Summary: A great phone but too pricey
Review: I ordered the Special Edition of thsi phone, and while i have been using it this week for the first time, I am very pleased with its features and ease of use. The buttons are just recessed enough and take just the right amount of pressure without the overkill needed of other phones to get it to do what you want. Stylish, and taking up a small amount of room, it has completely fit the bill as a much better phone upgrade than what I used before. The included beltclip also keeps the phone from getting in the way, and altogheter, the phone weighs very little on your hip.The downfall with this phone is its price- other rate plans will offer a free or cheaper phone, and although this is the best of the 4 cells I have owned, I still can't shake the pricing of the unit itself. The car charger, not included, is another ... Why can't that be included? The wall charger does charge up the phone quickly, but can't be used everywhere you might need to charge. Of course, the phone has Internet capability, and some basic programs to help you figure tips, calculate different things, and more, but additional downloads from the Nextel site shoudl be encouraged to get away from having the same ring as a room full of people, and for more helpful things like the weather radar or stock market tracking features. Overall, a nice phone, but too expensive for 5 stars.

Summary: bad service from Naxtela nd Morola
Review: I have had nothing but problems since I pruchased my new phone. I had service with Nextel for 2 years prior to upgrading to a new i90c phone and never had a problem. I had problems from setting up the new phone and plans to now the phone does not work. The phone was fine for about 5 to 6 weeks and then I lost signal. I would have cell and then it would be gone in the amount of 1 to 2 minutes. We contacted Nextel and they said that there was a problem with the signal in the area and then I got a voice mail saying they could not guarn. service in all areas. I took the phone to a store that was listed that could fix the phone. They told me that the phone could not be fixed and it would need to be sent back for a refurbished phone. I told them that would not work for me since the phone was only a month and a half old. We then did the door to door service and the first time the phone came back in 1 day and still did not work. We called Motorola and they said that it was not the phone it was a problem with Nextel's service. I contact Nextel and they did try to help, but it was not the service, it was the phone. So we called back Motorola and set up another door to door service and got the phone back again in 1 day. This time I have a refurbished phone. I called Motorola and they said that there would be now way to get my phone back and that this phone is just as good as the one I had. I told them that I did not spend the amount of money that I did for a used phone. You would not pay pull price for a used car. Why pay full price for a used phone. The answer I got was that "all the cell phone companies do it that way". I would not recommend anyone getting a Motorola phone or a service plan with Nextel. This experience has total turned me away from ever wanting to deal with Motorola or Nextel again. Now I have a used phone that did not work for someone else and now I have to deal with this phone not working in the future possible.

Summary: Great phone and service!
Review: I did alot of research before going with Nextel, but the plan and the phone were the best on the market. They also only use their towers so there are never any roaming charges! The only warning I got was to watch my bill. That was good advice, because my first bill was almost $800 because they initially signed me up for the wrong plan! I got one of the friendliest and helpful customer service reps that not only made sure I was on the right plan but gave me 500 extra anywhere minutes for only $5 more a month! Not only did she back out the calls I had been charged for and put them under my plan, she gave me my phone for free for the inconvenience! What a deal! The phone itself has more than enough features, the reception and sound quality are fantastic! Needless to say I am now a loyal Nextel customer and nothing will change me unless they go under!

Summary: Nextel service is terrible
Review: We selected Nextel for our new company because of their "direct connect" and free incoming features. Unfortunately, the "direct connect" feature is awful. To use it, you have to actually hold down the talk button on the phone (like a walkie talkie) and can't talk until you hear two beeps; the first beep confirms that the other end has completed their sentence and released their button, and the second beep (when you hold down your button) indicates that it's now your turn to talk. Imagine trying to have a conversation with 2 beeps between every sentence! To make matters worse, if both parties hold down the talk button at the same time, you get a long loud beep; warning you that it's not your turn to talk. This may be fine for a contractor in the field using the speaker phone feature, but we are in an office environment so we can't use the speaker phone feature. Having all those beeps going off in your ear is very uncomfortable. Also, typical conversations take 2-3 times as long to complete and requires one hand on the phone at all times to push on the talk button (so much for hands free talking, typing or driving). After 1 month of trying this "direct connect" system, we just trashed it and went back to calling each other and using up our minutes. We should have gone with AT&T, Cingular & other "family talk" plans where you talk to each other using the regular phone service. The i90c is a great phone but for the short battery life. My old i60 from Tmobile needed charging every 4-5 days. I have to charge the i90c every day! ...

Summary: The Most Amazing Phone I've Ever Used
Review: I've had an ericsson and a few nokias in the past, so moving up to a motorola was a shock to see how nice the phone is. I've never used any other motorola, so i don't have anything to compare it to, but this phone is amazing. The battery life is the longest i've ever seen... even with talking on speakerphone, using direct connect, and surfing the web it lasts for a good three days usually. the blue glow is sexy, and it looks nice too. the quality is amazing, great antenna i guess. also the net features are really easy to use.

Summary: Terrible customer service
Review: I have to say that Nextel has the worst customer service of any company I've ever dealt with. The phone worked OK, and coverage was good for my area (SF Bay), but I won't get another Nextel product due to the response of their customer service department. I made about 6-8 calls to that department, and never once did they get my request for billing changes, service changes, or anything else right. They also refused to let me cancel my contract (according to terms stated on the contract) and denied having received faxed copies of the contract or having talked with me before about it. I'll certainly want to deal with another company in the future.

Summary: It bounced!
Review: I was initally reluctant to get such a "high-tech" phone since I am extremely hard on electronics. The included carrier belt clip is too small for a duty belt (Motorola shrunk their clips about five years back) and won't lock in on a belt over 1 1/2" without a lot of effort. As such, the phone got knocked off my belt and flew about 5 feet. I was sure I would be picking up pieces. Apart from a nick on the plastic antenna, the phone is fine. I still have faith in Motorola's quality. Features are all there (I dont use voice dialing) and the speakerphone is the best I have heard from such a small unit. Nextel will chew up battery life more than other brands due to the way it polls towers and keeps you logged into the network but the talk and standby time are great for the size of the unit. I'm not too wild about the way the charger clips in so I bought an aftermarket desktop charger and avoided the whole issue. A good product overall. I would like to have gone with 4.5 stars (the clip is sturdy but not suitable for my use) but 4.5 doesn't exist so I erred in Motorola's favor.

Summary: Low down dirty battery time
Review: Pro's
smallest of Nextel's Flip models
Direct Connect (will save cellular minutes if other party has Nextel)
Blue Light
Easy Menu Con's
Battery life is minimal last about 45-60mins tops. Bring a charger
Coverage in West Hollywood was bad and forget calling the boss if you are in the canyon. I had to use my friend's t-mobile phone to call in late.
high priced plans.

Summary: Great compact phone.
Review: I have had this phone for about 3 months now and really like the style. It is stubby and a little weighty on the hip, but works well, is rugged in design, clips securely to the case, and has worked very well. Some notes:
1) Battery Life - leaves much to be appreciated, about a days worth of light talk and standby use. Heading out again without charging will leave you stranded with a dead battery the next day. I upgraded to an aftermarket FatBoy battery that increases the weight, but allows about 3-4 days of average use. 2) Styles - easily change from customizable ring tones, vibrate, backlight duration, message alerts, etc. I have narrowed mine down to 3 options: car, belt, and quiet with appropriate settings for each environment and this seems to work well for most situations. 3) Navigation - I think could be a little easier but once you calibrate the phone to your liking, you rarely have to get to other settings anyway. 4) Voice Activated Dialing - flawless for me so far. Once you say who you want to call, it repeats the matched voiceprint so that you can cancel before it calls the wrong number. 5) Speakerphone - so far no one has said "Hey do you have me on speakerphone?", so I think the quality is good. You can make calls with the push of one button, with the phone closed, just by pushing 1 of 2 buttons on the top and speaking the name. This is great for the car. 6) Rebates - after meticulously getting all the requirements filled, getting all the rebates took no less than 5 emails and 3 calls to Nextel. Each time I got the "your rebate should appear on your next bill", but it never did. When I called back, "we are sorry, it is fixed now, will be on your next bill". 3 months later, finally..the rebate promised on the first bill finally shows up. Amazon.com's rebate service was a little easier to manage, but still more of a hassle than necessary. Im not sure, but I still may be missing one rebate. In all the hassle, I lost track of who sent me what. Overall, I think the phone is great. You may have to invest in a bigger battery or a portable charger (the cheap aftermarket ones on auction sites have worked perfectly). The phone is compact and durable and has good functionality.
