Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With email and MMS messaging support, as well as support for Nextel's wireless web services, the i265 is the perfect companion. And of course, it supports Nextel's legendary Direct Connect walkie-talkie functions so you can connect with people in your work and personal network at the push of a button. This value oriented phone is great for people who want phone and messaging features, the power of walkie-talkie functions, and the convenience of wireless Internet services.

Design
Like other Nextel phones, the i265 is built tough for construction and utilities industry users, or for anyone who needs a rugged wireless phone. The i265's candybar design features a brilliant 1.5-inch, 65,000-color LCD that displays time, call information, battery and signal strength, emails, address book entries, wireless web content and more. Direct Connect and menu scrolling functions can be controlled from the side of the phone, and a standard 2.5mm headset jack is also provided.

Calling Features
The i265's built-in address book can store multiple entries per contact for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. Meanwhile, a recent calls list allows you to access recent sent and received calls for quick call return or number storage. You can also use the phone's enhanced voice dialing function to speak numbers to the phone for handsfree calling. Finally, the phone comes with built-in ringtones plus a vibrating alert, and more ringtones can be downloaded from Nextel's optional wireless download service, Nextel Online. You can also assign your ringtones to specific callers so you can know who's calling without looking at the handset.

One of the key features of any Nextel phone is support for Nextel's Direct Connect walkie-talkie technology. The i265 fully supports the service, which allows for one-touch conversations with anyone else on a Nextel phone. It's like a having a CB radio with enough range to cover all of North America. The i265 also features a walkie-talkie private speaker button. This switches from the external speaker to the earpiece for private conversations or to minimize disruptions in quiet environments.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The i265 supports two-way multimedia messaging (Nextel messaging charges apply). Use this feature to quickly and easily send text, images and audio to your friends and colleagues. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the i265, as well. Nextel's optional Nextel Online package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages, download applications and view your favorite web content on your phone. Nextel Online also features games, ringtones, realtime news and sports updates, virtual address books, and more -- all delivered to your Nextel phone.

In addition to standard tools like a calculator, a voice memo recorder and an integrated datebook, the i265 boasts powerful GPS location and navigation features. Use location-based safety services like Nextel's Mobile Locator to locate a friend or family member's phone location at anytime, right from your computer. Or, if you need to make a 911 emergency call, the GPS feature helps emergency personnel locate you (subject to service availability).

Entertainment
The i265 was designed with mobile gamers in mind. Two games, Tetris and Bowling, are included and you can download more games from the Nextel Online service.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola i265 weighs 4.59 ounces and measures 1.96 x 1.10 x 2.04 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 2.75 hours of digital talk time, and up to 75 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the IDEN 800 frequency. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

I have been with nextel for nearly a year now I started out this time last year with the Motorola i205 and just upgraded to the i265 it is one of the best phones I have ever had the service is the best I have ever had I have no problems making or reciving calls. If you are considering nextel give it a shot they are in my opinion the best cell company out there.
