Pros: Direct-Connect walkie-talkie functionality, built in speakerphone
Cons: Confusing menus, a bit on the bigger side, but still pocket friendly

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. A mobile phone is ONLY as good as the network it's on.

That being said, the i1000plus is a very good phone, believe it or not... I purchased mine through a local retailer for $99 (I purchased 2, one...

Pros: two way radio!
Cons: static in speakers in car and also bothers the computer monitor.

My husband is a truck driver so we always had huge long distance bills or had to buy the pre paid phone cards. Which can also get expensive but are also a pain in the butt for a truck driver who doesn't always have time to stop and use the pay phone. So,...

Pros: Web Enabled
Cons: Poor battery life, poor reception, poor provider

This phone was provided to me by my employer. It replaced the Nextel i610, which was a sturdy but bulky phone.

The phone was supposed to arrive pre-programmed, but that was not the case. I ended spending a total of six hours, yes six, on the...

Pros: Internet surfing ability and people think you are Captain Kirk
Cons: The phone is non-intuitive

The i1000 Plus is the first phone where I actually had to read the manual, PAGE by PAGE(and I consider myself pretty savvy). The video that comes with the phone is worthless. You really have to practice using this phone with the manual at hand, I...

Pros: Great sound quality, awesome features
Cons: flip-cover seems a bit flimsy

Right out of the box, I knew this was going to be a great phone. The call clarity is simply amazing. I have had no problem hearing an thing on this phone. Only a few times that I can remember that a call became 'fuzzy' (and all of those times I was...

Pros: Walkie Talkie function is very handy
Cons: Battery life, menu navigation

This is one of the few phones that I actually have been very disappointed with... Here is a basic comparison of the i1000 to the StarTAC series of phones which Motorola also puts out. If there is anybody that would like a simple comparison between any...

Pros: The speaker phone is amazing in reach and clarity, excellent web browsing.
Cons: The battery life is very short. Ring selection is very limited!

I've owned my Nextel for about 3 months. In comparison to phones my friends and co-workers have this blows them away. I love the 2-way radio,you can put anyone with any Nextel on your network and talk to them for free anytime! The clarity on the 2-way is...

Pros: Excellent features, two way radio, small and light weight.
Cons: battery life is short.

Have you ever found yourself working on a tough problem and you really need to call someone who you know has the answer, but the nearest phone is 20 ft away or worse yet the two-way radio is out in your truck. I found myself in this situation way to many...

Pros: Size, look, durability and direct connect.
Cons: Battery, service availability.

Motorola i1000 plus is about the sexiest phone I have ever used or seen. It is becoming a sort of status symbol to have a Nextel phone now! It is said that only the elite and ultra-fabulous and stylish have the i1000 plus and everyone else has the...

Pros: semi-small size, great sound quality, 4 different usage options
Cons: flimsy flip top, uncomfortable against the ear, elaborate programming methods are confusing

I got the opportunity to use the Motorola i1000plus (also known as the Nextel i1000plus through a small business setting. Preparing myself to possibly sell and promote these contraptions, I threw myself into getting to know everything about...

Pros: Small, 2way radio is great, easy to read
Cons: Digital only, bad battery.

This phone has all the bells and whistles. Voice mail, pager built in, many ringers, signal strength, battery strength, etc. That’s what you get for $200. It has a good clear sound, but it is digital only which can be bad in certain areas. You have...

Pros: direct connect, see through cover, large display screen
Cons: see through cover is easily scratched

If you have a group of friends/co-workers with nextel service this phone is excellent. No more worrying about going over your minute allowance. Simply use the direct connect feature. With available web service information is at your fingertips...

Pros: Two-way radio feature, rugedness, vibration alert
Cons: dismal battery life, awkward keypad, user interface

When I first got this phone at work, I said "Eww." I had a Nokia 6190 as my personal phone at that time, and I loved it. The i1000 plus was hands down ugly. I will not cover the internet features of this phone since my company does not subscribe to it....

Pros: Web enabled, small size, light weight, large display screen, send and receive email, faxes.
Cons: Humm, none come to mind.

There I sat in a boring business luncheon, in a so-so restaurant waiting for lunch to be delivered. As I waited I was half listening to the colleague on my right go on and on about his current paramour, while half listening to the other conversations...

Pros: Phone+Pager+Radio all in one, Cool looks
Cons: Interface, Noisy while in high interference areas, Only 9 melody rings to choose from

I've got an i1000 Plus and use it primarily for work purposes. I've have a CDMA StarTAC 7760 ever since. I use the radio dispatch to keep in contact with co-workers immediately, as I work for a customer support center at Motorola. I had my doubts about...
