Nextel i1000plus Cell Phone

Pros: Very sturdy phone
Cons: clunky compared to newer phones, can short circuit in heavy rain

Just a few words. I purchased this phone in June 2001. I've abused that phone seriously. I've droppe ...

Pros: Large, see-thru flip, Durability, Time-tested design, & Price
Cons: Harder to find than newer flip-phone models

Pound-for-pound, this is the best phone in the Nextel (Motorola) product line. While it does not bo ...

Pros: Built to last, great reception
Cons: Little talk/standby time; no good features

I got this phone after my horrible experiences with AT&T Wireless because all of my friends had it, and I found Nextel to have a very cheap plan that had generous anytime, off-peak, and Direct Connect time. I do like this phone because it is a flip...

Pros: Fair size, good looking
Cons: Flip comes off, dropped calls, bad reception

This is going to be a bad review but in a nut shell the i1000plus is the worst phone I have ever had to use. The calls get dropped all the time. The flip came off twice. And to top it all off it hurts your ear. This is the worst phone that motorola has...

Pros: Almost everything.
Cons: Cost of service, earpiece volume.

Just yesterday, my wife and I received our i1000 Plus phones. We got them for $30 apiece, with a one year contractural agreement. This is the fourth cell-phone that we have had, and I can honestly say that it is by far the absolute best. I have heard...

Pros: Using the Private Ready, I can ALWAYS get through to my husband.
Cons: Not always readibly accessible when on train going to office and returning home.

Let me first define my Review's title, I am a working mom of a 4-year old. My husband, too, works very weird hours and we can always "communicate" with each other using the Private Ready feature. A push of a button and we are talking. There are no...

Pros: Virtually Unbreakable, 2way paging, a lot of stuff
Cons: no fun ring tones, a little heavy

I've had my phone for about a year now, and I continue to love it. It gets good servoce in most areas, the battery lasts for a long time, the 2way radiofeature is amazing, and it has not broken despite the fact I've dropped it at least ten times. There...

Pros: Stylish, Enclosed keypad, mic close to voice, Lith. Battery
Cons: Some design flaws, misc semi-common problems

The i1000plus is one of the original "professional" phones marketed to Nextel users. It is a "flip" phone which is a little larger than a StarTac but still small enough that you do not look or feel like you have another appendage strapped to your belt....

Pros: Lots of options and extremely durable. Direct-connect is a huge money saver
Cons: Phantom messages. Uncomfortable over time

Great options: Speakerphone, 2-lines, caller ID, text messaging, direct-connect...There are others like email that i have never used. Sound is usually very good, but earpiece can become uncomfortable during longer calls. I've had great reception in...

Pros: Speakerphone, Flip Top, Sturdy Design
Cons: Battery life, Flimsy Antenna

I just purchased this phone and I am VERY pleased with it and the carrier.
I have been trying in vain to find a cellular carrier that serves Golden Gate Estates
(area 20 miles inland from the coast). and was just about gave up when a friend...

Pros: Small and surprisingly durable
Cons: better for business

Cool! One of the most feature-rich phone just got richer. Motorola has souped up the already-popular i1000, its highest-quality iDEN phone, and given us the i1000plus. The i1000plus is my favorite phone on the market. Its styling is a bit dated, but it...

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: Looks great! Lots of features!
Cons: Not very user-friendly

We switched from a standard one-piece phone to this flip phone. At first, I thought the ear piece (the part that flips up) might be fragile, but it fits to your ear comfortably. You can't really talk on this phone by resting it on your shoulder; you...

Pros: Can use it anywhere nation-wide with clarity
Cons: Costs extra for Caller ID

The Nextel i1000plus is perhaps the best phone I have ever used. It offers crystal clear clarity with the broadest network in the continental United States. Other competitors allow you to call anywhere nationwide while Nextel also offers you the option...

Pros: Well built, ease-of-operation, internet, battery life, 2way radio, speakerphone, can use w/flap closed, low radiation
Cons: some deadspots in suburbs, no way to turn off 'answer on flip open'

I got my Nextel because several co-workers had them and loved the two-way radio feature. I have not regretted it since.

The phone comes complete with a standard battery, belt clip, charger, manual and Instructional Video. Yes, they made a...
