Service may be great, but the price always kills the deal for me.

Umm, isn't UNLIMITED incomming minutes for that a GOOD price?!
Just get pay a little more for more minutes if you need them and make sure to start telling people to call you back...

Yeah--the free incoming minutes is a great deal.

I ended up getting my Nextel from the Amazon deal--just sent in for my rebates. Nextel is great!! The only problem was no coverage in rural Tennessee, but I won't be going back there in the foreseeable future. And I LOVE my Motorola i90 phone--the speaker phone function is awesome--who needs a hands-free kit? :)

Watch out for the steep activation fee if you go through Amazon--I got charged $40!! Those b@stards!

By far the best service I have ever used. I have the i90, which works perfectly. The problem with Nextel is that their phones are a little larger than others, but they are much tougher.

My i1000 flew out the passenger window onto a freeway overpass one day...was going to put it down in the passenger seat, but something happened and it went out the window while I was probably doing 40-50 mph. I found a space in a nearby parking lot, walked up the overpass (good thing there were no cops or state troopers in the area ;) ), and retrieved the phone. It was a little bit scuffed up, but still worked like a champ.
