| buzz48315's Full Review: i1000plus Cell Phone |
I bought this phone as a group of phones for my business. I am in a business where I need to stay in touch with my employees and also need the convienence of a cellular telephone...I thought that this phone would be Utopia for me. Now 6 months later I am completely disappointed with these phones. Now I may be attacking the phone unjustly because it may just be the service provider in the Detroit area that has problems. I frequently drop calls, get little or no service inside of buildings, and from time to time can not use the direct connect feature because of lack of service in the area that I am at. The people at Nextel are telling me that they know that there is a problem in the area that I am in and that they are trying to remedy the problem but they have been telling me this for the six months that I have had the phones.
In general the phone is a GREAT idea with tons of useful features of which I like the clear 'window' on the phone the best because you have the protection of a flip and can still see the caller ID before you pick it up. Battery life is excellent I often go more than three days between charges. The phone is a brute as far as ruggedness goes I have dropped it several times and still works (and looks) the same.
In general talk to others in the area that have these phones before you go out and spend the 100 dollars to see if they are satisfied with the service provided locally. If you get good response then go and buy it if they are a little leary then look elsewhere.
