| irwin1sj's Full Review: Nextel i1000plus Cell Phone |
I've had my nextel phone for over three months. My boyfriend has had his for eight. I love having a cel phone and this is the first one I bought. If you want a reliable phone with great coverage get the i100 plus. It does have some drawbacks though, so make sure you get what you want.
I've dropped my phone at least three times and it still works great. I find it to be very durable. Also I never lose service unless I am out of the area. Another great thing is the size and other features. You can clip it to your belt or pants. If you have big pants pockets, it will fit right inside. It is not heavy and you can get the leather case Like I have to protect you phone from scratches or wear. (I can't tell how long that will last though, some wear is already showing on the case)
a few drawbacks to keep in mind. Nextel is one of the most expensive phones as well as getting plans for it too. I spend almost 100 dollars per month for about 600 minutes of time. I do have free direct connect, if you know someone with a nextel and you can get on their plan.
Another drawback is the sound and antenna. I find that sometimes the sound isn't great and my friends and family can't always hear me. I find that in a car I have to yell over the background noise. Also the antenna does not seem to help at all with reception or range. I put it up, nothing happens, down it is the same thing. Also if you have little ones or find your self accident prone I can see how the antenna could become bent or broken easily. It is flimsy. Then again, I'm not convinced that the antenna does anything. It might not be a big deal.
I find that I can go almost anywhere in my state and get service. Lansing, Mount Pleasant, Detroit, Ann Arbor all over Michigan I can call friends for the same rate and all in my range.
Expensive but compared to what others say about their phones. I'm happy
