Make sure that if you have a Nextel Phone and you want to upgrade it, do not get the Motorola i850.
For a couple of dollars more, jump to the next category and get the i880 or the i930.
The i850 does not have Bluetooth capabilities, thus making the computer links very difficult.
The rest of the phone is just like a regular Nextel phone, it has agenda and a few applications that are nice to have, like camera, agenda and some Java applications, but like I said, for a few bucks you can get Bluetooth and MP3 players included.
On top of this, the i850 has the worst reception I have seen on a Nextel phone.
We own 8 different phones in our store and while standing one next to the other, the i850 has only one stripe of reception while the others have full bars.
The not so fun part is that we got the i850 on a "great" deal thinking it was the best phone available for our plan.
AVOID! Get a blackberry 7100i!! They can be found at ebay at $60 plus shipping!
