"Overall I have been very happy with this phone. "

The bad: Some times the speaker phone breaks up on me, and the design is a little bulky.

Summary: I looked at this Nextel i605 cell phone in the Nextel store before I bought it and read the review on C-Net first. They hated how close the buttons are and I did too in the store, but now that I have the phone, I have no problems with the buttons at all and I have really fat fingers. Call quality is good using the handset, but the speakerphone breaks up on me. I switched to Nextel, because they are the only carrier that I can get a signal in my home with. I have had Sprint, T-mobile and Verizon. Verizon was the best of those 3, but Nextel seems to be just as good as Verizon so far. I really like the overall design of the Nextel i605 cell phone, although it is a bit bulky, but not as bad as you'd think. I was tired of my flip phones breaking on me. The screens would always start to black out about a year into using them. A lot of friends had this problem also. I also bought this cell phone because it was Bluetooth enabled. I have ordered my headset, so I can't say how well the phone uses it. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I just hope that when Nextel and Sprint merge it does not affect the service, because Sprint was horrible.
