I have had this phone for a couple of years and despite the abuse I put it through it works wonderfully...I have dropped it on the cement at work maybe ten times or more, it has a few dnets but continues to work like the day I got it. I have gotten it wet, dried it out and turned it on more than once,...

It's an average phone, but it's durable

OCT

2007

I've been a techno-geek my whole life but always avoided getting a cell phone. Then I was hired by a big cell phone company (Nextel), which soon merged with a bigger cell phone company (Sprint) to form an even bigger cell phone company (Sprint Nextel). Part of the standard kit of tools I was given upon...

good phone, had 4 years and son had 3 years before i got it

AUG

The i730 is a great phone. My son had it for almost 3 years before he upgraded and gave his i730 to me. I hav had it for almost 5 years and it still works fine and looks good. It has also been dropped on very hard surfaces and still no problem. My son just upgraded all phones to camera phones (we have 5 on our plan) plus many options. I have a new grandson so this is great, also started doing text messaging, he got me the Motorola razor.

Terrible Signal

The Motorola i730's are nice phones with a vibrant color screen and download capabilities. over all I was happy with the usability. the menu is very user friendly and easy to read. I did like that the 'OK' button is in the middle of the navigation button, it's a bit easier to use than some of the other iden phones Sprint/Nextel has to offer. The i730 is very strong and durable. I dropped mine numerous times and it kept right on ticking. The only complaint I have is the poor reception. The way the GPS and cell antenna's are set up in the phone make it hard for alot of people to get reception in...

I730 Nextel Phone I loved this phone

Every day computer user, somewhat tech savvy

APR

2009

I Loved this phone when I had it. I owned it for 3 years and was still working perfect, until I decided to upgrade to the hybrid phone. I gave it to my mother, and was still working for her when she upgraded over a year later. This was my first flip nextel phone. The phone sounded great, speaker clear, voice calls clear. The screen was small compared to the phone I have now, and the phone is alot more bulky, but that is what most nextel phones were at that time. The only thing is it didn't have a camera, in which wasn't important to me at the time, but Is a plus for me now. And also...

I've had this particular phone for almost 3 years. It's clipped to my waist several hours a day. It gets dropped, particularly from my truck as I crawl in and out of it. It's been kicked, dropped, stepped on, etc. Still working, showing some wear, but still working.

Decent phone but Nextel service is poor in my area

The phone is rugged and has lasted for over two years but the Nextel service is poor in my area. I live less than two miles from a major city and cannot get service at home.

The phone is a little too big for a pocket

Although the i 730 is very durable, I have noticed it has a hard time keeping up a good signal. It's silver appearance is not very desirable.

This phone is big but works great. I used it with Nextel and had the best quality of sound I have every had in a phone or service provider.
