i had one and kept it for less than a week because it had a problem where it was stuck in data communication all the time and would not take incomming calls or beeps. i also could not figure out how to work the fucker.

edit:

from what i just read you can get it "de-certified" now so that it will allow you to install non-nextel apps.

I'm getting either this or the 870 for christmas

haven't decided yet

12/14/2005 10:23:11 PM

I have had them both and prefer the i870. If you will use the smartphone features the i930 is the way to go, but its too much bullshit to deal with if you wont. The i870 has bluetooth which is so handy for when you are on the phone with someone and they are babbling on and on and you dont feel like holding the phone to your head.
