Cons: battery life is short.

Have you ever found yourself working on a tough problem and you really need to call someone who you know has the answer, but the nearest phone is 20 ft away or worse yet the two-way radio is out in your truck. I found myself in this situation way to many...

Pros: Web enabled, small size, light weight, large display screen, send and receive email, faxes.
Cons: Humm, none come to mind.

There I sat in a boring business luncheon, in a so-so restaurant waiting for lunch to be delivered. As I waited I was half listening to the colleague on my right go on and on about his current paramour, while half listening to the other conversations...

Pros: Speaker phone, Two way radio, Battery Life
Cons: Bigger than the StarTac Digital

I used the following phones and service providers here in Nashville, TN:

Motorola StarTac Digital - Bell South

Motorola i1000 - Nextel

It's important to distinguish between the phones and the service provider. Bell...

Pros: 2-way radio, speakerphone, instant silent mode
Cons: bulky, hard to program, short battery time

This is a business Cell Phone System! The best feature of this phone is the 2-way Private Radio that does not count against your monthly paid minutes. My company chose the Nextel i1000 plus as its new solution for internal communication. We tried a...

Pros: Direct Connect
Cons: Phone is bulky, and Cover will break,

I have my window open and am very tempted to toss.. no.. hurl this piece of junk at great velocity towards the pavement.
I bought the i1000+ after much due diligence. The reasons I found it attractive were Direct Connect feature- (walkie talkie...

Pros: Walkie Talkie function is very handy
Cons: Battery life, menu navigation

This is one of the few phones that I actually have been very disappointed with... Here is a basic comparison of the i1000 to the StarTAC series of phones which Motorola also puts out. If there is anybody that would like a simple comparison between any...

Pros: lightweight, great features
Cons: durability, coverage area

I have been using the i1000 for about a year now and have very few complaints. The direct connect feature is what makes this phone stand out from any normal cell phone. I love the ability to talk to any of our techs at the touch of a button. Should...

Pros: small, light, long battery, direct-connect
Cons: cell range, falls out of hip holster

My company has deployed over 120 of the Nextel radio/phones to our field staff. We service customer's computer equipment, and this device allows us instant access to them. We did the pager senario, and it was a pain to get return calls from the field...

Pros: Two-way radio, speakerphone and alphanumeric paging
Cons: poor control layout, hard to program

My department bought 6 Nextel/Motorola i1000 digital phones in December for the big Y2K fiasco. The plan was for everyone having immediate access to any member on the project team in case there were any emergencies. Like most company, we were well...

Pros: Lots of features in a relatively compact package
Cons: Somewhat difficult to learn to program

I've been through many cellphones since I first bought a mobile phone, and I must say that I'm quite happy with the Motorola i1000 so far.

I switched to Nextel after using AT&T with my Nokia 6162 - primarily for the wireless web. The i1000...

Pros: Direct-Connect walkie-talkie functionality, built in speakerphone
Cons: Confusing menus, a bit on the bigger side, but still pocket friendly

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. A mobile phone is ONLY as good as the network it's on.

That being said, the i1000plus is a very good phone, believe it or not... I purchased mine through a local retailer for $99 (I purchased 2, one...

Pros: 2-way radio, easy to read LCD
Cons: bulky design, poor battery life, sketchy service

At first glance the Nextel i1000 cellular phone/two-way radio shows some resemblence to the fashionably sleek Motorola StarTac. They share very similar looks, basic battery design, and they even both come with an almost identical belt clip. The...

Pros: Lightweight, ease of use, display icons
Cons: none yet

This is probably one of the best and easiest to use phones I have used to date. This unit is small and lightweight. The setup instructions are easy to read and to follow. I especially like the quick reference card that comes in the package for you...

Pros: Loads of features, superb speaker phone, battery life
Cons: Dropped calls, Screen size small for Internet

After owning an analog Startec through Cellular One, I opted for a more robust phone through the Nextel service. Although Nextel's service is geared more for businesses, I was interested in the i1000.

The i1000 is loaded with features. All...

Pros: Two way talk system
Cons: paging and voice mail awkward

I work for the federal government and my agency just bought Nextel i1000 phones for all of the agents. The majority of federal law enforcement agencies have moved to the Nextel system. The Nextel system has been an excellent investment for our...
