The screen is very bright and the wallpapers show up bright and colorful. I love that the phone is black with blue stipes too. The camera is also not half bad for a Nextel, it took descent pictures when I had it. I loved the quick flip application, that was very convienient. I also liked that it was kind of on the thinner side compared to some other Nextel phones. The signal quality was very good as well and the speaker was very loud. The bad thing was just that Nextel's network is not the best and I would continually drop calls over and over and over again no matter where I would go. Otherwise, the phone itself was great. Overall, this was one of Nextel's better phones.<br /><br />PROS:<br />1) Bright Screen<br />2) Good looking<br />3) Camera is desent<br />4) Quick Flip<br />5) Great Signal Quality<br />6) Loud Speakers<br /><br />CONS:<br />1) Comes with Nextel's "Frequently Dropped Call Network"</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=559 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=22232#review22232 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=22232#review22232 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 16:36:19 GMT <p><i>Silenceinfullcolor submitted this review of the Motorola i860:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This was my second Nextel phone.

I've put some miles on it so I figure that might have something to do with the recent issues I've had (randomly freezing). Still not a bad Nextel phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=559 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=20513#review20513 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=20513#review20513 Thu, 14 Dec 2006 02:09:54 GMT <p><i>dedwards87 submitted this review of the Motorola i860:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is an absolute waste of my time and money. I had previously been an At&amp;t and verizon customer before I decided to make the switch to Nextel. In the beginning I was very excited about the push to talk feature. But the excitement soon faded. The phone is very cheaply made and the top half began to crack around the ear piece within a few months. Other small complaints are the poor camera quality, and messaging features. When you recieve a voicemail, the system does not give you envelope information, so you are left unaware of when your missed calls were actually recieved. I'm not sure if this is due to the phone, or the actual Nextel service, but it is a problem nonetheless.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=559 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=19023#review19023 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=19023#review19023 Sat, 30 Sep 2006 02:58:45 GMT <p><i>nickyboo106 submitted this review of the Motorola i860:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and currently Nextel and this is easily my favorite phone I have ever had. It's durable and has a great look. Also has a very big screen and if you adjust the camera to the settings the person below said, the camera will be perfect. This is my favorite phone I have ever had and the only reason I am getting rid of it is because I can't stand Nextel's text messaging!

Nextel service is no better. I continually have Low to no signal, calls and direct-connect connections are dropped. <br /><br />I am stuck with this service for 2 years unless you pay the early termination fee. Phone freezes up and the only thing you can do is take the battery out of the phone. Nextel Customer Service is awful and will not offer any solutions or help.<br /><br />I went to a phone swap store and they wanted to give me a refurbished phone not new. I did not pay for a refurbished phone.<br /><br />I was told by a service technician in one of the stores that this phone was discontinued back in October 2005 because it was such a bad phone. But the phone is still on the Nextel website.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=559 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=16965#review16965 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=16965#review16965 Thu, 08 Jun 2006 02:35:16 GMT <p><i>SuperHumanly submitted this review of the Motorola i860:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Before i had this phone, I had the i835.

Very nice look - didn't work anywhere. This one I got used because the guy before me didn't want to get it fixed againso just upgraded. The cellular service is better than the i836 but it drops calls and diect connects all the time. The amount of time it rings is either way too long or way to short, no in between. I find that flip button totally annoying - why can't it just flip open and shut like other phones? I never would have gotten Nextel if Sprint could get their act together. I was happy with Sprint phones and service for years. My husband's company uses Nextel and he was spending way too much calling me. I asked Sprint and Nextel both in July when my contract was running out if they planned on having mobile to mobile free calling between the two anytime soon. Answer was no so I switched. In august they introduced the plan they said wasn't happening. So now I'm stuck with Nextel for two years - counting the months. My huisband loves Nexytel but he doesn't mind lugging around a huge brick of a phone. Apparently those big contractor/government service type phones work great.<br />Pro's: <br />camera and video not that bad for a phone<br />fairy good reception<br />Nice screen with excellent color <br />Con's:<br />Nextel service<br />Dropped calls/ direct connect<br />Java and Data features stop working<br />That annoying button to open</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=559 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=14133#review14133 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=14133#review14133 Wed, 28 Dec 2005 16:31:23 GMT <p><i>Philly7Sixer submitted this review of the Motorola i860:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I like the phone alot very easy to use. Good service drops calls from time to time but not frequent enough to make a difference. Good camera if you know how to use it and clean it. the only thing i would change is the battery life like all nextels it doesn't have a very long battery life. Another con is the nuckle or button you press to open the screen, mine stopped working and my phone wouldn't shut, i went online and found a tutorial to fix it and it worked fine after that. Great Phone 4.5 i recommend it to anyone thinking of buying it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=559 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=14033#review14033 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=14033#review14033 Sat, 24 Dec 2005 05:08:15 GMT <p><i>jmelinger submitted this review of the Motorola i860:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>At first I thought this was a great phone.

It is a little louder then most motorola phones. It is pretty thick but the button on the side to flip up the screen is a cool fun gadget added on to the i860. It is cool and the design is okay. Not bad at all nothing expected like this from motorola. This the only good phone ever created by motorola. If they can add a couple of more features and maybe upgrade some that are already there and made it slim as a razr but more reliable and durable which picks up good reception that would be the ulimate motorola phone of all. The i860 is a little more upgraded then most motorola phones but could still use some work still to make it better.The camera is better then most of motorola's phones.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=559 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=11805#review11805 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=11805#review11805 Fri, 09 Sep 2005 05:16:02 GMT <p><i>NEXTELROX123 submitted this review of the Motorola i860:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>for all of you who thinks that the camera on the i860 sucks..you just have to know the right settings...open the camera... click menu > Camera Setup > and make the Default size XLarge..and Change quality to Fine instead of Normal.. exit the camera and go back..take a second to wipe all the dust on your camera lens with a qtip and a little bit of water.. and i am sure your pics will be crystal digital clear..mine are...this really is a good phone and its so easy to use...and better reception than any other nextel ive had in the past.this phone has a lot of great features and tools..most people say its a bad phone because they are clueless on how to do some of the stuff...i rate this phone a 5 out of 5 and reccommend it to anyone that has nextel.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=559 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=11709#review11709 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=559&r=11709#review11709 Sun, 04 Sep 2005 07:08:47 GMT <p><i>Mugen1248 submitted this review of the Motorola i860:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Anyone planning on selling thiers???
