New Nextell

New nextell hybrid phones are the bomb (IC502). First one ever I owned. The walkie talkie apsect is great. Great reception

I have the i530 as well. Horrible reception. I'll have to check out the new phone.

Dumped Nextel because of the lousy reception. Dropped calls were a daily thing. I kept it because the other contractors were using it and the walkie bit was great, but due to no reception on the regular phone it was worth the aggravation. I now find that most of the companies have switched to verizon.

is it waterproof?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

The new Nextels, ic402 and ic 502 hit all towers not just Nextell/Cingular. They hit verizons and everyone elses also. Thats the deal with them. Reception so far has been awesome.

Just got the 402... best reception I've ever had.
