers are very nice and...

Pros: Feature-packed for the money, web enabled, handy size, good sound quality
Cons: none

My husband and I recently switched from Worldcom (not a moment too soon!) and signed up with Nextel. We were shopping for 2 phones to use with their Direct Connect feature that wouldn't be too expensive. We settled on the i50sx after reading other...

Pros: Best value for money in the Nextel line.
Cons: Hard to find decent carry cases.

This phone came out two weeks after the i85s, and was intended to appeal to the younger consumer group, which Nokia has essentially cornered with the 5100, 6100, 8200, and now the 3300 series. This phone offers interchangeable faceplates, two choices of...

Pros: Lots of Features, easy to use, great way to keep in touch
Cons: Takes too much time to turn off

I have had my Nextel I50sx for about 2 months now. I chose this phone based on it's features and price. There were not too many phones offered at this lower price category, and none of those offered as many available features.

The first...

Pros: stylish, good features, price
Cons: buttons may be slippery

Motorola i50sx is along the line of the iDEN phones. Motorola is trying to appeal to a larger consumer market, so it has lowered the price of it's newest phone. This phone has an interchangeable faceplate, and it makes the model more stylish. ...

Pros: Fairly small, easy to use, color faceplates, belt clip, upgrade features, wireless web
Cons: takes a little time to turn on/off

I admit that I was skeptical when my parents were telling me that they were looking into Nextel/Motorola cellular phones. I already owned one of the Motorola Startac phones, which I loved because I could easily clip it to my belt, it was ultra-portable,...

Pros: Not to expensive, has worked pretty much flawlessly
Cons: Up button doesnt work sometimes,had the phone 2 years so what do i expect

I have had this phone for two years now and it is still ticking away. It has been a great phone, I have never had any problems with it. I had the i1000 before this phone and that was a good phone too. Nextel phones are some of the best on the market.
I like my i50sx, its been good to me. Even though i really prefer flip phones.
