Nice phone be Nextel
Pros
Compact size. Flip design. Basic features. Two way plus cellular.
Cons
No view screen on outside of cover. No case or holder included.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
This is a nice cell phone that also has the two way radio capability. It is light and compact. If you get one, I suggest getting the leather case.
Nextel I-60C
I am the Nextel coordinator for a public school district and I currently manage 89 Nextel phones. We recently started upgrading older phones to the new I-60c and we love it. First off the size is perfect. We have a lot of the old I-1000 flip phones which are very bulky compared to the new I-60c.
I've been working with this model phone for about 3 months now and haven't had any complaints about it. All my users love the compact size and the basic features to the phone. Menus are pretty straight forward and easy to follow. You don't have to read the manual front to back to learn how to program this phone. I suggest downloading the Companion Pro software for free from http://idenphones.motorola.com/iden/support/software/pcsftw_applications.jsp
Design – The I-60c is well made and very sturdy as well as compact. It does lack the convenience of a small screen on the outside of the phone to identify incoming calls as on the I-90c version. Once the cover is open, it has a nice sized display with an easy to read font. Navigation through menus is accomplished by a four way arrow pad above the numbers. One drawback is the lack of a carrying device. The I-60c ships with out the plastic snap in holder that used to be standard. Nextel is however, now offering a leather case with belt clip as an option to the plastic holder. There are now many cases available for the I-60c from after market vendors.
Battery – The battery on the I-60c although small, holds a good charge. After 14 hours of charging, the phone holds a charge for a good 5 to 7 days in standby mode.
Functions – This phone has all the common features that you would expect in a phone, (phone book, customizable styles, different ring tones and more) One nice thing about the phone book is that you enter a persons name only once then you can assign different phone numbers for work, home, mobile, and direct connect instead of having to reenter the name for each different number. You can also download different ring tones from http://www.nextel.com.
