Summary: This phone stinks compared to the i860
Review: all i can say is if you get this phone you must realize that a smaller phone means smaller battery. the battery life is horible on this phone. it never made it past 1 whole day. the other things that i did not like about this phone is that it has a tiny screen & the metal cover gets scratched very easily. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PHONE, GO GET THE i860 BECAUSE THAT PHONE ROCKS!!!

Summary: Nextel's shining bronze star!
Review: Finally, Nextel brings long-time users like myself a choice other than carrying around a brick. I've had Nextel service through my employer and also personally for years. I've gone through a gammit of phones - i1000, i88, i90, i95c, i730. I'm sure some have been left out. I almost consider myself an expert on their phones. The i830 is a vast improvement over all predecessors. It is incredibly thin. I can carry this in the front pocket of my jeans and one barely notices. The bronze is simply gorgeous!
The LCD displays incredibly vivid and bright colors. I really liked the i95c and prayed for a smaller, thinner and lighter version. I cannot use this phone in public without being approached by admirers and fellow Nextel users. Everyone gawks over it's size and beauty. The bronze is more visually stunning than silver. However, I don't think the i830 is a phone for heavy business users due to battery capacity. I still use the i95c for heavy M-F business traffic. My i830 is perfect for afterhours and weekends. I do carry an extra battery and have a car charger to ensure I won't be stuck when battery goes dead. You will most likely need to charge phone each night. It has 60 hrs of standby and 1 hr talk on full charge. Overall, I'm very very pleased with this product. *Note: I have an extra i95c in very good condition with slight scratches and is fully operational for sale. SIM card is included and no contract. This was my personal phone. Flat $120.00 includes shipping in USA. I will accept paypal only. Please email me if interested at [e-mail].

Summary: The phone is good, but the service is not.
Review: I just purchased this phone throught amazon.com. It is a very sleek and stylish phone compare to other nextel phones, not to mention how light it is. However, I strongly recommend to purchase this phone from nextel dealer. To self-activate this phone, I had to go throught a great deal of trouble. Nextel's customer service is so bad, you wouldn't believe their customer handling skills. It took me almost 1 hr and half to activate the phone. (the number Amazon gave me for activation was not even right number, I had to find the right number out on my own) After all these, they gave me a number that was already used by some law offices, so I had to get a new number. The worst thing is that Nextel doesn't really want to deal with Amazon.com. Everytime I told them I bought my phone from Amazon, they just didn't know what to do with me. I think it would be a whole lot better if I bought the phone from other authorized dealer. At least the dealer would've dealt with customer service, not me. So please consider buy from authorized nextel dealer(the actual store and person). The better option is, if you have a choice, don't go with Nextel.

Summary: Best East Coast USA - Baja Mex long distance mobile solution
Review: Received the phone last weekend. Very satisfied with i830's performance and with Nextel's costumer service. Phone is unobtrusive and light, yet solid and functional. Coverage around the Hartford, CT area is excellent: no drop calls yet. Direct Connect feature is outstanding: can talk indefinitely with friends and family in Northern Baja California, Mexico (no more costly long distance bills). Overall, a complete solution to mobile communication in a striking, exceedingly elegant package.

Summary: Good Phone
Review: The I830 is perfect for people who need to carry their phone in their pocket, purse, or belt with increased comfort. The I830
weighs only 3.6 ounces and comes in your choice of Silver
or Bronze color. 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: The sleek and stylish new Nextel i830
Review: The new Nextel i830 is UNBELIEVABLY small for a Nextel phone, and just a small phone overall. If you like a touch off class and style in your cell phone, (the broze is very sophisticated), then the Nextel i830 is for you.

Although this phone does not look to good in the pictures, it is SO much better looking in real life. The only complaint I have about this phone is that Motorola didn't change any Menu features or internal features from the i730, although the sleek new design makes up for that.

I have recieved nothing but compliments with my new phone, and I am enjoying it very much. Some people complain about the keys being to small and close together, but I do not seem to have any problem what-so-ever. The i830 is very simple to use once you get the hang of it. The ringer is the loudest I've ever heard, and you can download quite a bit of ringtones that Nextel has to offer, for 2 dollars each.

Overall, if you are thinking about upgrading to a Nextel or upgrading your existing nextel phone, definitly do it if you want the smaller size, sophistication, and Nextel's unbeatable services.

Summary: Motorola i830
Review: This is a very compact phone loaded with good features. Size is the best feature but Motorola gave up battery performance for it. If you use the compact battery that is included with the phone you get about 30 minutes of talk time before it goes dead. You can buy a regular size battery and that only increases talk time to about 1 hour. You need to charge this phone constantly which for me is a big negitive.

Summary: Great phone, love the size, but a bit overpriced!
Review: This is the smallest Nextel phone I've ever owned and I really like it overall. The bronze design is cool and really gets attention. The features are all pretty good. What I don't like is that the battery hardly lasts a day and it's a bit overpriced compared to other phones from other carriers. But, it's the best option for Nextel!
