Besides using its own iDEN transmission technology and offering an extensive set of business-friendly features such as push-to-talk functionality, Nextel Phones tends toward bulky, sturdy, and none-too-flashy models. But with Nextel latest mobiles, the company has begun to change its reputation with handsets that are slim and stylish, as well as packed with a broader selection of features.
Nextel loyalists may not be impressed, but the new phones have broadened the carriers appeal. We pick out a few of our favorites here. The Motorola i860 is the first Nextel Phones with a camera, the Motorola i605 marks the carriers second foray into the world of Bluetooth, the Motorola i355 is a basic but durable model for less demanding users, and the compact i870 offers multimedia features. And for those who crave a smart phone, Nextel finally has an option for you. The Motorola i930 runs on Windows Mobile 2003 SE, and with iDEN and GSM support, it's perfect for globe-trotters.
