The Nextel i1000 plus, is both an excellent phone, and two-way radio. It is truly the best of both worlds. The company that I work for, changed from regular cellular service to Nextel, and it reduced the company-wide phone bill by a very large amount.
The Nextel is also very useful in our line of work, because it allows communication between our truck drivers, and our customers. It allows the pinpoint and accurate placement of deliveries, so therefore it also keeps our customers happy.
The only real downside to Nextel, is that if you cross state lines, you still have phone service, but you don't have radio service. I would like to see Nextel go to both nationwide phone, and radio coverage. This would be very useful.
The i1000 plus is very useful also, because it also allows you to access the internet, while traveling. It is also a good value, because the i1000 plus is cheaper than comparable cellular phones, with the same features.
