This is really an underrated phone. 2.2" LCD is really quite pleasing to look at, I've installed Opera Mini for internet browsing and couldn't be more happh (though I wish speed was faster, that's a network limitation and not a fault of the phone). Compared to all the Nextel models I've owned (7) this one really gets great RF reception, possibly the best I've experienced.

No camera on the phone, but not an issue for me as I prefer my digital camera anyway. Battery life is quite long with the included nntn4655 max capacity battery, suffers a bit when using Bluetooth; either way all Nextels should have a charger close by if you're going to use it alot. The keypad is odd at first but you actually grow to like it.

Quite durable and takes a beating, though since its not a flip phone the screen is prone to scratches if you don't protect it in a soft case of some kind. I use a large Nite Ize case and it fits perfectly.

You're not going to win any fashion style points. Your friends and family will openly mock and ridicule that monstrosity you're carrying. But if you want a phone that works hard and is excellent at being a phone first before anything else, you should look no further. Definitely my favorite Nextel phone.
