Nextel offers the unique Direct Connect feature, allowing your phone to act as a walkie-talkie.
Nextel is a subsidiary company of Sprint, but this company also offers their own features. Perhaps the most popular feature of Nextel phones is Direct Connect, allowing your phone to act as a walkie-talkie to other Nextel subscribers. Nextel also produces a line of phones with features ranging from extreme durability to touchscreen phones to advanced PDA technology. Nextel offers a variety of options to meet many different cell phone needs.
Communication Options
All Nextel phones are enabled with the Direct Connect feature, creating a walkie-talkie option between two Nextel phones. This feature is perfect for quick chats when you don't want to have an entire conversation or bother typing in text. Nextel phones like the 1465 and the Blackberry Curve come equipped with full QWERTY keyboards. Sliders like the Motorola Debut also offer a full keyboard for easier texting options.
Entertainment Options
Nextel phones such as the V950, Motorola Brute, Blackberry Curve, i680, i1 and the Motorola i890 come equipped with a music feature so you can play music on your phone. All Nextel phones have the capability to access the Internet, provided you pay for the feature in your plan, though not all come equipped with email access. Most of the phones also come with built-in cameras, except for the rugged models.
Durability Options
Nextel produces a line of "Rugged" phones meant to withstand rigorous lifestyles. Models such as the i335, i465, i365 and i576 are created with a protective plastic coating that can survive accidental drops or mishandling (purposeful mishandling is not recommended). These phones are perfect for on-the-go, busy people who are accident prone when it comes to electronics or people who participate in a lot of rugged outdoor activities, such as mountain climbing or water sports, in which they want to carry their phone with them.
Technical Options
The Blackberry Curve is the ultimate phone for the businessman or work-oriented person. The phone combines PDA features with all the normal phone features for the ultimate communication experience. The Motorola i1 is the only touchscreen currently produced by Nextel. This phone includes all the normal features of a Nextel phone, including Direct Connect, but this phone also comes with higher memory capability and the ease of a touch screen. If you're looking for luxury, this is the phone you'll want to buy.
Navigation Options
All phones come with GPS enabled, ranging from a simple location device for emergencies to an actual, built-in GPS navigation system in the higher-end smart phones.
