The Motorola i850 takes push-to-talk to a new level.  This phone lets you Push-to-Send a contact or your own info to others so they can get more done. Add in a nice 2.2” color display, a digital camera that takes print-quality pictures, a quality speakerphone and an external display, and you’ve got quite a phone in your hands.

Easy to Use but not a durable phone

Overall Rating:
3.3 out of 5
By: Justin Berzon on Monday, November 27, 2006
From: Cathedral City, CA (United States)
Experience: 7 Months
Pros: The color screen is impressive and the keys are easy to use.

Cons: The exterior of the phone does not hold up to the wear and tear of use. The silver coating rubes of and reveals the black under coat. The nextel direct connect button tends to stick a lot as well.

Summary: The overall phone is average. The camera works well and the keys are easy to use. Problem is the clip tends to rube of the silver coating on the phone and the phone does not save your photos to the sim card.

Pros: Has a lot of functions that we use everyday

Connection

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5
By: Rochelle Warren on Wednesday, August 23, 2006
From: Duncansville, PA (United States)
Experience: 6 Months
Pros: Awesome looks and durability. Very crisp, clear sound and smooth operation.

Cons: I lose signal almost everywhere around my town. I don't like how it drops calls. I also find it hard to get signal in my own home.

Summary: I like the look and over-all operation of this phone. It has some really great features as well and fun games too. But I do not like the reception I get and I think it's from the antenna.
