Summary: Great Phone!!
Review: I have this phone and I love it. Its ultra durable, easy to read, very loud and clear. There are flukes with every phone, doesn't mean your antenna or your battery will go. I've had this phone for a year now and there's not a scratch on it. I've seen people with flip phones go for lcd ribbons, springs and have scratches all over their phones. I highly recommend this phone.

Summary: pretty good except for size
Review: I haven't had any problems with this phone since I bought it last October. It has good reception in my area (whereas other Nextel phones, including my family's have not). I am however upgrading my phone even though I have not had it for more than four months. My reasons: mainly the size. The phone is quite large and awkward. The i88s is also not capable of downloading ringtones (and I find the defaulted ringtones on the phone very distracting because they sound just like other phones. When my phone rings, at least one other person always looks for their phone to make sure it isn't theres.). Other than that, this is an excellent phone

Summary: Motorola Did it right!
Review: Over the years, I have been with many different carriers (Sprint, Verizon, US Cellular, AT&T, and Prime Co.) and NONE of them could compete with Nextel. The call quality is incredible, customer support is great, and I can't argue with per second billing. As far as this phone... It it amazing! Easy to use, many useful features with all the "clutter" and the call quality is very good. I would reccommend Nextel and this phone to anybody that wants a no nonsence phone that actually works!

Summary: Poor reception
Review: The i88s is not a bad phone, it's just not a good phone. Like an earlier reviewer said, the charging system stinks. I've replaced two chargers (car and home) just to keep this thing up and running. The reception is bad. It's not nextel it's the phone. I've held my phone with the antenna up next to my friends nextel phone with his antenna down. He had full reception I had one bar! I've broke two antennas because they are long on this phone and you must have them up to use it. Nextel charges you $40 each antenna. Look for another phone.

Summary: Pretty Good Phone
Review: The i88s is one of our lightest phones, but comes heavy with features. You'll enjoy One Touch Direct Connect, Voice Activated Dialing, and a customizable main menu. You can't go wrong with this versatile and affordable selection. But had ordered it off of Nextels site. They even gave me a code that saved me $50.00. Here it is for you all to share (CL897L) case sensitive. On the shopping cart page. It is like an invoice thing. But I think it is a very good choice. You will enjoy the phone.

Summary: ALWAYS BROKE!!!!
Review: The phone and phone functions are great but after having the phone for 3-4 months the phone will no longer charge. I could understand this happening once or twice BUT I've got the insurance on the phone and I've had it replaced for the same reason 7 times. Motorola and Nextel must come up with a more sturdy way to charge the phone...the charger system that they have on ALL the phones stink BUT the i88 is the worse. I've only had one problem with the i95 in a year....I guess that's not TOO bad????
