Motorola I870 (Sprint Nextel)

Bought one for my wife. Had to enter into a 2 year agreement just to get it down to $399.00. Found this one on ebay and trying to get it for myself to avoid another contract. Ringtones, wallpaper, MP3, and Camera are the best features to this phone. The games downloaded are high resolution and the music played through the phone sound crystal clear! Really working hard for this bid!

The Motorola i870 is the Rolls Royce of Nextel phones. It has everything you need and then some. I've ordered every new Nextel phone that came out and kept changing phones every 6 months. I've had this phone for about a year and half and I love it. This is the only nice looking phone with Bluetooth that Nextel offers. This is the only phone that has a built-in MP3 player that Nextel offers. The huge color screen is very nice with very vibrant colors. The camera on this phone is excellent for a mobile phone. It also has a memory card slot for added memory. One thing I love about this phone is its Video Camera. Most phones have a limited Video camera time. This phone comes standard with a 30 second Video recorder, but if you change the cameras storage device from your phone to the memory card, you can record videos until your memory card is full. I have a 1GB card in my phone and recorded a video 20 minutes long and still have room for plenty more. I've dropped my phone many times and absolutely nothing happend to it except for some cosmetic scratches. Its an awesome phone.

I have had this phone now since it came out, i have since passed it on to my father who also uses nextel he loves it it works great and takes a beating we work as carpenters, www.stevescarpentry.org , and we both put our phones through alot of battle and use and this one lasts!

Please vote if you found this helpful and happy bidding!!!

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.
