Design
The
i930 is no ordinary clamshell. Like other Nextel phones, it's built
tough for construction and utilities industry users. The phone sports a
very large 176 x 220 TFT color display with 65,000 colors. Meanwhile,
the outside cover features a supplementary color display that can show
images, time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more.
A speakerphone unit is located on the rear of the phone, while the trademark Direct Connect and menu scrolling functions can be controlled from the side of the phone. The phone's control pad also features a five-way button that can control most of the phone's functions. A small button on the hinge of the phone's flip mechanism automatically opens the phone for quick access-- a real plus if you have your hands full. A standard headset jack and a USB-compatible data port are also provided.
As mentioned, the i930 sports a slot for an SD memory card so you can store music, games and other files on the removable memory, making it possible to take all the files you need with you.
Calling Features
The
i930 has all the latest calling features folks have come to expect. The
built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to
your ear. Vibrate modes and custom WAV and MP3 ringtones can also be
set to your preferences so you know who is calling without having to
look at the LCD. The included Pocket Outlook software features a
contacts list that is cleverly integrated with the phone's dialing
functions. The i870's GPS location technology pinpoints your exact
location when you dial 911.
One of the key features of any Nextel phone is support for Nextel's Direct Connect walkie-talkie technology. The i930 fully supports the service, which allows for one-touch conversations with anyone else on a Nextel phone. It's like a having a CB radio with enough range to cover all of North America. The i930 also features a walkie-talkie private speaker button. This switches from the external speaker to the earpiece for private conversations or to minimize disruptions in quiet environments.
With the i930, Nextel has thought of those who travel frequently. Thanks to an integrated GSM radio, you can use the phone on international GSM networks with an optional Nextel Worldwide service plan. GSM-based data services can also be accessed when you travel in parts of North and South America, Europe, and Asia.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
Designed
as a complete solution for people who want to bring their office with
them, the i930 comes packed with pocket versions of Outlook, Internet
Explorer and MSN Messenger. In addition to keeping track of contacts,
Pocket Outlook features integrated calendar and email functions. Email
support is provided for IMAP and POP3 accounts, as well as corporate
accounts. Microsoft's ActiveSync software keeps the device synced with
all of your PC's Outlook information (via USB or infrared connection).
Plus, with a Nextel Data Unlimited pack, you can get unlimited data
transfers from the Nextel network -- great for those times when you
want to connect your laptop or PDA to your i930 and surf the Web or
check your email.
You can use the i930's built in Internet Explorer browser for downloads and mobile web browsing. Nextel's optional data packages allow you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. The service also features games, ringtones, realtime news and sports updates, virtual address books, and more-- all delivered to your Nextel phone. Traditional text messaging, as well as MMS-based video, picture and sound messaging are also supported by the phone. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the i930 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, a to-do list, and an alarm clock.
Imaging and Entertainment
The
inclusion of Windows Media Player on the i930 means that you can use
the handset as an MP3 and video player, as well. The amount of music
and video you can store is only limited by the memory available on the
SD expansion card.
The phone is also compatible with a number of Java applications available from Nextel. Choose TeleNav for GPS-based audible driving directions or Mobile Locator for finding the location of a friend or loved-one's phone (both require a subscription). You can also take a break or organize your schedule with some included games and applications. More Windows Mobile game and application downloads are available from Nextel.
