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!

Excellent Phone!!44 of 45 people found this review helpful.
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.

The phone I870 is a good phone. It has a lot of features such as playing music, a camera and a memory card. I thought I was getting a good deal on ebay but it turned out to be a disaster. I purchased two phones I870 and the next model down from it. The ebayer sold me stolen phones and never communicated. Luckly I got my money back. So beware.

I like my i870, but...Review created: 06/08/08

On the plus side, the Motorola i870 (Nextel/BoostMobile only) has superior sensitivity to some other iDen phones (my GF's i855e lost carrier in the Hollywood Hills while mine was still connected). Bluetooth connections are easy and sound great (the auto-answer function in my headset works with the phone and voice-dialing is reliable). The phone is solid with easy-to-use buttons and a clear, good-sized display, but still fits in my pants pocket. I added a Gigabyte of storage for multimedia (MP3s as well as pictures and video I have taken) for $12.
On the minus side, when the phone is connected to my computer's USB port, the extra memory is not available (I have to remove the memory card, put it in an adapter, then insert it into a card reader to transfer files). It is possible to transfer files via Bluetooth to other devices, but only one at a time. Voice dialing is tied to the SIM card, which has three drawbacks (the number of voice dials is limited by the SIM card's memory, each voice dial command is limited to 2 seconds and all voice dial presets are lost when you remove the SIM card).
The camera is better than most cell phones, but nowhere near as good as my digital camera. You can make presets to quickly get to most camera functions with a single button press, but video recording is not one of those functions, so you have to familiarize yourself with the menu sequence if you have a Michael Richards moment. Battery life is not as good as my previous phone (i730), possibly because the display is bigger and brighter, but probably because I usually have Bluetooth on when I use the phone. A more powerful battery with an extended cover can be had for around $30, last I checked.
I like the phone. It is not perfect, but meets my needs and most of my wants.

Thank you for your promptnessThank you for the promptness but I was expecting the phone that was in the picture. This one was gray instead of pink and a little scuffed up. It did have several charges though. I needed a phone and it is the model I needed so thank you for your time.

PhoneShipping was delayed, seller said she was in hospital and husband was handling her business but he lied numerous times about when the Item was shipped. I had to file a paypal cliam to have the item shipped, after I ask for a refund the seller went and shipped the item.
I was understanding for 3 weeks, until lied to

I bought this motorola i870 because I already liked the features that this phone offers because I already owned it, but I wanted to have one as a back-up phone, I like it specially because of the bluetooh feature because when I drive I can drive without using my hands while I do drive.A+++ features.

FABULOUS PHONE!I have had numerous cellular phones over the years with numerous features. This phone is definitely takes the cake! I am extremely hard on my phones (went through 10 phones in one year before). However, this phone has withstood the test of time. I have had this phone for over 2 years without any problems or replacements. IT IS DURABLE!!!!!

awesome phone with all the features - so many features, I'll never use them all! It's a phone, camera, mini SD card, MP3 player and it's compatible with Bluetooth technology! On top of all that, it has cool features like a huge display screen on the inside, and a small one on the outside - BOTH of which display pictures of people you have programmed to show up when you are talking to them! ...And, just for fun, it has a push button on the side to flip the phone open with ease :o)

I bought this phone because of the features being a Virgin Mobile Pre-pay. Most Virgin Mobile phones are terrible, boring and minimal. Very nice phone for the price and doesnt feel like a Virgin cheap ass phone. Reminds me of my other phone, a Nextel. Virgin Mobile doesnt use Motorolla which barely keeps me using Virgin Mobile Service(Sprint\Nextel). Motorolla is the best by far. Maybe this phone will keep me using Virgin. I hate Tracfone service not the phone(Motorolla). Buy a Virgin Marbl, you will understand. The top of the line Virgin Phones are too expensive for what they are...Junk! A peice of crap with a cool name.........Slide this Virgin!

This is the second one of this model we have owned. Both have given us problems to the extent they aren't worth using. The opening mechanism wears out rather quickly, not a heavy-duty phone.

Not as great as it seems0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This phone is not as user friendly as it looks. Bought it for my husband to replace the I580 and he was not that happy with it. I don't care for the way it fits in the clip.

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:
http://www.youtube.com/wa
Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It
literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I
promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account
status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you
on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below,
register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete
just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise
your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other
sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different
pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else
to buy...No commitments!!!
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not
use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Posterpass.com and paid only $10 for 4 posters). Look at the offers and choose the one
that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer,
simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to
do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on
eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which
goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your
own personal link after your orders placed.

ad).
Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping
Is Free!!!)
