Nextel I860 Review

[Nextel Mod]

I just got my I860 and I have been using it. This is a really nice phone with alot of new features in it.

Features:
Memory - 25,703kb of Memory compared to the rest of the phones this is alot more memory.

Inside Screen - 256k Colors the screen on the inside is exceptionally nice.

Outer Screen - 4000k Colors its actually the same screen that is on the I285 Boost Phone.

Disco Light - Its back the keypad flashes just like the Limited Edition I90s & I95s but the only downfall is that is only works with the Midi Ring Tones

Java Apps Included - 1ktv, Bass Demo, Demo Boulder Dash, Calculator, Picture Editor, Download Apps, My Location, Pro Rally, Space Invaders Demo, Telenav 3.0, Jamdat Football, Tiger Woods Golf, Phat Cash, New School Skater, Q-Bert, Jamdat Solitare
I used the Tele-Nav and with the Large Color screen its really amazing its alot better than what it was on my I830.
I tried to send a picture with text to another nextel phone and it did not work. I do have packetstream gold I guess we have to wait for MMS Messaging to be enabled before we can use this feature.
