Product Description
Here's a phone from Nextel and Motorola that does everything you expect from a flagship mobile phone. With Bluetooth, a megapixel camera, a music player, a microSD memory card slot, and a whole lot more, the i870 has all the trademark Nextel durability, but adds key refinements that make this a truly advanced phone.
Design
The i870 is no ordinary clamshell. Like other Nextel phones, it's built tough for construction and utilities industry users. The phone sports a very large 176 x 220 TFT color display with a stunning 262,000 colors. Meanwhile, the outside cover features a supplementary color display that can display images, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. The built-in camera and LED flash are located above this display, while media control keys for the built-in MP3 player are arranged below the display.
A speakerphone unit is located on the rear of the phone, while the trademark Direct Connect and menu scrolling functions can be controlled from the side of the phone. The phone's control pad also features a five-way button that can control most of the phone's functions. A small button on the hinge of the phone's flip mechanism automatically opens the phone for quick access-- a real plus if you have your hands full. A standard headset jack is also provided. As mentioned, the i870 sports a slot for a microSD memory card. The card lets you store songs, video, and pictures, and you can easily transfer them to and from your PC with an included SD adapter and USB adapter. A 32MB card is included with the phone.
Calling Features
The i870's built-in address book can store up to 600 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and email addresses. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert. More polyphonic ringtones can be added, as can MP3-based ringtones. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names. You can also speak numbers and control other phone features with the sound of your voice. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear and because the i870 is Bluetooth enabled, you can use it with a wide assortment of Bluetooth headsets for hands-free conversations. The i870's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact location when you dial 911.
One of the key features of any Nextel phone is support for Nextel's Direct Connect walkie-talkie technology. The i870 fully supports the service, which allows for one-touch conversations with anyone else on a Nextel phone. It's like a having a CB radio with enough range to cover all of North America.
With the i870's powerful Direct Talk function you can also communicate in walkie-talkie mode when you're not even connected to the network. The system works anywhere, anytime between compatible phones within a range of up to 6 miles (range will vary based on terrain and conditions). Direct Talk provides a reliable back-up communications tool in times of emergency, network outage, or when traveling to remote areas not under Nextel coverage such as hiking, cruise vacations or inside buildings.
The i870 also features a walkie-talkie private speaker button. This switches from the external speaker to the earpiece for private conversations or to minimize disruptions in quiet environments.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The i870 features MMS-based support for mobile-to-mobile or mobile-to-email text and photo messaging. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. 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 i870, as well. Nextel's optional data packages allow you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. The service also features games, ringtones, realtime news and sports updates, virtual address books, and more-- all delivered to your Nextel phone. With a Nextel Data Unlimited pack, you can get unlimited data transfers from the Nextel network -- great for those times when you want to connect your laptop or PDA to your i870 via Bluetooth and surf the Web or check your email.
Another Nextel innovation supported by the i870 is Nextel Direct Send. Simply push a button and instantly send all your contact info to another Nextel phone. It's an easy way to get people into your contact list fast.
The i870 ships with a calendar and a voice recorder. A time and date clock are also included.
Imaging and Entertainment
The i870's 1.3 megapixel camera features a 4x digital zoom and a built-in flash that makes it easier to get quality shots in low-light situations. The i870 can also capture video clips -- capture length is only limited by the amount of available memory on the memory card. The phone's Media Center application and large internal memory allows you to store hundreds of photos in a variety of file types.
Need some music on the go? The i870's got you covered. A built-in MP3 player lets you listen to tunes on your memory card wherever you please using the speakerphone, or via a pair of stereo headphones (sold separately). Use the included Roxio PC software to create and transfer your MP3 files to the phone.
The i870 is compatible with a number of Java applications available from Nextel. Choose TeleNav for GPS-based audible driving directions or Mobile Locator for finding the location of a friend or loved-one's phone (both require a subscription). You can also take a break or organize your schedule with some included games and applications. More game and application downloads are available from Nextel.
