Time for a Nextel Upgrade

[NeonImpact]

I have this phone if you know anyone who would be interested. I just got out of my contract of nextel, and I'm in Calvert County.

It's only about 4 months old. I have the chargers (home + car) for it as well.

Sprint and Nextel are the same company that is why I said check out SERO from Sprint/Nextel. You can keep the same company but get a new plan. SERO stands for Sprint Employee Referral Offer.

Gotcha; thanks! I'll ask about it when I call them on the 1st. I know we're going to a family plan though once I get my new phone. But I'm definately sticking with Nextel in terms of needing bleep-bleep ... b/f and I use it a lot with both of us on the go so much and his travel.

Can shoot an hour video.. limited web access for weather, headlines, hotmail and yahoo mail etc etc, .. IM (yahoo, MSN and AOL).. camera.. speaker phone.. full qwerty keyboard.. and sturdy enough to stand up to my use and abuse.

to all of it but I have the newer model, the LG9900. I've only had it a week or so but absolutely love all the features.

My boyfriend had to have his i760 replaced through insurance and since they didnt have any of those they sent him the i930. Talk about an upgrade. Nice phone and it was even better that it only cost 50 instead of the 500 to do it without extending the contract.

I'm not looking to get a phone with a bunch of fru-fru features ... I don't have time to email/web/IM, etc. from it ... I'm more concerned about signal, durability/ruggedness (which is why I won't get a Razr).

I went with the i335 ... it's nextel's new hand-held (non-flip) that's rugged, super thin, light-weight, blue-tooth capable, internal antenna phone. It's not as tall as my flip when I have it open, and only a little taller than the flip when it's closed, thinner than a deck of cards, and maybe 2 inches wide. The buttons are comfy to use as well. I've only made one call with it so far, and it's got good sound. The real test will be the internal antenna in terms of reception. But throughout the house, so far, it's got good signal.

I've been waiting on a non-flip phone that isn't the size/weight of a brick to come out, and this is it!

My friend has dropped hers a million (you get my point) times and I can't believe her Razr is still in tact. Granted, it has a few scratches on it, but for the most part it has held up well. I've heard bad things about them.

I've never been a fan of the razr ... they're flimsy and not rugged enough for me. They're more "accessory" than "function" to me.

I have a Razr and it's plenty rugged. My brother had one too and it withstood a lot of abuse until he lost it. He's since upgraded 4 or 5 times and I swiped one of his leftovers so I don't use the Razr anymore. It was a good phone though.
