Amazon.com Product Description

When you want to take your whole world with you, look no further than the Nextel i930. This Windows Mobile-powered smartphone (Windows Mobile for Smartphones 2003 Second Edition) is designed to keep you in touch in ways that few other phones can. It's got great features, too, like an SD memory card slot, support for international service, and a VGA camera. Add all that to Nextel's legendary Direct Connect walkie-talkie services, and you've got an indispensable mobile companion.

<B>Design</B>
The i930 is no ordinary clamshell. Like other Nextel phones, it's built tough for construction and utilities industry users. The phone sports a very large 176 x 220 TFT color display with 65,000 colors. Meanwhile, the outside cover features a supplementary color display that can show images, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The built-in camera and LED flash are located above this display.

A speakerphone unit is located on the rear of the phone, while the trademark Direct Connect and menu scrolling functions can be controlled from the side of the phone. The phone's control pad also features a five-way button that can control most of the phone's functions. A small button on the hinge of the phone's flip mechanism automatically opens the phone for quick access-- a real plus if you have your hands full. A standard headset jack and a USB-compatible data port are also provided.

As mentioned, the i930 sports a slot for an SD memory card so you can store music, games and other files on the removable memory, making it possible to take all the files you need with you.

<B>Calling Features</B>
The i930 has all the latest calling features folks have come to expect. The built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Vibrate modes and custom WAV and MP3 ringtones can also be set to your preferences so you know who is calling without having to look at the LCD. The included Pocket Outlook software features a contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone's dialing functions. The i870's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911.

One of the key features of any Nextel phone is support for Nextel's Direct Connect walkie-talkie technology. The i930 fully supports the service, which allows for one-touch conversations with anyone else on a Nextel phone. It's like a having a CB radio with enough range to cover all of North America. The i930 also features a walkie-talkie private speaker button. This switches from the external speaker to the earpiece for private conversations or to minimize disruptions in quiet environments.

With the i930, Nextel has thought of those who travel frequently. Thanks to an integrated GSM radio, you can use the phone on international GSM networks with an optional Nextel Worldwide service plan. GSM-based data services can also be accessed when you travel in parts of North and South America, Europe, and Asia.

<B>Messaging, Internet, and Tools</B>
Designed as a complete solution for people who want to bring their office with them, the i930 comes packed with pocket versions of Outlook, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger. In addition to keeping track of contacts, Pocket Outlook features integrated calendar and email functions. Email support is provided for IMAP and POP3 accounts, as well as corporate accounts. Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with all of your PC's Outlook information (via USB or infrared connection). Plus, with a Nextel Data Unlimited pack, you can get unlimited data transfers from the Nextel network -- great for those times when you want to connect your laptop or PDA to your i930 and surf the Web or check your email.

You can use the i930's built in Internet Explorer browser for downloads and mobile web browsing. Nextel's optional data packages allow you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. The service also features games, ringtones, realtime news and sports updates, virtual address books, and more-- all delivered to your Nextel phone. Traditional text messaging, as well as MMS-based video, picture and sound messaging are also supported by the phone. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the i930 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, a to-do list, and an alarm clock.

<B>Imaging and Entertainment</B>
The i930's VGA (640 x 480) still camera also features video capture capability and an LED flash for better performance in low-light situations. The inclusion of Windows Media Player on the i930 means that you can use the handset as an MP3 and video player, as well. The amount of music and video you can store is only limited by the memory available on the SD expansion card.

The phone is also compatible with a number of Java applications available from Nextel. Choose TeleNav for GPS-based audible driving directions or Mobile Locator for finding the location of a friend or loved-one's phone (both require a subscription). You can also take a break or organize your schedule with some included games and applications. More Windows Mobile game and application downloads are available from Nextel.

<B>Vital Statistics</B>
The Motorola i930 weighs 5.9 ounces and measures 3.46 x 1.93 x 1.18 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 168 minutes of digital talk time, and up to 95 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the IDEN 800 frequency, as well as the GSM 900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

1 out of 5 stars Worst cell phone I've ever used.......2007-05-12

I've had this phone for about a year and a half and I CANNOT wait until my contract is up. I originally got this phone because I was going to Italy and needed a phone that worked overseas.

This phone is extrememly heavy and large as far as cell phones go and I am very disappointed with the options. You can't even change the volume of the alarm that goes off and it's unnecessarily loud.

The battery life of this phone is the worst of any phone I've ever had. I have to charge it up at least once a day whereas with other phones, I could go three days without charging them.

This phone is overpriced and nowhere near worth the money it costs. I would NOT recommend it to anyone.

4 out of 5 stars Stay with the i860 unless you need the internet........2006-07-28

-Sync with PC
-Windows Mobile

-Windows Media Player (Music, Video, Pics)
-Best Nextel on the Market
-Good keys
-Speaker Phone
-Headphone Outlet ($10 for the nextel headphone on eBay, great for music)
-Big operational external display
-Walkie-Talkie


Cons:
-Huge Phone (It's very thick.)

-Poor Battery Life
-Windows warns low battery at about 1/3 battery life (thus making the battery life even shorter.)
-Windows Mobile (crashes sometimes.)
-Very Overpriced (considering a Motorola Q, Trio, or Blackberry)
-Heavy
-No Keyboard (if you want one)
-Only Using GSM out of the USA!! iDen is used in the US, which in only 2nd gen (slower).
-No Off-Network Walkie-Talkie

1 out of 5 stars Horrible battery life!!!.......2006-07-14

Got the phone 2 days ago. Fully charge over night, went to work, battery run out before i got home!!! Total calls made = 4, Total minutes used = 10 mints, Total battery life < 10 hours! Return next day. Great looking phone, lot of functions, feel very well build, but terrrible battery life!

5 out of 5 stars very nice phone.......2006-06-17

this phone is very nice. if you are in to computers it can do almost anything a real computer could. Like download music files and progams upload pictures and send them make your own themes for the phone download mp3s for ringtones or just to listen to them in windows media player this is really a nice phone for thoughs of you in to mobile compact computer type phones.

2 out of 5 stars Get ready to do some hacking........2006-05-25

I have had my i930 for about two months. I travel quite a bit so I really need the GSM feature. Nextel didn't do their regular customers any favors with this phone. I've been a Nextel subscriber for ten years and expected something better. I do have some good news for those owners that are daring enough to do some hacking. Sign on to [...] and pay the nerd that runs the sight $9.95 and you can download a program and a set of directions that will unlock this aggravating beast. From then on it will run anything that runs on any Windows smartphone. If Sprint really intends to continue selling this model they should unlock it. If I had a choice (I use it for work) I'd get rid of it and get something else.
