Motorola i355 Phone (Nextel)

With a military-grade, ruggedized exterior and support for Nextel's legendary Direct Connect walkie-talkie service, the i355 makes no compromises. If you need a phone that can handle your rough and tumble world while keeping you in touch at all times, this handset is for you. Additional features like a speakerphone, access to mobile web and email services, and voice activated dialing make it a companion you won't be able to live without.

  Design
The i355 is candybar phone on steroids, built extra-tough for construction and utilities industry users. In fact, it conforms to military standard 810F for blowing rain, humidity, and salt fog. That means it's designed to withstand exposure to rain, sleet, and snow. The rubber encasing, interior linings and seals protect the phone's antenna, speakerphone, keys, battery door, and accessory connections against water intrusion.

  The phone sports a large, 128 x 128 TFT color display with a 65,000 colors. The 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. There's also a 2.5-millimeter headset jack for connecting a hands-free headset.

  Calling Features
The i355'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 via download from the Nextel Online service. Voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family and associates as easy as saying their names, while a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Meanwhile, you can access the last 20 sent and received calls for quick call return or number storage via the recent calls list. There's even an "airplane mode" that allows you to turn off network connections while still using programs, games, voice record features, and the datebook. And if you have an emergency, the i355'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 i355 fully supports the service, which allows for one-touch conversations with anyone else on a Nextel phone, or with entire groups of Direct Connect users. It's like a having a CB radio with enough range to cover all of North America, Canada and Latin America. With the i355'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. And last but not least, the i355 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 i355 features MMS-based support for mobile-to-mobile or mobile-to-email text, images and audio messaging. 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 i355, as well. Nextel's optional Nextel Online package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. Nextel Online also features games, ringtones, realtime news and sports updates, virtual address books, and more-- all delivered to your Nextel phone.

  Another Nextel innovation supported by the i355 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 i355 ships with a calendar, as well as a voice recording application and a time and date clock.

  The i355 is packed with a number of Java applications. TeleNav for audible GPS-based driving directions is included, as is Road Pathway for fleet management and tracking (both require a subscription).  Preloaded games include demo versions of Tetris and JAMDAT Bowling. More game downloads are available via the Nextel Online service.

  Vital Statistics
The Motorola i355 weighs 7.02 ounces and measures 5.1 x 2.4 x 1.4 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 270 minutes of digital talk time, and up to 240 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the IDEN 800 frequency. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

All of the latest phone features folks expect are built-in, too, like a handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode and picture caller ID. The capacity of the unit's address book is only limited by the amount of internal and expansion memory available. Headsets, car kits and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth.

The Treo 650 is also a fully functional Palm OS device. That means that a huge library of applications, from spreadsheets to word processors to games, can be added to the Treo 650.

By installing Wireless Sync on your desktop PC -- and as long as your PC is left on and in a condition to receive email -- you'll get new emails, calendar, contact, and task information sent to your mobile device whenever you're out of the office. Wireless Sync uses true IP push, which means that new emails are delivered to your device as soon as they arrive in your PC inbox. Wireless Sync also allows for synchronization with POP3 and IMAP email accounts, in addition to work email from Exchange-based servers.

The Treo 650's built-in camera features a 2x zoom, a flash and a self portrait mirror. While the camera is great for taking stills, it can also function as a camcorder, allowing you to capture MPEG4 video to the unit's memory.
