It is nice and small and fits easily in a pocket, small handbag, or motorcycle "trunk".

The unlimited free use of the 2-way radio is a great option. It is a bit difficult to learn the functions, but once you do, you will enjoy being able to program your friends/associates radio codes and talk to them for free. On top of that, you can push a "private" button so the person speaking to you can only be heard if you put the phone up to your ear. You still have to click the button to talk, but it will be private radio use.

I like the built in caller ID. It even works when someone "beeps" you on the radio.

The reception is pretty clear, and has a much better range than cell phones I have used in the past.

Nextel customer service is friendly and easy to deal with. They will replace your leather phone case for free should the belt clip eventually tear out.

I do not like the antennae. It breaks and comes loose. I also hate the fact that you can't hold the phone with your face/shoulder, because it is just a little too short and will slip away.

All in all, it is a good phone, but if you are driving all the time, it would not be good for you unless you have the handsfree earpiece setup.
