Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / November 2004The i730 sucks...
I have the i730 phone. Whoever was the idiot that designed this thing should not design another phone EVER. The god damn belt clip covers the external display. What good is an external display if it's covered up all the time. The damn speaker when the clam shell is opened is on the back of the phone? What moron put a speaker BEHIND the phone? There have been many times I had to turn the god damn phone around to hear what the other person was saying. All this hype about it and to find out it's complete crap pisses me off. Are there any other phones out there that don't have these ridiculous problems? > I have the i730 phone. Whoever was the idiot that designed this thing should > not design another phone EVER.

No different than the other Nextel clamshells- all of the display face into the clip. I find it easier to unclip the phone and look, rather than contort to look down at my waist. > The damn speaker when the clam shell is opened is on the back of the phone? First, I believe they were able to put a bigger speaker in it that way. Second, it makes it much easier to hear when clipped on the sun visor in my car. > What moron put a speaker BEHIND the phone?

Are you under the impression that you have to talk into the open clamshell in speaker mode? > All this hype about it and to find out it's complete crap pisses me off. Are > there any other phones out there that don't have these ridiculous problems? I'm aware I don't have to talk with the clamshell open...but if I initiate a call or start a direct, it usually stays open for the duration some times. It's just plain ol' dumb being on the back. Being these are all "high" speakers anyway, it's all directional which means it should be smack in front of my face. I gotta see about another phone...this is ridiculous. > > I have the i730 phone.

I sometimes use the phone for impromptu conference calls and it's nice to have the phone open and see the status while you are using the speaker, like I did with the i1000. I guess I could turn it face down but that is stupid. >I have the i730 phone. Whoever was the idiot that designed this thing should >not design another phone EVER.

Unless you wear the belt clip on your glasses, how do you plan to look at the display? -- If you wear it on your belt, like it's designed to be used, then this is an ideal design as it protects the face. >The damn speaker when the clam shell is opened is on the back of the phone? Yes. >What moron put a speaker BEHIND the phone? There have been many times I had >to turn the god damn phone around to hear what the other person was saying. Hold the phone in your hand, cup your hand around the phone and the sound will reflect up towards you.  SignatureHAM AND EGGS: A day's work for a chicken; A lifetime commitment for a pig I use the beltclip for lots of things, not ONLY a beltclip. Don't put me in jail for using it for other places. I clip it on my sway handle in my vehicle and yea...hands free headset is plugged in and all. So in order to take a friggin call I need to unclip the phone, see who it is, open the phone and answer it. Lots of work for a "hands free" phone. It's just dump covering up any external display in my opinion. They could have made a clip which let that display come through...but why do some thing so easy to make it useful? My god man, holding the phone in such a way to have the audible sound reflect off my palm and shoot upward so I can hear it better is not a solution for me. I don't want to "think" about how I'm holding the phone or worry about how I'm holding it. I can't be the only person that thinks putting a speaker on the rear of a phone is just a dumb idea. Try this at home. Turn all your home theater speakers around so they're not facing you, but point them at the wall so the sound will bounce back. This is what you are telling me to do. My solution is to ditch this piece of crap and find another Nextel. > >I have the i730 phone. Whoever was the idiot that designed this thing should > >not design another phone EVER.

Go buy a non-oem clip from some other vendor. i havnt looked specifically for the i730, but i know you could buy many types of clips for the i1000--inward and outward facing. about looking for another nextel, this time go look at it in a store and actually see if it will meet your needs. also, calm down! > I use the beltclip for lots of things, not ONLY a beltclip.

Well, if you didn't research what you planned to buy BEFORE spending money...you are a total idiot! Next go buy an after market/non-oem belt clip, there are lots of them, and you will see your precious external display face out. Just don't run back here and cry when its beat up from things you lean up against. > I use the beltclip for lots of things, not ONLY a beltclip. Don't put me in > jail for using it for other places.

With the damn thing clipped to your belt. Take it out of the clip to see the external display. That takes less time that trying to unclip it from your belt or your pants pocket. When you open the phone to select the person you want to DC after you beep them, CLOSE THE DAMN PHONE! this way the damn speaker is right where YOU want it. Finally, what fvcking idiot would spend money for a phone they hadnt gone down to check out yet? >I use the beltclip for lots of things, not ONLY a beltclip.

Thankyou.... -- The clip thing kinda bothered me too. I don't really see the point of an external display if the freaking display is face-down in the belt clip. Kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it? > Ok here goes. With the damn thing clipped to your belt. Take it out of > the clip to see the external display.

If it faced out, would you somehow manage to look at the phone while it's on your belt? Personally, I can't bend that way, nor would I try in public. The idea is that you'll take the phone off your belt, look at the display, then decide to answer or not. Without the display, have to open the flip (either answering the call in the process, or disabling the "Answer-with-flip" feature) SignatureYou're not as stupid as you look, or sound, or our best testing indicates. Thats what I was going to say! It doesnt matter how it sits since you cant see it anyhoo. > If it faced out, would you somehow manage to look at the phone while > it's on your belt?

I pay another batt. cover for $6.00 than a screen All Nextel flip phones are aligned "face-in" to the clip, not just the 730 - this is to protect the external display from scratches. Unless you are unusually flexible, it is not possible to see a display of a phone when it is clipped to your belt anyway. The very loud speaker is on the back of the phone to improve sound quality when the phone is in the belt clip. I suggest pressing the "upper" of the two volume buttons to increase volume, or placing the phone speaker down on a hard surface to improve volume when there is much background noise. I have had several speaker phones from both Verizon and Sprint and the Nextel i730 has been far and away the best I have used. > I have the i730 phone.

Are > there any other phones out there that don't have these ridiculous problems? I strongly agree with both of your complaints. Idiots. |
