I530-AWEFUL!!!!
MY HUSBAND BOUGHT THE NEXTEL I530 A YEAR AGO. WHEN WE LIVED IN PHILADELPHIA, HE GOT GOOD RECEPTION, ETC. NOW HIS PHONE SHUTS OFF WHEN HE TALKING TO SOMEONE, NO ONE CAN REACH HIM BECAUSE A MESSAGE COMES ON SAYING "PLEASE HOLD WHILE WE TRY TO CONTACT THIS NEXTEL SUBSCRIBER." HE DOESN'T GET RECEPTION IN CHALFONT, PLYMOUTH MEETING, AND SOME AREA OF PHILADELPHIA. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THE 4TH TIME NOW AND THE GUY TOLD HIM ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PHONE. MOTOROLA STOPPED MAKING IT. HE HAS ALSO LOST ALOT OF BUSINESS WITH THIS PHONE BECAUSE NO ONE CAN GET THROUGH. HIM AND I BOTH GOT NEW UPGRADED PHONES AND WE LOVE THEM. JUST SO YOU KNOW, I530 STINKS!!!!!!

Why settle for less, or commit yourself to a specific cellular provider and service plan, when you can get a complimentary unlocked top of the line Motorola RAZR v3i cell phone that works with any cellular service provider and any SIM card. I got mine free at this web site:stuffgratis.biz/razrv3i

Tough but basic
I bought this phone knowing it didn't have many extras.It is great for what it is.I've always gotten a great signal and sound quality, everyone says it sounds like a landline phone when I talk to them on it, and it's sturdy as can be.There was even a time when I fell at Oktoberfest and landed right on it, but it was no worse for it.My contract is up so I'm getting another phone with more toys on it (camera, mp3 player, etc.), but I can't say anything bad about this phone other than that the battery seems to wear down faster than other phones I have had.If you need a tough phone with a good signal and don't need any toys on it, this one is great! ...

Best Sanyo Phone to Date
This phone is truely amazing, however had the stars been in any way related to Sprint, I would have to give them two stars. I have owned this phone for 2 years and have dropped about five calls out of thousands. I have service well beyond when the avaerage Samsung(never buy Samsung phones!!!)has run dead while searching for a signal while right next to a cell phone tower! The only drawback is the size, and to me it is actually benificial because I have had the phone for two years and have never lost it or had any problems whatsoever. As for Sprint...Thery are great as long as your contact with customer service is limited...very limited! I had a rep hang up on me today after being lied to yestarday from another rep. There customer service department has caused me soo many problems throughout the years, but their phone service is great.

i guess the apple never falls far from the tree.........
this phone is wonderful. i've dropped it countless times and it has one scratch on it.to the gentleman that gave this a one star because his father couldnt figure out how to use it, all i have to say is that its quite evident that technological prowess does not run in your family.i would think that making a post here on amazon would be straightforward but it seems that you were not able to figure out how to use this either.

I love this phone

Sound Is An Important Feature For A Phone
If I had written this review shortly after the purchase of my phone, it would have been filled with accolades.This phone is fantastic...until it breaks.Several years ago, I purchased the Treo 600 palm phone with Sprint coverage.Within one year, the sound stopped working.I was given a refurbished phone, which eventually came to the same end.So, now on my third phone, the sound is again causing problems.Of course, this one fell apart a year and a week after the last one was replaced so Sprint refuses to replace it.
Pretty good little device
I've had my Treo 600 over a year now, and haven't had any trouble, except for a couple lock-ups that cleared away easily w/ a soft reset.I just installed a 1 meg SD card and Real-player's MP3 player (free!) on the phone and the sound quality (w/ Sony earbuds) is much better than I expected.The 650 wasn't available when I bought mine--I assume I'd buy a 650 if I were shopping today.OBTW, I'm on Sprint and it works well, BUT!!You can't (currently) take Sprint phones over to Europe (GSM, CDMA, whatever...), so if you travel much, think about that before you go w/ a certain provider.
Facts about the treo 600!
O.k. so you want a treo 600? I have had mine for almost a year & after exploreing all it has to offer heres what i have to say!Yes i have been throught 2 phones prior to this one,but it does work.Speaker phone is good(depending on where u r in the world but in CT it works fine).Hot syincing is REAL EASY, just put the disc in ur computer & READ!!!!!it takes of the rest.Downloading apps is also a breeze just a few screen that u have to READ!!!!& ur done.I have real ringtones on my 600!(real not poly)But theres only one way to find out for urself how good it is!!!!!! ...

Great Phone on Sprint service
This is a solid well built phone.At first I thought the battery life was poor but that was because I was used to my old Qcom boat with a huge battery.Now that I'm used to it, the battery life is fine and the small size more than makes up for it.After seeing a few other phones that my friend have and the problems with them, this phone in comparison is very good.I also like the easy access to phone number in the phone book and the "last calls" access.I've had this phone now for 1.5 years and love it.

Good phone
Likes: This one is a full knock-out!
Now I have gone through many cell phones including star-tac's with cellular one on the east coast near Wash DC and LG with Verizon. What i found is that this Sanyo RL-2500 phone has all the features that I need and want in a cell phone-all of them!Read more

Cute and durable but quite slow
I've had this phone for about a year now. It was my first cell phone, and at first I was really pleased with it.
Compact & Convenient Phone
I bought this phone from T-mobile, and i found this phone is really a good choice. My first phone is Sony Erricson T216, it is also small, but not so convenient to use.
excellent product for the price
I have had this phone for over a year now and it's still working great.

i500
I really like this phone, although sometimes I wish more of its functions could be operated without the stylus, for when I am trying to one-hand it in the car or something. The quick buttons are great because you can assign them different destinations if you chose and the interent capabilities are much better than my last phone. I do wish though that it had a camera. The battery life is also very good.

I've seen worse;-)
I like my phone!And it's ok that I can't text message out...I do wish I could use the browser instead of having to download a now one.

PDA and phone in a compact package
No text messaging?I could not begin to care less.It is a PDA, better yet, it is a Palm OS PDA.I can link my Lotus Notes information to my Palm, including all of my addresses, phone numbers, notes, to-do lists, etc.I can write notes, transport documents from the office to home and make phone calls all in one very neat little package.I can surf the web, pick-up email and do a search on Google.Why would I need the kiddie feature of text messaging?

Don't buy this phone with such a bad history!
I bought this phone without doing the research I usually do because I've owned a Palm PDA for years.Turns out this phone and the 650 are part of a class action lawsuit because of the problems the phone has had.
Run ...from this no - service company
I have owned this unlocked GSM 600 phone for 3 agonizing years.Not sure whether to lynch the engineers, techs or marketers!!! Lots of potential and promises and absolutely horrible customer care.Treo and PalmOne really sucks and is pushing otherwise dedicated customers to other smart phones.Blackberry does less but more reliably.So long you silver piece of _____, I am tired of dropped calls, shut offs and resets.JGK

Spend your hard earned money on something worthy!
It is less than a year since I got my treo 600. This will be the third set I am going to get in warranty exchange program (I called these guys up today again with couple of problems and they are going to send me a new set).

The only problems it has is the camera is not the best, it only supports polyphonic ring tones, and it has too many different ways to get on the internet, wich can somewhat often get activated accidentally. overall this is a great phone, with a few minor corks in the design...

Very Satisfied
I've had this phone for several years.For a while after purchasing this phone I had quite a few problems with the connection breaking up and such.Cingular couldn't help me other even after exchanging the phone out.They told me at the time that it was the phone and not the service.As a result, I started shopping for another phone and wound up with the Motorola V551 which I've been using for over a year now.I like this phone, but not the size and weight, so recently I switched back to the Samsung 307 because it is so much smaller and easy to use.Well, guess what, the signal strength is far better than it was, and calls are as good as the Motorola, so it was Cingular all this time and not the phone.I would highly recommend this phone for anyone who is not necessarily interested in having a camera phone.An especially nice feature of this phone is how the numbers are enlarged on the screen when entered on the keypad.No more squinting to make sure you've dialed the correct number.The calendar with alert reminders is also a very nice feature.I am now entirely happy with the performance and features of this phone.I may never go back to the Motorola.

Excellent Phone,Super Small, no problems at all! Love it!
I have had this phone for at least a year and half, maybe almost 2. I'm surprised to see the lower ratings given by other users. It is SUPER small, which I love. Slips right into your pocket and is very light. The interface is easy to use- big phone book, lots of ring tones, tracks incoming calls, outgoing calls, etc. Text messaging easy to use- predictive T9 text makes it so simple once you figure it out.It doesn't have a camera or someother high tech stuff, but if what you want is a PHONE for making calls and not feeling like you have a rock in your purse or pocket- this lil' phone can't be beat.The battery holds up well, I rarely have a droped call. The external display shows time and incoming phone numbers when the phone rings.Call waiting is great- and there is call waiting ID. My husband got this phone for me and I didn't realize that it is so tiny in comparision to other phones, until I recently started shopping for another phone for my daughter. I think I'm going to go with this one again, as I know it will work well in our area, and the price has come way down from the over $200 that we paid nearly 2 years ago. It has web capability and IMing capability but I've never used it. In summary- I'm looking for another one because we like it so much- I haven't had a single problem with this phone in nearly 2 years!

Mathilda loves it.
I like my phones like I like my super-model walk offs:The first phone walks, the second phone imitates and innovates.Well, Samsung isn't imitating anyone with their innovation.

This phone could have been a great phone but it was a prototype. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. Buy the 650 and choose Verzion. Sprint's a joke. I've tried them three different times and this was my last time.

This review has nothing to do with this phone. I am very unhappy about their service.

If you liked the Samsung A400, you’ll love the A460. With the A460, Samsung has kept all the great attributes of the A400 while adding a few polishes that make the A460 one of the sleekest phones on the market. Like it’s predecessor, it’s packed with easy-to-use features, such as voice-activated calling and one-touch Web access. It also retains the elegant two-tone silver finish. But it’s both lighter and more compact and includes an outside LCD screen, which allows you to see the time, date, and battery life without opening the phone. Read more

• Compact design with slim profile
• Large screen displays up to 8 lines of text, 4 shades of grayscale

Elegant
This phone, despite all its problems, is by far my favorite cell phone ever. No, it doesn't have a camera. Yes, I too had trouble with the screen dying after 2 years (just as I was switching services, fortunately). So I wouldn't go buying one used.
If your display dies...
Very common for the display screens (internal and external) on these phone to die after a year or two. Mine died after 2.5 years...BUT, I went into the LA Sprint Phone Store and they said, "this is a known problem" and replaced it on the spot for free with another one (factory reconditioned) and transferred the phone book entries. I did NOT have an extended contract. Pretty cool.

WARNING
My problems with nextel did not stop when I canceled my service. I will get to the problems with the service. When I went to get a new phone a day before my contract expired, I of course wanted to keep my number. So as I went to get my Cingular phone (highly recommended), I had the old number switched to my new number. Today, I get in the mail my nextel statement for the month with a $200 early termination even though I had not canceled my service, but had simply got a new phone and switched my number over. This was on icing on the cake after 2 years of absolutely amazingy bad service from nextel. In my town, not a small town by any means, there are very few places that have any service. In the largest subdivision, you cannot get service anywhere. I constantly get comments from people trying to reach me that get the classic nextel line...Please hold while the nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is located. Most of the time I would not even recieve incoming calls, calls would go straight to my voice mail. Not only would I not get the calls, but often I would not even get the voice mails until days or even weeks later. When I did actually take calls (and call out), I cannot count the number of times I've had my call dropped. I recieved so many different error messages sometimes I wonder if they just spend all their time at nextel thinking of different error messages to program into their phones. That brings me to the selling point of nextel, the famed and well-loved direct connect feature. This is an absolute joke. Direct connect only works MAYBE half the time I tried to use it. Even then, in the middle of the conversation I would be greeted by the loud beep of my phone telling me I wont be talking to that person anymore. Of course, I would expect nothing less from the nextel network. Text messaging with nextel is next to impossible. If it did not take hours to send or recieve a message, it took days, or maybe didn't even come at all. The internet access was fine, it the rare instance that it worked. Of course, when you don't have service, you don't get the internet access either. I was constantly getting the message "network not available". Calling and trying to complain to nextel is futile. Trying to get through to customer service takes forever and once you get through they do nothing. My experience with nextel has been nothing short of a disaster and I write this trying to warn anyone considering nextel. Stick with Verizon or Cingular and you will be much happier in the end. Don't make the same mistake I did.

i loved this phone
i had this phone for over a year, i loved it best phone i ever had, the only negative thing i can say is that the case is kinda weak and the holster holds the phone backwards so it doesnt break the external caller id if dropped, this means you have to take the phone out of the clip to answer the phone, unless you use speaker phone, id recommend this to anyone that wants nextel, best phone they had

Great color phone for Nextel users
I've been a Nextel customer for years for both business and personal use. I've used almost all lines of phones. The i95cl was my favorite until i830 came along. The i95 is good for casual and especially heavy business users. The color LCD screen is huge compared to i730 and i830. Apparently Nextel had to reduce screen size in order to reduce phone size. That is one thing I miss in i830. I never had a problem with i95 size since it weighs about 5 oz. Great phone and I could not believe Nextel would discontinue it. *Note: I have an extra i95 for sale. It was my personal phone and in very good condition with some scratches. It is fully operational, travel charger and holster, shipping in USA included for flat $120.00. I will accept paypal only.

Worth it!
i had samsung v205 for almost 3 years now and all i can say is it's one of the best phones i have ever had. although there are some darwbacks such as low batt life and sometimes it turns off by itself. Nevertheless, it is the best!i will never regret buying one and im delightful coz it's still working after all the heat, and drop!Viva la V205!

The Durable Camera Phone
I just read two other reviews and realized that my Samsung v205 lasted almost exactly two years also.I must agree that this phone is most definetely durable (at least until the two year mark).I need to be honest in saying that the camera aspect of the phone really never impressed me.Comparing the quality to other camera phones, my phone was generally the worst.In addition, the lens always collected dust and debris that was VERY hard to clean out.Some "close-to-two-years" issues I found were the #7 key losing its sensitivity, the side hinge barrel breaking off (which happened while I was simply talking on the phone), and eventually, the internal wiring of the camera ripping in half to where it became nonfunctional.But for lasting two years (and a couple months), I give this phone my esteem.

Great PDA but not made to last....
I've been through three of them.I'm not particularly hard on my phones and I use very little phone time but this phone always breaks in the same place (which is on the corner of the flip top) and beware, that is not covered under any warranty.I've paid $70 twice for two rebuilt ones and full price for my original.It works well but the design is very poor.Never again do I get a flip top phone or PDA.

Use the Treo600/650 With Sprint $10 Visions access!!

Hinge Jerry-Rigging Suggestion
Don't buy this product.It is absolutely the most frustrating piece of equipment I have ever owned.Like 99% of people who buy this phone my hinges broke.Once SuperGlue stopped working I attemped several different methods of fixing the hinges myself. Currently my 270 is no longer hinged on the top.It now opens out to the right side thanks to a beautifully inexpensive hinge made out of Scotch packing tape.Needless to say it is not functioning as a phone.If you're using yours as a PDA only like I am, then you can try this. I would like to have fixed it the proper way but after reading the experiences that others have had with PalmOne and TMobile, it's not worth it. ... Read more

Of course, I would expect nothing less from the nextel network. Text messaging with nextel is next to impossible.

My tracfone has worked out good so far. Customer service is fine and the free voicemail was easy to set up and use. If you decide to get a tracfone, please email me for a quick referral before activating it- we each will get 120 free minutes from the 'refer a friend' program. I'll also send you the simple instructions to follow. I've used Tracfone for quite a while, so i should be able to answer any questions you might have.

Phone Review
I know people that have had this phone in the Upstate NY area and have had wonderful experiences with this phone and other Moto phones.As for the idiot who had either poor or NO service with Nextel and stayed for 2 years and did not cancel there contract and pay the 200 dollar cancellation fee,I wish I could sell them something. How foolish could someone be,paying for NO SERVICE

WARNING
My problems with nextel did not stop when I canceled my service. I will get to the problems with the service. When I went to get a new phone a day before my contract expired, I of course wanted to keep my number. So as I went to get my Cingular phone (highly recommended), I had the old number switched to my new number. Today, I get in the mail my nextel statement for the month with a $200 early termination even though I had not canceled my service, but had simply got a new phone and switched my number over. This was on icing on the cake after 2 years of absolutely amazingy bad service from nextel. In my town, not a small town by any means, there are very few places that have any service. In the largest subdivision, you cannot get service anywhere. I constantly get comments from people trying to reach me that get the classic nextel line...Please hold while the nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is located. Most of the time I would not even recieve incoming calls, calls would go straight to my voice mail. Not only would I not get the calls, but often I would not even get the voice mails until days or even weeks later.

A good, utilitarian phone...
For those who just want a phone without the hassle of tons of options, it's a good phone.I've had the phone for almost two years, and I've never had a problem with it.It's fairly rugged, dependable, and an ok battery life.

Great Phone
Boasting over 4 hours of available talk time battery life, the i58sr is a favorite.Available in Yellow/Black or Black/Grey two tones, this phone comes equipped with Speakerphone, One Touch Direct, and is GPS enabled. But had ordered it off of Nextels site.They even gave me a code that saved me $50.00.Here it is for you all to share (CL897L) case sensitive.On the shopping cart page.It is like an invoice thing.But I think it is a very good choice.You will enjoy the phone.
