Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / November 2003i90 or i730? Which should I Buy?
I am going to sign up with NexTel on Dec 1. Which phone should I buy? The i90 or i730 or even the i95. Or should I wait until they come out with new phones. I hear that there are problems with the new i730. Or ------------- should I just can the NexTel idea and just go with Verizon? Please -- Need help. This is going to be my FIRST cell phone purchase ever. I want to make an informed decision. I like the PTT of Nextel as my friends have them. A couple people I know have Verizon PTT and the delay seems troublesome. Need some guidance quickly. Thank You, Scotty WarBucks You'll have to talk to a Nextel Rep at the Nextel Store in order to help you suppress your decision. The i90c is already discontinued as the last bastion of shipments already hit the Nextel Stores as Motorola is now offering discounts on the i90c. What you might like about the i90c: * J2ME Powered * External Caller ID * Tunes and Games What you might not like about the i90c: * No Color What you might like about the i95cl: * All the features of the i90c * GIF-Quality Color Screen What you might not like about the i95cl: * Bulky for a Clamshell Phone What you might like about the i730: * 16-Bit Color * Newest SIM Technology * J2ME Support What you might not like about the i730: * Pricey * Limited Games Tell me, what are you planning to do with your Nextel Phone? If you are not going to go bonkers with upgrades, then I'd suggest the i730. If you really need a Nextel Phone right now, choose your phone wisely as you definitely want to keep a Nextel Phone for as long as you want. E-Mail me at markkim31@spamhater.comcast.net if you need more assistance. >[snip] >I hear that there are problems with the new i730. >[snip] Scotty, I'm about to have my wife switch from AT&T to Nextel and get the i730. I've had Nextel for a year (in SE N.H.), am happy with Nextel and am staying with it. What are the problems with the i730 that you have heard about?

I've had mine for three weeks. It's a great little phone. Go for it. > >[snip] > >I hear that there are problems with the new i730.

I was not unhappy with the i90c, but, my eyesight is not the best and for me the i95cl is easier to read. It has a neat zoom feature which is helpful to me. I looked at the i730 and I thought it was nice. I chose the i95cl instead as we have extra accessories (car cords, wall chargers, etc.) for the i90c/i95cl that would not fit the i730 and the i95cl seemed to fit my needs. That said, we have not had any issue with the i90c's. Where did you hear that there's problems with the new i730? I've had one for three weeks with nary a problem. It replaced my i90c.

One of my buddies had the i730 and took it back because there was a problem getting the internet hooked up. The NexTel rep said that there was a problem with that part of the phone and did not know if it was a software problem or not. > Where did you hear that there's problems with the new i730?

It locks up when you dial for several seconds at a time, doesn't hang up right away, signal stregnth is not as good in the fringe areas compared to an i90/95. I have tried 3 different 730's and all of them have had the same issues. I suspect they are software issues and will be taken care of during subsequent releases. The 730 is not near as rugged as the i90/95 as well. One drop to the ground and the case looks like crap. Good luck, Timmy > Hey Skversky, give me a BREAK! I am just looking for some feedback.

Check out www.howardforums.com and you'll see lots of posts from people less than happy with the i730. I recommend the i95. It's a quality color phone that's durable and works very well-and doesn't cost a fortune. SueNY > The i730 has tons of problems.
