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...

Pros: Great service, Direct Connect, Very Innovative
Cons: Somewhat bulky, service can be expensive

I have had my i1000 plus since September of 2000 and I absolutely love it. Prior to have the Nextel, I had a Motorola StarTAC 7760. Compared to the StarTAC, the i1000 takes some getting use to. You will need to refer to the owner's guide when you first...

Pros: Speaker Phone, Radio, Virtually Unbreakable, and A Lot More...
Cons: Flimsy Antenna, and a Few Others...

Intro...
I am a loyal customer of Nextel and this phone (i1000 & i1000plus) for over 2 years. I have nothing but great things to say about Nextel's Service and the especially the phone!


Pros (Things that I actually use and...

Pros: good service
Cons: needs better battery

I use this phone for business and personal use and am generally happy with its performance. This phone works well in major cities where att's service is usually not so good. I am happy with the reception. This phone could be improved by nextel if the...

Pros: Two-way radio, seemingly unbreakable housing
Cons: battery life, sudden phone shutoff, sudden call drops

My company uses these phones/radios for techs in the field. I find the two-way radio feature to be the most useful for the type of work I do. When I need immediate assistance from a colleague, I can simply pick a name from the list and beep him. The...

Pros: Durable
Cons: a little awkward

I used this phone for two months in NY City in a public art project, I picked this model phone for one reason: The speaker part is LOUD...originally when I was looking for a good phone to use, because I would be interacting with the public, I had thought...

Pros: Everything! Price, Features, Size! The only phone you will ever want.
Cons: None so far

I received my new Nextel i1000 plus last week and have been thoroughly impressed! I have been a Nextel user for over 4 years and kept the i500 model since that time. When my battery finally died on me this month, I decided it was time to upgrade. I...

Pros: none
Cons: signals, clearity, and many others

In the world of fast communication in the global enviorment theese days, a goody reliable phone is needed. Well the Nextel 1000++ simply is not the phone of choice.

NOw a phone is only as good as the serice it is on but even so this phone...

Pros: Sturdy, speakerphone
Cons: Complicated, awkward, short battery life

This phone is actually my company-issued phone. If the choice were up to me I don't think I would buy one although it's not a bad phone.

I have to admit I was a bit leery because of the flip form factor, but the phone seems rather sturdy....

Pros: Two way radio service
Cons: A lot of dead air time

I bought this phone for the two-way radio feature. Unfortunately, my service has not been that great. Features on this phone are pretty good compared to some of the others on the market. The one thing I hate the most about this phone is the service area...

Pros: Offers a lot of today's latest technology at the tips of your fingers.
Cons: Because it provides so much, it's not for the casual cell phone user.

Pros: A ton of features
Cons: Easily damaged if dropped

You have to love the size and abundance of features of this phone. Nextel has proved themselves to be real innovators, and motorolla does a wonderful job providing them with great phones. One thing to keep in mind if you're considering purchasing this...

Pros: low radiation, low cost on phone
Cons: difficult to use, high rate plans

This phone is very deceiving. At first it looks small and practical and you think the speaker device at the bottom makes it a very efficient phone. The price is right but, everything else is wrong. First of all, there are no plans offered where I live...

Pros: great battery life; durable
Cons: lousy service in the Detroit area

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...

Pros: Lightweight, with superb speakerphone
Cons: Skyscrapers cause signal drop-outs.

When my first Nextel phone bit the dust, I determined that my satisfaction level with Nextel merited the purchase of an upgrade. Going to the Nextel store, I looked at the various models, and considered the one that works overseas, since I travel a bit....

Pros: Everything
Cons: NONE

I have been using the Nextel phone for well over a year, had the bigger one, the one that they first came out with it was good, but it was a little too big to be put in a purse.

I now have the 1000 model and it works just as well as the bigger...

Pros: range, small, durability, features, and attachments
Cons: price, plan charges, sound quality, antenna

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,...

Pros: Great battery life and super speakerphone
Cons: Airtime in not free.. :) Once you use this phone you will burn some airtime.

The Nextel i1000plus is a super phone/radio. The thing to remember with nextel is the unit is not only a phone, speakerphone, radio, numeric pager, alpha pager, email, internet. It is packed with features and truly helps your productivity while on the...

Pros: Hands free speaker phone
Cons: Haven't found any yet

I originally purchased this phone to communicate with members of my local agricultural community via two way radio. What I got instead was an excellent cost savings tool that can be used as a hands free cell phone while traveling. This is done by way...

Pros: lightweight, dependable, and very durable
Cons: needs more ringer tunes

I purchased this off the internet a few weeks ago, and already i've put it through trials. First off the battery life is very reliable. You don't have to worry about recharging the battery every chance you get. The audio quality is superb! Nextel has...
