Pros: Lots of Features, easy to use, great way to keep in touch

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this phone for today's busy people. It's small enough to fit in a pocket and packs a lot of power into a little phone.

| gizzy's Full Review: Nextel i50sx |
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 thing I noticed about the phone was it was the only nextel phone available with a changeable face plate. I really didn't care for the 2 face plates included with the phone but I managed to talk my phone dealer into trading with me. I gave him the silver face plate included with the phone and I got a really cool purple one. The other one that comes with it is blue. It also comes with 2 choices for number colors, black or white.
The phone itself is a compact size and came with a leather case. My husband felt that it's size may not make the phone as durable as the other ones in it's price range but I didn't care this was the phone I wanted. I have now dropped my phone about 10 times and have not had a single problem with it, although I wouldn't recommend dropping it.
This phone has all the bells and whistles, from caller ID to call waiting. My favorite is the 2 way messaging, this is a cheap, conveinant way for my husband and I to keep in touch all the time. Our friends and other family members have now purchased Nextel's as well and we all hardly ever use the regular phone any more. This cuts down on the phone bill, as well as the amount of cellular minutes needed. The other features include: wireless web, text messaging, voice mail, calculator, games like reversi and checkers, an address book which you can use voice commands to dial with and more.
The phone came with a CD you can just pop into your computer and get directions for any feature you don't understand how to use. The information is presented in an easy to understand format and it's right there any time you need it. There are also manuals and Nextel's great customer service if your really stuck.
It has a lithum battery that you can't possibly over charge. The battery has a long life and my husband and I clocked over 1000 hours last month of 2 way talk and never had a problem with having enough battery to get through a day. The phone comes with it's own in home charger that you can plug in any house hold outlet.
To wrap this up I really love my phone and am very pleased with my choice. The games make great time killers while waiting for kids to get out of school or at appointments, and it's a great way to keep in touch.
