Cell Phones : Motorola i560

Great basic phone, you almost can't hurt this think. My phone takes a beating and has never missed a call. Battery life is a little short but nothing you can't live with. Screen is a bit small if you want content on our phone. If you are looking for a basic Nextel you can't go wrong with this phone. Hide Full Review

For a cell phone I'm happy with it. It withstands my abuse and still going strong. I don't care about internet or text messaging...a RIP off feature anyway. But I love the color screen and the feel of it in my hand. I have the YELLOW and BLACK one that so many folks wish for now..and I LOVE it.



Nice to have the GPS feature sometimes too...but not worth paying for!! Hide Full Review

This phone, the i560 has given me problems from the beginning. The battery cover's latch broke when I hadn't had the thing for a month. Not out of taking the cover off a lot, it just broke and now the cover won't stay on. I have also had some problems with nextel's coverage, but even larger problems with the text messaging. Because I like to use txt messages I picked a plan for them, but b/c I picked a plan I have to go out on the net to recieve them. As customer service explained it to me if I did not have a plan for my texts I would be able to get them on my inbox where it would be much more convienent. So now, I never use them even though I pay to use 500+ a month. Customer Service just bounces you around between people, it is a useless endeavour, for your own sake, don't get Nextel.

I have had my Nextel I560 phone for over year now and I have loved it. The screen is really nice since you can see all the features and support on it. The only bad thing about the phone is since it is a Nextel, the battery life should be significantly improved. After 2 days worth of using the phone, it seems as if the phone loses big battery life and really shouldn't because it is top of the line in Nextel products. I had an I205 from Nextel before I got this phone and the battery life seemed to be alot better and the phone didn't have color.



Batteries need to be suficient enough for the phone to work since that is what the phone is running off of. I have heard that if you turn the backlight off of the phone and disable alot of features, you can save the battery life by 2 days, but who wants to really do that since it has a color display and access the web.



All in all, the cell phone is nice to take around to make calls, or do just about anything with. Hide Full Review

This is a really great phone to have. It works really great. I would recamend this phone to anybody as long as it's with Nextel. If you buy a phone with Sprint you better check your plan EVERY DAY! They will screw you. They did me! But i love this phone and Nextel's service. Hide Full Review
