Summary: ok for 2-way, but text messaging is a pain!
Review: I had a Sony Ericsson phone before this with AT&T. Boy am I sorry I gave that up. Having switched over to be able to use 2-way feature, I could beat myself over the head. I hate this phone. I want my old one back. This thing is bigger and clutzier than my old phone. It has a maze of menus that are too time consuming to go through. I want to text message, with my old phone it was a breeze. With this it is so time consuming and cumbersome just to get through all the screens to actually be able to start typing, it's not worth the aggravation. I hardly text at all now. I am in a contract so I keep hoping Nextel will come out with some different phone options. It takes 10 different strokes to get to a screen to enter text to someone, and each press of a key, the phone has to wait for the network to respond, which sometimes takes a few minutes, sometimes the network isnt even available! So at 10 presses taking a few seconds each, it's hardly worth the irritation to get a text message out. It's a pain. Everyday I consider cancelling and paying the cancellation fee just to be done with it. I hate the phone every time I use it. I also loved the alarm clock on my old phone, with this Nextel phone, I had to pay about [money amount] to download an alarm clock from the web site, then discover it's also a pain to use. I have yet to figure out how to easily shut it off or set snooze. Once again there's no easy way. Did I mention I hate this phone.

Summary: REMEMBER YOUR FIRST LOVE? GREAT. NOW BUY THIS PHONE.
Review: Every purchase decision should be this easy. Wireless phones just don't get much better than Motorola's fabulous i90c. If you want to waste your time playing video games, or download lots of annoying ring tones, or wow your friends with an array of interchangeable faceplates, there are plenty of mediocre models from which to choose. If you simply want one of the best wireless phones ever made, pick up an i90c. You'll appreciate it every time you make or receive a call. And the i90c is as gorgeous as it is great. This thing's so fine, it's practically orgasmic. Then again, it's just another phone. (Right. And Farrah Fawcett's just another actress.)

Summary: Handy and convenient
Review: Great little phone. Light and easy to use. The best detail is the speakerphone feature. My only complaint is that sometimes the volume on the repeat of the name you say for voice dialing is so low that you can't hear it.

Summary: On my THIRD repair in two months
Review: I received this phone and was please mostly with the speakerphone function. It is a bit larger than comparable units because of that, but was worth it to me. HOWEVER, two weeks into owning the unit, it started reading incompatible charger every time I plugged in any charger. I took it in for service who was less than helpful, but eventually repaired it on-site only after I told them to cancel the service. It worked for about a week, then it restarted and I had to return to Amazon.com (which I must say was helpful service over the phone). Now, the replacement is doing the same thing along with turning itself off periodically. I am about to call to arrange return of this phone as well.

Summary: Problems with reception, menu and some functions.
Review: The phone seems to work well at times but poorly at other times. Incoming vioce fades in and out in my home. Outside of my home I often here echos or buzzing sounds in the background. The ringer doesn't work in the AM until I check the volume. It is always up but until I actually push the increase volume control the ringer stays silent. I was able to set it to vibrate so at least I can feel the first call of the morning just in case I forget to check the volume. The earphone is difficult to hear even with the volume at maximum. It is difficult to navigate around the menu. The message service tells my customers "You are being transfered to an automated ansewering system." This is annoying to callers who often hang up rather than wait for my message followed by the beep. Had I known this prior to signing up I would not have selected a Nextel as my cellular co..

Summary: Poor battery life for an otherwise great phone
Review: This is basically a feature-loaded phone, the coverage in SF bay area where I live is excellent, but when travelling it is no match for AT&T wireless (my wife has one from AT&T). My biggest complaint is that battery life is exceedingly poor - requires charging everyday if you talk a lot! That is a big lowdown. Coast-to-coast direct connect works great - still in rollout phase in some parts. speakerphone is excellent...

Summary: i90c torture
Review: I have had my i90 for 18 months now and have tortured the heck out of the phone. I do traveling show(concert) production, and I absolutly love the phone and but after like 5 months i totally wore out the belt clip and the phone kept falling out, I should have stopped using it but I didnt. The phone fell off once, onto pavement underwater for 45min untill I found it, set the phone on a fan for the night and it powered up and worked fine. The kicker was when I dropped it while I was on truss 40 feet in the air, and a coworker turned it on and gave it back to me! But after numerous drops and abuse it shows its age but still works! Only problems is the reception isnt as good as my coworkers, and the charger will shut off the phone if I dont plug the connector in perfectly straight. Phones usually dont last me more than 6 months! Now this is one hellva phone. Another great motorola product!

Summary: Solid, reliable
Review: The phone is a little chubby, but lets not forget its a phone and a walkie talkie. As far as battery life - Its solid. The reason it doesnt get DAYS of standby like other carriers is because the phone is always active on the system because of the instant walkie talkie. Phones on other carriers can "sleep" every few seconds then tune in, checking for a recieving call every 4-5 seconds. Nextel got it working well with no drawbacks.

Summary: Great phone
Review: If your looking for a new cellphone this one is the way to go. It has tons of features but not lots of pointless ones like some phones have.
