Motorola i58sry Yellow Phone (Nextel)

This rugged phone is designed to go where you go and keep you in touch through thick and thin. Featuring mobile messaging, wireless Web capabilities, and an internal GPS position locater, the Motorola i58sr is an excellent choice for both business and personal use. 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. And with a wrap-around rubber bumper, it's the perfect rugged companion to a rough and tumble day.

Design
Like other Nextel phones, the i58sr is built tough for construction and utilities industry users, or for anyone who needs a rugged wireless phone. The i58sr's candybar design features a black and white, backlit LCD that displays time, call information, battery and signal strength, emails, address book entries, wireless web content and more. The trademark Direct Connect and menu scrolling functions can be controlled from the side of the phone. A standard 2.5mm headset jack is also provided, and a multi-directional selection button controls most of the phone's user-friendly menus and options.

Calling Features
The i58sr's built-in address book can store up to 250 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. A vibrating alert can be set when you want to receive calls and messages in quiet or very loud situations. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. The phone supports up to 20 voice dialing contacts. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear and a three-way calling feature lets you combine two ongoing phone calls into one conversation.

One of the key features of any Nextel phone is support for Nextel's Direct Connect walkie-talkie technology. The i58sr fully supports the service, which allows for one-touch conversations with anyone else on a Nextel phone. It's like having a CB radio with enough range to cover all of North America.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The i58sr features support for two-way mobile-to-mobile or mobile-to-email text messaging (Nextel messaging charges apply). 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 i58sr, as well. Nextel's optional Nextel Online package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. Nextel Online also features games, realtime news and sports updates, virtual address books, and more-- all delivered to your Nextel phone.

The i58sr ships with a calendar application that lets you book meetings, plan events, and set alarms that will automatically turn on the phone if needed. There's also a voice recording application that lets you record up to three minutes of audio. A time and date clock are included, as is a GPS location function that can pinpoint your location via latitude and longitude.

Entertainment
The phone runs Java-powered applications and games, both of which can be downloaded from the Nextel Online service.

1 Great Phone
Boasting over 4 hours of available talk time battery life, the i58sr is a favorite. Available in Yellow/Black or Black/Grey two tones, this phone comes equipped with Speakerphone, One Touch Direct, and is GPS enabled. But had ordered it off of Nextels site. They even gave me a code that saved me $50.00. Here it is for you all to share (CL897L) case sensitive. On the shopping cart page. It is like an invoice thing. But I think it is a very good choice. You will enjoy the phone.
