On the plus side, the Motorola i870 (Nextel/BoostMobile only) has superior sensitivity to some other iDen phones (my GF's i855e lost carrier in the Hollywood Hills while mine was still connected). Bluetooth connections are easy and sound great (the auto-answer function in my headset works with the phone and voice-dialing is reliable). The phone is solid with easy-to-use buttons and a clear, good-sized display, but still fits in my pants pocket. I added a Gigabyte of storage for multimedia (MP3s as well as pictures and video I have taken) for $12. On the minus side, when the phone is connected to my computer's USB port, the extra memory is not available (I have to remove the memory card, put it in an adapter, then insert it into a card reader to transfer files). It is possible to transfer files via Bluetooth to other devices, but only one at a time. Voice dialing is tied to the SIM card, which has three drawbacks (the number of voice dials is limited by the SIM card's memory, each voice dial command is limited to 2 seconds and all voice dial presets are lost when you remove the SIM card). The camera is better than most cell phones, but nowhere near as good as my digital camera. You can make presets to quickly get to most camera functions with a single button press, but video recording is not one of those functions, so you have to familiarize yourself with the menu sequence if you have a Michael Richards moment. Battery life is not as good as my previous phone (i730), possibly because the display is bigger and brighter, but probably because I usually have Bluetooth on when I use the phone. A more powerful battery with an extended cover can be had for around $30, last I checked. I like the phone. It is not perfect, but meets my needs and most of my wants.Read full review
I've had this phone now for a few weeks and I was warned about it having glitches in the phone from previous Motorola i870 owners. Well I can report that it does have a few minor baby glitches in it BUT thats not saying its not a good phone. I've actually washed (In the Laundry Full Circle in the Washer) this phone by accident and it still powered back on after I dried it out. The phones battery life like all Nextels (its seems) is not very long for the moderate to heavy users. The glitches include: The Memory Card when you upgrade sometimes doesn't register with the phone right away and can take up to 30 minutes to be fully read, the battery lasts about a day during normal use and about half a day if I get busy. The nextel service in Maryland isn't alway's the greatest but this phone is still good on the signal strength. Here's the pro's. I've dropped it a few times and very little scratching occured. I like the metal backing too. The phone is much lighter then the previous "Motorola i8" series phones. The MP3 player works perfectly (after the memory card is fully read). The picture phone is great to but I would like to be able to store longer video then 30 seconds though. But other then the con's I've given you the phone is a great item to have. So thats why I've labeled it i870 good even with gliches.Read full review
I wanted this phone as a gift for my girlfriend and at the same time I wanted one for myself because I thought the whole mp3 thing would be cool and it's supposed to be the step up from the I860 that I already have. Well the mp3 thing is a waste of time and money. The phone can only play files that are less than 192k bitrate, and for those of you who download music, most of my collection of downloaded songs is a higher bitrate, only my uploaded songs are 128k. On top of that there is an issue where the phone can only recognize files with name lengths of less than 32 characters. Which makes this thing usesless unless you spend all day renaming your files that you put on the memory card. Also, it only comes with a card reader and a 32mb card. You can fit maybe 10 songs on that if you are lucky so you have to shell out more cash outta pocked to buy a larger memory card. I cant believe it doesnt come with a Nextel Data Cable, but then what else could they break it off in you for? In general, Nextel has some of the most useless and overpriced phones on the market. This one is a definite waste. The only good things are that you can record 30 second video clips, the camera is a higher resolution than the 860, and the brighter, bigger, more colorful screen for the phone is cool. Other than that its not worth your money, and neither are the 920 or 930.Read full review
What isn't to love about the Nextel I870?? With the big display screen on the front to the big display screen on the inside, everything is great on this phone.I love the mp3 player on the phone. With the purchase of a memory card you can download all your favorite music off of your computer and transfer them to your phone. Who can forget about the quick-flipbutton also. With just a push of one button, the phone flips open automatically. Cool!!!! The phone has a great camera on it. It even has a spot light for those darker rooms or nighttime. Of course, one of the newer features this phone has is that it's bluetooth compatible. I personally have not used the bluetooth headpiece yet or the bluetooth technology, but do plan to. The speakers work excellent and so does the dc chirp speaker.Read full review
The Motorola i870 is the Rolls Royce of Nextel phones. It has everything you need and then some. I've ordered every new Nextel phone that came out and kept changing phones every 6 months. I've had this phone for about a year and half and I love it. This is the only nice looking phone with Bluetooth that Nextel offers. This is the only phone that has a built-in MP3 player that Nextel offers. The huge color screen is very nice with very vibrant colors. The camera on this phone is excellent for a mobile phone. It also has a memory card slot for added memory. One thing I love about this phone is its Video Camera. Most phones have a limited Video camera time. This phone comes standard with a 30 second Video recorder, but if you change the cameras storage device from your phone to the memory card, you can record videos until your memory card is full. I have a 1GB card in my phone and recorded a video 20 minutes long and still have room for plenty more. I've dropped my phone many times and absolutely nothing happend to it except for some cosmetic scratches. Its an awesome phone.Read full review
