I switched to Nextel after AT&T did not seem interested in keeping up with the jones in the area of new technology. I had a 2.5 year old mitsu t250 which was the most advanced phone they offered. I ordered 2 i80 phones first, I found the 65+ ours of stand by was more like 20~24. So I was told the... More

I've had my i90c for about 6 months and it has been the most expensive and worst cell phone I've owned. It had some minor faults, like raised keys that defaced the LCD and tiny paint flicks that clouded the front window of the phone, but it recently has become very difficult to charge and I'm... More

Con:

This phone is designed for mobile professionals. The built-in PDA syncs well with the communication features. Solid construction. There are several features which take some time to set up and become familiar with. I bought this phone to have mobile access to email and the internet. It took... More

I've had a number of phones before Nextel's i90c and none of them would perform well in my master bedroom. Nextel's i90c is as good as my wired phone. All in all, although the phone is a little bulky, it performs everywhere excellently. I have gotten service in areas my other phones... More

Con:

I have Treo 300 for the last 10 weeks. The Quality of the signal is poor even in those areas where my other sprint phone was working. The phone shows

I dropped this thing from two story's on accident... and it still worked, now even two months later. Also, the features are awesome... Only drawback.. The specs said you could store a single persons name and it would only show up once, no matter how many phone numbers you entered. If there were... More

We live in a rural area that is not well served by cellular service. After unsuccessfully trying several phones, I bought the i90c. Finally I was able to get better than spotty connections in my area. There are still areas where I know I will lose the connection, but at least I am aware of these and... More

I've been a user of Verizon for over 6 years, but recently decided to give Nextel a try. I really thought that I wouldn't like it because Verizon supposedly had better coverage. Boy, was I wrong. This phone allows me to get my business done faster, and allows me to stay in contact with my... More

Best phone, best service. 2 way is great. Ive had a few other, and none can touch Nextel on customer service, or the actual service/coverage.

I'm an on-call database administrator at a dot-com here in San Diego, and it has to be said that Nextel's i90c is the most important work tool I have. Nextel's two-way messaging feature receives pages faster and more reliably than the Motorola 2-way pagers which have been a long-time... More

Those that are complaining about their phone service being lousy probably didn't do any checking to see how much Nextel had invested in their area as far as towers etc. I did my homework and for this area Nextel has very good coverage. So the obvious answer is: DO your homework, ask around, check... More

-----------EVERYBODY HAS IT-DONT GET IT-GET A NEWER PHONE-ITS A PEACE OF JUNK-OLA

And when somebody is always trying to call me a recording comes out saying Please wait while the Nextel susbcriber is being located! and then it goes to... More

Having endured the horrid service of AT&T Wireless for the past few months, with static, dropped calls, repeating sentences over and over, and really poor phone selection, I dumped them for Nextel and the i90c.

Although I've only had the phone for a short time, I have already amazed my dad... More

I used the I1000+ for several years and was afraid the I90 would be too small for a me. Wrong!. This is a rugged, yet nice piece of communication equipment. I say commo equipment, because the sales feature here is the Nextel "radio". If you have family members, clients or co-workers that utilize... More

I have had the Nextel i90c for about 6 months now, and I think it is a wonderful little phone with a lot of nice features. It's very sharp looking with blue illumination on the display!
Nextel is also the best provider I have found yet. There are never any hidden charges, and they have service... More

I must admit the i90c is quite an improvement in some areas, such as size, style, and added functionality, such as Java 2 Micro, voice memos & dialing, and a longer recent call list. However, they have a few minors adjustments to conquer before this phone can become a true workhorse. For example,... More
