The phone comes with 12 monophonic and 3 polyphonic ring tones as well as a vibrate mode, and more can be downloaded from Nextel's Web site. The i730's phone book can hold up to seven phone numbers for each of the 600 contacts-handy, as each Nextel user needs two phone numbers for regular and nationwide (except in Alaska and Montana) PTT calls. We were distracted, however, by the crowded arrangement of the navigation buttons, which makes the phone seem overly complicated.

On the plus side: the slightly convex, recessed numeric buttons are easy to press the dotted, concave 5 key makes it simple to dial by feel and a four-way controller (with an OK button in the center) and two soft keys give one-touch access to user-definable features. We had a mixed impression of the i730's blue-backlit keypad. For instance, by using the Back key to leave a secondary menu, you're out of all menus entirely. While the graphically driven interface is an improvement over those found on previous Nextel models, we still wish it were a bit more refined. The interior seven-line, 65,000-color screen is sufficiently bright and highly readable. The i730's rear speaker is not in the best location. Like most mobiles from the carrier, the i730 has a sturdy feel and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. Although a bit heavy (5.1 ounces with the standard battery) and large (3.6 by 2.0 by 1.1 inches) for a flip phone, it is on a par with the i95cl. Encased in a silver finish with clean lines, the Nextel i730 has a modern look that may appear familiar-it's seen regularly on the television show CSI. At $225, this mobile is somewhat expensive, so convince your employer to flip the bill for this work-oriented model.Įditor's note: We have changed the rating in this review to reflect recent changes in our rating scale. While not the company's first handset with a color screen-that was the i95cl-the Nextel i730 has a streamlined flip design. But as Nextel's Direct Connect Push To Talk (PTT) walkie-talkie service now faces competition from Sprint PCS, Verizon, and Alltel, the carrier is supporting smaller, more stylish Motorola models. It does not store any personal data.Catering to largely business clientele, Nextel's past handset lineup has consisted mostly of bulky candy bar-style phones with monochrome screens and a basic, albeit solid, design.
