Great phone. Glad I bought it.

by jjweinb , Jan 01 '03
Pros: Great design, good size, speakerphone feature works great
Cons: Screen could be brighter, holster clip could be easier to use, battery life
When my wife and I decided on Nextel service, I came to Epinions.com to check out the facts about the phones being offered. After looking over the reviews and prices, I initially decided on the Motorola i60c for both of us. At the store however, I...

I've never regretted trading in my i1000 for this

by shaeryn , Aug 07 '02
Pros: Small, durable, user-friendly, sleek, customizable
Cons: horrid battery life, can't download ringtones, don't leave the interstate
I ordered the Nextel service in January after a few years with AT&T. Nextel is not the least expensive cellular company, but they do offer a lot for the price like free roaming, long distance, direct connect and the web, all of which would come in handy...

Pros: Size, battery, features, FEATURES, tons of capabilities

The i90c is Nextel's second "professional" looking flip phone to come out. It's predeccesor (the i1000) had it's good points and bad points ... see my review on it if you'd like. The i90c is more feature loaded than the i1000.

by mitti , Aug 30 '02
Pros: Smaller than any other nextel, Gets same signal for its size.
Cons: More fragile then any other Nextel, not as small as conventional cell phones.
I've had 6 different cell phones within the last 5 years so I've experienced many different phones and styles with 4 different phone companies so I may be more critical than other phone users may be. I've come to this phone from a Motorola Digital...

Cons: Compared to some phones now, it may be big and it doesn't have color screen
I am sad I no longer have this phone. (Long story) Here is another somewhat long story.... I had Nextel who offered minimal options for "girly" phones. By this, I mean ones that will fit in my purse. When this came out, I bit my lip and paid ...

Pros: Great look, easy use, easy 2way acess, large lcd.
Cons: kinda heavy, reception not always best

by mas90guru , Oct 09 '02
Pros: Sturdy, dependable, decent battery life
Cons: Should be a way to turn vibrate on without opening flip
I've had the i90 for about 9 months. Overall my experience with Nextel has been hugely positive. The carrier has/had a reputation for spotty coverage and lousy customer service -- so it was with extreme hesitation that I bought into the Nextel service....

Pros: Good size, great looks, lots of features, java apps
Cons: Unusable holster, short battery life and always buzzing around speakers
This phone is great, it has a lot of features and with the downloadable Java applications you can do a lot of things with this phones (too bad it is unable to send SMS message, it only receives them) the battery life is too short comparing to Nokias but...

by chrisman1 , Nov 22 '02
Pros: The phone is small and sleek with big performance.
Cons: The battery life like any phone isn't that great.
I don't even know where to start with this phone. I recently got rid of my At&t plan and switch to Nextel which was a really good choice. With At&t I was always going over my minutes which led me to pay a lot of money each month. Since I have...

A Milestone for Motorola and Nextel

by revil86 , Dec 24 '02
Pros: Great looks, great speakerphone, great Direct Connect, and much more
Cons: Wish it was a little smaller
Today, I let go of my 5 month old LG 5250. Don't get the wrong idea, the phone is off the hook, but it's no Nextel. So many people i knew were getting Nextels, so instead of wasting cellular minutes, I'd use Direct Connect. And what better phone to use...

Works Great For Me

by dareynolds , Dec 22 '02
Pros: Speakerphone,lots of features for a small phone
Cons: a bit biger than most flip phones
I like Nextel's service a lot and although this phone is a bit thicker than most flip's it's worth it for all the features you get. The speakerphone is a god send, it's better than my office speaker phone. The wireless web works good for me, I use it to...

Pros: compact, lightweight, features
Cons: size of display, no custom ring tones per caller, limited use in remote areas
The PROS:

The phone is light weight, and one of the smallest of the Nextel phones.
If you use the 2way feature it is a great all-in-one phone.
Customizable web links and addresses book, using Nextel online web site.

The only negative thing I have to say about this phone is the battery life. You have to charge it every other day, even with light usage, so I highly recommend buying a travel charger. This is a very popular phone for Nextel users, so watch for special...

Battery Life Suck
by katzen69 ,Dec 31 '03
Pros: Two-way feature, slick look, durable.
Cons: Battery life sucks, expensive, not many custom features.
Good phone if you require the Nextel two - way feature. Direct connect is great. Good look and feel. Durable. I have dropped it a bunch of times. It is expensive and the battery life is really bad. 1.5 days standby. If you talk at all you are going to be hard pressed to have the battery last the whole day. Really, really bad. If you don't need the Nextel two-way, get a different plan and a different phone.

Great phone...now have i730
by brahh ,Dec 19 '03
Pros: I'd probably have to sum it up to QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY!
Cons: Nothing!
Had an i90c for less than a year and husband bought me the i730 and I passed the i90c down to him (and he loves it). The i90c is a great phone. Since there was no posting on the new i730, I'll give my opinion regarding it. It's WONDERFUL! The speaker system is the all time best! The colors are vibrant and consistent. I have people actually see my phone and stop to look at it! And if they're with Nextel...their mouths water! We love Nextel and think our i90c and i730 are the best!

Great Up-grade from i60 or a non-flip pone
by poppitrulo69 ,Jan 24 '04
Pros: Small, Good Beltclip, Good Service, WALKIE-TALKIE, BLue lights and Hott Customablity
Cons: When the flip is slammed closed it makes a oval mark on the screen, battery
This is a great phone, Out of all of the Nextel flip phones this is probably the best because there is nothing that is too much on it like a camera. I had the i60 before this and the i90 is much better. The blue lights seem brighter, and they look better plus the LCD screen is a little bigger, and there is a small LCD screen on the back side of the flip. this is a great up grade from most any other Nextel. Too bad they dont make them anymore, Im trading mine in for a i95 which is color
But the i90 is still an awesome phone.

This is a HOT phone, with numerous capabilities
by rocks213 ,Sep 26 '03
Pros: Durable, classy, good phone
Cons: a little high in cost, but then again, all are
This phone has all the cool features like internet, calender, etc. Along with the features of standard phones like different rings, phonebook, and all the other features that we have grown to expect over the last few years. I have the clear casing around mine, yes you can change the casing, and the phone looks really cool, especially at night time.

Nextel i90c
by nextel ,Jul 12 '04
Pros: Nice Size, Tons of Cool advace features.
Cons: kind of small size screen, battery life isnt the greatest
The Nextel i90 is one of the best phones ever created. It is loaded with features, very similar to the i95cl. It is pretty small, and has a decent size screen. The battery life is not the greatest, but that is becuase it has so many features. The i90 is certainly not the smallest flip phone on the market, but is pretty close compared to other nextel flips. Many people complain about Nextel phone size but that is because it has the two-way recivers inside.

Overall, the i90 is a great phone, and even tho is is discontiued, you can still find them at stores.

The work horse flip
by the_tester ,Dec 22 '03
Pros: Strong, durable , looks good, can't wear it out...
Cons: screen a bit dark, voice dial not accurate, bat life..
I have owned my I90 for 2 years now and It just won't wear out.. I have dropped it many times onto the hard floor and even off ladders ... I like just about everything this phone has to offer, however, there are a few things I don't like, the screen can be dark at times and the voice dial feature is not as usable as the lg510 i had with verizon. also the battery life wouldn't quite make it a full 9 hour day, although i did use the phone alot..besides that I would strongly recommend this model to anyone looking for style and durability...

NEXTEL RULES
by tigressfox ,May 31 '04
Pros: I love everything about it except I wish I could download real songs not midis.
Cons: no cons at all really
I have the Bloomingdale's version & it is great. It's not heavy, it's not big & it's cool looking. I'm going to also try to pick up the i95 baby phat phone if I can as soon as possible.

Nextel Phone Good. Service Horrible
by clearsight ,Sep 15 '04
Pros: Phone
Cons: Dealing with Nextel. Poor service
The I-90 phone is very nice. Easy to use features. Very rugged. Many accesories available. However, the Nextel service itself is the worst cellular service I have ever used. Constantly losing calls. The 2-way radio feature works when it wants to. Would highly not recommend Nextel overall.

Great Service, Questionable phone
by wyvrenbuys ,Jul 06 '04
Pros: Great Service, durable phone
Cons: Battery life, electronic interference
I had my i90 for over 1 year before I dropped it in a puddle of water and noticed it 15 minutes later. Before that I had dropped the phone may times (on accident) and it worked perfectly. I was able to call from almost anywhere, except near electronics. I would be talking on my cell in my apartment but the second I turn on my TV, computer or speakers my reception went down the drain and I would get massive interference. In fact I would keep my phone on vibrate in my apartment because when someone did call my TV, speakers, and monitor would start making loud clicking sounds, louder then the actual ring of the phone. My friend had the same problem with the head unit in his car and his i90. Nextel has great service, which I'm planning on going with again, but with a different phone.
