Pros: Small, Flip design, Net capable, Voicemail, 2 way radio, Caller ID
Cons: Battery life, no roaming

My wife and I purchased matching Nextel's 6 months ago after using them at my job for the past 4 or 5 years. One of the reasons we went with them is the 2 way radio(Direct Connect). Since then we have saved lots of minutes and money using the 2 way radio...

Pros: Two way radio, Many features
Cons: Poor battery life, kind of balky

Looks cool, sounds good, HELL to operate

If it didn’t hurt so much, I would rather pull my hair out than use this phone. About a month ago, the company I work for decided to get everyone in my department the Nextel i1000. My first impressions...

Pros: Compact, see-thru cover, speakerphone
Cons: Not a consumer phone - confusing to program - best for a power user.

For years I snickered at anybody who used Nextel. They'd long been dismissed as a wireless company that only caters to larger businesses. Recently I found the Nextel i1000plus for $19 at Buy_dot_com and couldn't resist giving both the phone and the...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

I got a nextel 1000 last summer. I think it is the best cell that I have ever had and I have had four of them. I enjoy the instant message beeper button. It is very useful.

Especially because all of my friends have them. So no matter...

Pros: Small with many, many features
Cons: Nothing out of the ordinary

I received this phone as part of my job and have had it for quite some time now. The size of this phone is one of the first things you'll notice and really enjoy. It can fit into a shirt pocket or attach to your belt or pocket using one of the many fancy...

Pros: speaker-phone, well-designed
Cons: No internet features yet

I had no intention of buying a cell phone anytime soon but when Nextel offered free incoming calls for all of 2000 I finally nit the bullet and bought the i1000 plus ($199) with the Small Business 600 plan. Having tooled around with the phone for...

Pros: talk without holding phone
Cons: a little bigger than StarTac

I've used every cell phone out there, made calls on the best of them, and this phone is where I finally wound up after testing the so called cellular waters for the past few years. It does everything I need, and the extra special tantalizing features...

Pros: long battery life
Cons: Weird Sounds, Dropped Calls

The i1000 phone has not proved to be very reliable and it certainly isn’t durable. I have had to have it replaced three times. OK, OK. Once was my fault. I ran over it with the car but the other times it had fallen out of its cumbersome holder or it just...

Pros: Unlimited Two Way Calls
Cons: Expensive Cell time and sometimes no signal

Nextel phones have been the biggest craze this past year, among working men and teenagers. Every teenager in my city owns one. There are definately positive and negitive aspects of the nextel. First off, for basic two-way radio, NO cell phone feature, it...

Pros: direct-connect feature, address book.
Cons: battery-life, weight/size

When my company switched us to a fleet of i1000s, I was sad to see my Nokia 6160 go. The 6160 was a great phone, with a well-thought out operating system with advanced features and great battery life. The i1000 has pretty mediocre battery life -- you...

Pros: cost effective especially if you use 2-way, nationwide service
Cons: Poor customer service, lots of dropped calls and dead spots

The Nextel stockholder in my begs that I keep my mouth shut but I have to tell the truth. think carefully about putting you entire business in the hands of Nextel. As an owner of a security company I have experienced both the best and the worst of...

Pros: Less need to use telephone air time
Cons: Gets some stray work groups from time to time.

The walkie talkie feature of this phone is remarkable. Between my 3 daughters and I, we do a lot of close range communication. Our regular phone communication was costing way too much. With this phone we hardly ever use the telephone service. I have no...

Pros: Nice looking, good battery life
Cons: features and clarity are lacking

Ok, it looks really cool but the Nextel motorolla i1000 is more hype than substance. Of course this is just my epinion but it really doesn't impress me. I have had the phone for over 6 months and it hasn't been any better than any other cell phone I...

Pros: Speakerphone, VibraCall, DirectConnect
Cons: Only 100 Slots for Name/Nbr

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...
