Summary: very solid phone
Review: first, this phone feels huge. I carry it in my pocket every day, but I wish it was half as thick. That said, I've had the phone for a little more than a year and it works perfectly. I've dropped it several times, left it in a hot car, etc and never had a problem. I did buy a second battery when I purchased the phone, and one of the two batteries died after about a year. I just charge it every 36 hours or so and I've usually got plenty of power. I use the Java apps, I use their browser, mostly to check movies, and I use it with a short cable to connect to my iPaq. Everything works great. But it still feels like a brick -- I heard a comedian say that cell phones are the only thing men will brag about theirs being smaller...

Summary: nice phone
Review: Great phone alot better then sprint! Setting it up with the 800 # Well let's say pack a LUNCH! It took me 4 hours on the phone, and six different people to get connected! They need alot of work on that! After all said and done great phone, great coverage, walkie talkie feature breaks up now and then, but is really quick talking back and forth.No alarm clock? would be nice! if had to activate again would take it to a nextel dealer to do it instead of calling it in! nice pic on colored screen, games look nice.thinking of an upgrade to the i730, GPS but no alarm clock? a full feature phone with GPS to take you anywhere but NO alarm clock to wake you up when your there? I go camping and 4 wheeling where the GPS would come in handy and so would the ALARM CLOCK! think they might get the message and make it a downloadable feature! HOPE THIS HELPS!

Summary: Amazon and Nextel do not partner well together
Review: I do not like the phone because it only holds a charge for about 12 hours...If you use it it holds it for less time. I ordered two of these and it happens with both. I also tried replacing the phone and it happened with the new one as well. The second problem occured when I signed up with Amazon for Nextel service. I was told by Nextel that I would not have a specific length of time I would have to keep my service. They said this was special for Amazon customers...However when I tried to cancel the service I was told I had to stay in a contract for one year. I NEVER signed or agreed to a contract however I am told I am being held to one. I have been going around in circles with these two companies and nobody can get their act together...Love Nextel service but not when you use Amazon to get it...Try another plan or go directly through Nextel.

Summary: Best Phone, Best Service, Best Features, A+++++++++++++
Review: I have owned several phones with many wireless service providers. Nextel is a million miles ahead of the rest. The Direct Connect feature is easy to use and instant, there are NO ROAMING charges at all, prices are very reasonable, phones are rugged, wireless web and email functions are easy to use and fast, battery holds charge for 2 or more days on this COLOR phone (that is some kind of miracle as other color phone I have had have to be charged at least once a day), and it is comfortable to hold and use. The blue lighted buttons are cool and easy to use in the dark and the full color display is just excellent with many downloadable wallpapers, ring tones, and java applications. The speaker phone is crystal clear as is the push to talk fuctionality. The customer service department is fast, polite and effective. I have never had a phone or service that is so pleasing and easy to use overall. I also looked at bringing several of my family member's cell numbers to Nextel, and found out they had the lowest by far of any cell phone companies complaints about transferring phone numbers! Definitely a keeper and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE!

Summary: A great phone
Review: I have this phone for about 10 months. The calls are clear in many places where I can't get my other service to work. I have dropped it numerous times on our concrete driveway and never had a problem other than a few scratches from the impact. A few weeks ago I even dropped it in our pool. As it stopped working, I called a local authorized repair shop and they told me it could not be repaired. To save the $200 they wanted to charge me for a new phone and sign up to a new contract, I open it up and dried it well and a couple of days later it was working as before. This is the best phone I ever had!

Summary: Great color phone for Nextel users
Review: I've been a Nextel customer for years for both business and personal use. I've used almost all lines of phones. The i95cl was my favorite until i830 came along. The i95 is good for casual and especially heavy business users. The color LCD screen is huge compared to i730 and i830. Apparently Nextel had to reduce screen size in order to reduce phone size. That is one thing I miss in i830. I never had a problem with i95 size since it weighs about 5 oz. Great phone and I could not believe Nextel would discontinue it. *Note: I have an extra i95 for sale. It was my personal phone and in very good condition with some scratches. It is fully operational, travel charger and holster, shipping in USA included for flat $120.00. I will accept paypal only. Please email me if interested at [e-mail].

Summary: Great Phone
Review: I've only had this phone a few weeks but so far i love it. The internet connection is so much faster than any other phone i've had. Nextel's customer service has been fantastic so far with set up and number porting. This phone is durable and surpisingly comfortable. The speaker phone is wonderful, ive used it twice and works great. The only thing that this phone could use, is a quick alarm. You have to use the calendar feature to set an appt and reminder in order to use your phone as an alarm. Other than that...it's the best phone and service i've ever had.

Summary: Great Phone...
Review: I've owned this phone for several months now, and I really have no complaints. I know there are camera phones out there, and phones with better graphics that are thinner, but none of them have the great service that Nextel offers. I've tried all the major providers that are available here and they just don't compare. There are so many ways you can personalize this phone. But one of the relatively few drawbacks is that you can't assign a ringtone to certain people. Although you can with the new phones that just came out. But overall, this is a great phone with many features and you can add ringtones, wallpapers, java programs... I would have given it 5 stars, but it is a bit bulky, and you are limited compared to the newer phones out there. But you really can't go wrong with the i95cl.

Summary: Pretty good, so far...
Review: It's been 3 weeks now and I've only had minor voice mail setup issues. The phone itself is the best I've had in years. Clear calls and it gets signals where my previous AT&T service would not. My guess is that this is partly due to the good Nextel coverage my area gets.

As for the phone...I did not particularly like the v60 series. My flip seemed cheap and I broke the antenna really easily. This phone feels much stronger and better constructed. Lucky for me all of my v-series accessories fit, so there were no extra purchases needed. I'll see what 6 months to a year brings.
