At least in Florida, everybody has em, the network gets over run and it doesnt work a 1/3 of the time, calls get dropped, the signal is poor, and when somebody beeps you in a restraunt half the place reaches down to check their phones.

Now that they have combined with Sprint in a few years Nextel will work everywhere...I think they have something good coming. I used to use Nextel until i went off to college and had to get verizon

I've seen similar issues with other service providers in New York/Newark area. Calls got dropped constantly, it didn't matter if it was Cingular, AT&T or T-Mobile. Seemed like the network was just overloaded.

yes everyone has Nextel phones but that is a good thing. The reason is because if is free to beep them at anytime. Yes the coverage right now sucks but in a year or two Nextel will be unbelieveable. The new phone are 100 times better than the old ones. I have the new i870 and i never drop calls and rarely loose service were old nextel phones normally lose their service.

I never had any problems with my Nextel...As i said the only reason for me getting rid of it was because it didn't work where i go to school

the one positive thing i have to say about nextel well more to motorola really is that i can throw my i530 against a wall and it still works, it is the most durable phoneby far and i would say finally beats out the startac as my favorite. i just wish it had more features
