I get service everywhere, even when I went down to Mexico for a week. The only time i dont get service is when i am working(I do most of my work in boiler rooms and they are surrounded by cement).
well if you dont have problems with service, im sure it would be fine, looks like a cool phone, with nextel though it almost seems that the phone part isnt as payed as much attention as the direct connect(by nextel) thats just me i see them advertizing it as "a walkie talkie, with phone included", you know what i mean?

EXACTLY! when lived in mound, that thing NEVER worked as soon as 12 394 ends the screen changes and says "emergency calls only" idiots!
I HATE that walkytalky crap. I have sprint and I pay 5 buck a month to talk to any sprint phone unlimited. Sprint works in mexico. I used mine in T.J. and a few other places. If you go to LSPR (lake supperior pro rally) no coverage, but I pay the 5 bucks and get ulimited roaming when I know I will not get coverage. Look at the plan prices too maybe for what you want and need nextel is the way to go.... Maybe not. Main thing is look at what they offer you. At any rate if you like that walkytalky stuff, the newer sprint phones can do that stuff too.... FREE, if you have vision. This is the phone I got. you get get it 70-80$ cheeper at costco http://www1.sprintpcs.com/explore/P...USER<>ATR_cartState=group&bmUID=1114698994133
...just a new phone or new phone and service (Nextel)? If you don't already have it, don't get Nextel, it will piss you off. The ONLY reason Nextel is in business is the "push-to-talk" service. Being they were the first to have it, the construction industry picked it up in a HUGE way. About the only ones left using it are the construction companies that already have the infrastructure (a bit of an over-exageration, but only a bit). There will be minimal difference between the other major providers, the real difference in reception is the actual phone.
http://reviews.cnet.com/Nextel_i860/4505-6454_7-31138501.html Yeah but i wouldn't suggest Nextel, I also live in Andover, and Sprint does a fine job with coverage, not only that, but for every 100 minutes extra its only 5 bucks, unlike other providers. just my 2 cents BTW I got my phone through Costco http://reviews.cnet.com/Sanyo_PM-8200/4505-6454_7-30901630.html and it works great, plus you got the costco guarentee they have like 3 or 4 phones to choose from, all from sprint.

its ok. i bought it and gave it to my brother. you can put mp3 ringtones and music videos on there. kinda lag time when your memory is close to being full.
a couple of my buddies have that phone and they seem to like it, i'm not much of a nextel fan so thats about all i can tell ya.
