The Bottom Line:
This is the best Nextel Phone on the market. It is great for the price and is incredibly durable. Compared to it's counterparts battery life, it is amazing.
There are many different Nextel phones on the market. The newest being the Nextel i95c. It is a great phone, but the battery life on that phone is horrible. You have to carry an extra battery with you at all times incase it runs out. (The dealer will even tell you this but make it sound like a good thing). This is not the case with Nextel i60.
I have had this phone for almost half a year now and I love it do death. The battery life is remarkable. Even people that I know with the i95 complain about their battery life. This problem is not even conceivable with the i60. It lasts for about two days straight without being charged.
Aside from the battery life, this phone is very durable. It does not have the caller id display on the front like its other Nextel competitors but I take that as a good thing. I have seen people shatter the glass on the caller id due to the phone dropping. The i60 has sort of a rubber pad on the face to protect it from accidental drops.
The Nextel i60 has decent features. One thing that really gets me is that it does not have an alarm clock. I used this feature on my old phone all the time. Nextel should consider adding an alarm clock to this phone. Aside from the alarm clock, another feature it does not have is that you cannot write text messages unless your internet is activated on the phone. However, you can still receive text messages. In addition, this phone does not have any games.
Other then that, the i60 offers all other basic features found on almost all cell phones like 250 phonebook entry, ring tones, vibration, etc.
The design of the phone is exactly like its counterparts i95 and i90. Its body is exactly like the i90 but without the caller id display on the front. Other differences between the two phones include, advanced features on the i90 and the blue backlight display. The i60 offers a dull green display. If you are me however, I could care less about the backlight.
For those that are familiar with Nextel, it was mainly designed for the business person. With that in mind, the Nextel plans are expensive compared to other providers on the market.
The Nextel i60 has great reception in the city area as long as you don't break or lose your antenna. I accidentally unscrewed my antenna and lost it. After this happened, I barely had any reception anywhere until I got a new antenna. In the Suburban areas however, this phone has only decent connection. I occasionally have dropped calls when I am out of the city.
Finally, we get to the price. At this time, this phone is CHEAP. You can find it in the New York City area for $50 with a $50 mail in rebate, so you basically get it for free. You just have to pay activation charges and things like that. If you get this phone instead of the i90, which is almost exactly the same thing, you will save a lot of money.
