View Full Version : Official Review for Nextel i870 by MikeGabb1
MikeGabb1 10-27-2005, 05:50 PM Just got this shit, Fuckin tight ass phone!
Probably best Nextel phone out now, I mean once tha guy took it out of the box i wanted to grab it right out of his hands. Small + Compact, No chunky like that queer ass i930, Thing I Hated the most was he took tha T9 and inner faceplate stickers off which got me pretty pissed off lol. but anyways heres some pros + cons.
Pros
-Mp3 Player w/ Excellent Sound Quality
-Comes with 32mb TransFlash Card with USB Adapter
-1.3 Megapixel Camera
-DirecTalk
-Bluetooth Technology
-New Theme Added lol
-Audio Player
-New Picture Quality Added (Max)
Cons
-Flip Does not open easy.
-Camera takes 2 seconds to Load up
-My Info/ Other Users Info Doesnt automatically Show up
-Clip Looks like it will scratch the shit out of the phone
-External Screen doesnt have that good of quality, same as 860, I thought it would be better.
Thats pretty much it for now, I mean just got it an hour ago and i still got more to look into ill deff update this thread, Pics will be up soon.

diplomat2387 10-27-2005, 06:23 PM hott phone...
NeXtEli730 10-27-2005, 06:25 PM Damn, thats still a pimp phone. I wanted it, but I just got an ipod. Can you set the mp3's as your ringtones? That would be nice, and I would be suprised if Nextel... I mean Sprint included it... I might sell my ipod for this phone.

Nope, that would be pretty cool tho.

MikeGabb1 11-04-2005, 11:37 PM approximately how many mp3's can the i870 store??

yea, wut do u mean by OLED and bring? lol
xnigelx 11-05-2005, 09:33 AM im going to go ahead and add
pros:
the screen is way more clear
camcorder mode can go over the 15 or 30 sec barrier
the speaker is unbelieveable clear! very good sound
lol new ringtones..not the traditional one anymore
cons:
the bluetooth doesnt support a2dp (for stereo music headsets)
the bluetooth headset wont work with 2-way (you can hear the voice but you cant PTT with the call button)
i paid 272 with 2 year contract and upgrade fees and shipping included
xnigelx 11-05-2005, 09:35 AM the 32mb card that comes with the phone will store 4-6 mp3's i ordered my 512 off ebay for 65 shipped. it should be coming soon, that should hold nearly 100 songs

wrong, tha 32 mb transflash that comes with it holds about 16 songs so far. thats because i formatted mine just about right, u probly have CD Quality Mp3s on there which takes up all tha memory. tha correct format is 40 bit, 24000 hz, Joint Stereo, but lets not forget this is a review thread, if u have any questions for tha i870 post them here (http://69.57.181.162/~nexteln/showthread.php?p=50775#post50775).

23airj 11-07-2005, 02:38 PM will it be cheaper to get the phone through the website or the store? thanks
MikeGabb1 11-07-2005, 02:45 PM will it be cheaper to get the phone through the website or the store? thanks
Please keep those questions aside! i answered it in tha correct thread that u asked it in. :family:
NeXtEli730 11-07-2005, 03:01 PM That's awesome, im actually more interested in this phone than I was any other phone. I love it, one of my friends got it today. I like that the flip button is more concealed then the i860, just everything about it.
MikeGabb1 11-07-2005, 03:23 PM just wanted 2 add a couple things on how good tha zoom in is on this phone..
and how clear pics come out from if u take a pic of a tvshow..
scottjhl 11-07-2005, 04:20 PM Dang, those are some clear pics...A lot better quality than the i860...**Debates on buying it** :drool:
Heh im broke though..Anyone want to donate one to me>?? heh
Sweet phone though
Oh and MikeGabb1 :yourock: :yourock:
23airj 11-09-2005, 02:31 PM should be gettin mines today or tomorrow, cant wait! :drool:
