Motorola I870 (Sprint Nextel)

The i870 is superior to any other phone I have ever owned (2 other Nextel compatable phones, 2 erricsons, a nokia, and a motorola) in almost every respect.

First, the bad news. It is relatively big, fat, and heavy. I almost didn't get it for this reason.

Now that I have it, I am really happy with it. Here are the things I like about this phone:

1) sound quality is excellent, truly excellent. The voice is not only the clearest of any phone I have ever owned, It also has a very large "sweet spot" on the ear piece.

2) the screen is large, bright, and colorful.

3) the push button flip is great (but since the phone is heavy, make sure you are holding it tight or it can pop out of your hand when it pops open).

4) the speakerphone is top quality. The person on the other end can't even tell they are on speakerphone. The sound quality at my end is excellent as well.

5) the interface. I love the ability to program all the keys and soft keys for the features I use most often.

6) everything else: the MP3, removable memory card, GPS, bluetooth, etc. To be honest, I havn't used these features yet. I look forward to playing with them when I have the time.

All in all, this is an excellent phone. I don't regret spending the extra money, because this phone is worth it.
