New Nextel Phones for 2005-2006: i850, i870, i860, i930, i960:

Nextel is known for their "walkie-talkie" technology on their cell phones and in 2005 they merged their business with Sprint Wireless services to create the #3 wireless phone company behind Verizon and Cingular. Nextel has always had different looking cell phones and they have never been afraid to try new things. The Nextel i930 is the newest phone they will be offering in 2006, the camera phone has the Microsoft Smartphone 2003 Operating System and can be used internationally in over 100 countries and will retail for $350. The other newcomer will be the Nextel i960 which is sure to offer the latest in wireless technology.



The current Nextel cell phone models that are popular are the i870, i850, i730, i530, i265, i860, i830. They in price from FREE to $299. We found the tech-saavy i870 to be the best Nextel phone with built in MP3 player, Bluetooth enabled, MMS, Ringtone capable, and a 1.3 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom. The other newer Nextel phone we thought passed the bar was the i730 a stylish and professional appearance packed with GPS applications, color display, assignable ringtones, and web/email compatable.

Nextel Prepaid Phones:

Like other wireless carriers, Nextel has stepped up their offerings with a prepaid phone plan with their newest cell phones like the Nextel BOOST Prepaid Motorola i860 Tattoo Camera Phone. Get the latest cell phones from Nextel with prepaid services (minutes, ringtones, etc). No need to worry abour overage charges since all costs are paid up front. Use your minutes without the worry. Other top Nextel prepaid phones include the Nextel BOOST Prepaid Motorola i830, Boost Mobile i450 Motorola Phone, Nextel Boost Prepaid Motorola i285, and the Boost i730 Prepaid Nextel cell phone.

Where can I get used Nextel phones on sale?:

New Nextel phones are getting cheaper, so looking for a used Nextel phone may not make sense unless you prefer an older model they don't sell anymore. Many new wireless plans from Nextel offer the cell phone for free as part of the agreement. Nextel phones are consistently on sale through their distribution channels, see Amazon for savings on most of the latest models from Nextel. We found the largest selection of Nextel cellular phones at Ebay, Amazon, and Cellphoneshop.net. Choose from a pre-owned i730 ($99) or an i90 for $84. Be sure to check that the used cell phone you choose has all the features and options you need.

Best Nextel Camera Phone:

Camera phones are the most popular type of cell phones as we head into 2006 and Nextel has some of the best on the market. The following Nextel Camera phones are the best we found - i850, i870, i860, and the i930. All cameras take pictures you can share with other cellular phone users or upload them to your computer from the phone. Not all cell phone cameras from Nextel perform that great. Many give blurry images and the overall quality of them is average at best. We don't recommend buying a Nextel camera phone in hopes of taking great pictures. Buy a phone with the best sound quality, ease of use, and reception.

How do I get ringtones on my Nextel phone?

Ringtones are customizable ways to turn your cell phone ringer into something that catches the attention of others around you. They are more of a show-off accessory for younger cell phone users. Who can get the latest ringtones from 50 Cent or Eminem may make you a popular kid in school. Adults haven't caught on to the craze yet, but they are slowly learning how the features of their new cell phones work. You can get ringtones from the main Nextel website or try one of the ringtone services offered by Jamster, DadaMobile, Katazo, and Qtones. Download all the latest songs and ringtones right to your phone for $.99/each or less in some cases.
