Nextel : good or bad?

[Anahi D]

I'm with you on the durable phones. We use the 530s at work for our courier service and they are solid as a rock. That's why the 580 really appeals to me, and I'm not really into the trendy, bling phones. I've dropped my phone enough times, and it seems every time I do, it stays mad at me a little longer than the time before.

I like the fact that they put the speakers in the front part of the phone again, instead of the back like they have been doing.

Yeah i finally busted my i830 so right now im using a 530 been a long time since i've carried one feels alot different.

How long did you have your i830 before you "busted" it? Just curious about how you damaged it and what exactly was damaged.

I had it for about two years. I finally drop it to many times i guess. It just shows a blank screen and nothing works.

Funny you should ask about a broken phone. I dropped my work 530 on my desk (squarely right where the rubber flap goes over the charging port) and now for some reason it won't power back on.

I tried taking out the battery but couldn't get it out. I'm going to have it looked at tomorrow. Anyone got any ideas what it could be? It didn't fall far but it was 'dbo' that part of the phone.

sounds like you jamed the batt. take the back off see if you can pry the batt. out with something then make sure the contacts are ok. Ive had the same thing happen to a couple of 530s.

Who's the man? Joethetowman, that's who!! I got the battery out, it's sort of spring loaded and you just have to really push it forward towards the arrow at the top.

I checked the contacts, cleaned everything up and BLAMMO, it's all good!

Thanks man...back to iDEN, right Diehard?
