Reviews of the Motorola i930 (Sprint)

    CNET Review

    December 15, 2005

    The Good: The Nextel i930 by Motorola syncs seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook and supports iDEN and GSM networks for world roaming. The smart phone has excellent call quality, a speakerphone, and an SD expansion slot, plus it automatically obtains POP3 and IMAP4 e-mail accounts over the Internet.

    The Bad: The Nextel i930 by Motorola uses the older Windows Mobile 2003 OS rather than Windows Mobile 5, and it lacks Bluetooth. It's also big and heavy, and it has weak battery performance.

    The Bottom Line: The Nextel i930 by Motorola is a good choice for executives looking for a world phone that syncs seamlessly with Outlook--if you can live with the poor battery performance and the lack of Bluetooth.
