My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Nextel Phones - why arent' they cute??? I live in the country and the BEST reception we've ever gotten is with Nextel. But why do their phones stink??? I like the cutest, sleekest, designer phone I can get....and they just don't have them. Anyone know when they are gonna get up with the times????? |

| I HATE NEXTEL! Sorry, I had to say that. Their phones suck! They charge outrageous prices for them and every other feature breaks on them! Their all lemons! I had the I860 and it was a small sleek flip phone. I too love the smaller phones, and this one was real good. They don't sell it anymore though. Maybe find another cell phone company that has the walkie-talkie on a phone that you like, purchase it, and get it unlocked.

| I'm not a fan of Nextel either. But if you're out in the country and that's the service provider that you get the best reception with I guess you're stuck? They've always had that industrial style phone... who knows if they'll ever come out with a "trendy" phone.

The I860 was trendy, real cute. I loved the look of it. I think that Nextels were originally made for people in industries that need durable phones, and I guess it's their trade mark. Could you imagine how much it would be if they had cuter phones though? Probably like $849.99 w/ 2yr contract!

Verizon and Cingular are the best phone networks out there. I have Nextel now and HATE it! I have the ugliest phone but I am just trying to stick with it until my contract runs out. I never get reception and my calls are always dropped. I used to have that cute little bronze/copper phone but of course it broke 2 months after I bought it! If you switch phone companies, switch to Cingular or Verizon. They are the BEST by far! Several different IT companies have told me this. | |

My parents have Cingular and they always have reception, also. They had reception when they went on a cruise down in the Caribbean this summer. They also had reception when they went to Alaska this summer. Seems like they also get reception everywhere. | |

| I don't like Nextel either. My husbands work phone is with nextel and it is ancient. To tell you how old it is he doesn't even carry it any more. We have cingular and that's the one that he carries. His nextel is so big and bulky and heavy. But he is in maintenance and I guess they wanted one that could stand up to the torture of being dropped on a concrete floor. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
