Tough and Rugged, a Nextel Cell Phone Can Take Abuse and Still Function Just Fine

While most cell phone companies are working on making phones smaller, lighter and more portable, they end up sacrificing all of the strength and durability of the phone in order to achieve their design goals. Cell phone makers who design phones for Nextel, however, focus more on creating a phone that is rugged, rubberized and built like a tank than an ultraportable model that can be slipped into the back pocket on a pair of skin tight jeans. This defining characteristic of the Nextel cell phone really sets it apart from the rest of the competition, and if you want a phone that can handle all sorts of abuse as well as a Hummer, than a Nextel cell phone is definitely for you.

As with all other wireless phone companies, the Nextel cell phone is available in a huge variety of shapes, sizes and prices. Currently, their most expensive offering is the Motorola crafted i930. This phone features the flip open clamshell style design common to most modern day phones and offers all of the features you would expect a Nextel cell phone to have – walkie-talkie, GPS functionality and a practically bulletproof outer shell. Unlike many other modern phones, this one features an operating system designed by Microsoft so you can use it like a miniature computer and a combination still and video camera.

If you are looking for something a bit cheaper, you may want to check out the latest free Nextel cell phone. Although the bargain priced Motorola i265 looks like it was designed back in the late nineties, it packs a surprising number of features for its minimalist price tag. As with all other Nextel cell phones, the i265 has walkie-talkie mode and a built in GPS system so you never get lost. And while it lacks the camera and plethora of features available on the Microsoft based i930, it has basic things such as a full color display panel and voice activated dialing which makes the phone easy to use for just about everyone.
