This may be a general nextel service question, but since I have the i836, I posted here. I setup alerts on mynextel and have the mobile email data plan. My phone does not always get the alert for the emails. Also when I open an alert on my phone, I am not able to look at the email itself. Is there anyway that I am able to look at the body of an email and be able to reply to it.
 
sounds like you subscribed for (or have it included in your plan) mobile email. If so you can access it from the net mode of the phone. You can create, read, reply, and delete emails. Also if you have dsl or cable and use outlook at home you can access all outlooks features with desktop assistant.
 
The i833/i836 should be somewhere in between the i860 and the i830 for reception... even though the design is based on the i830 (and its nice and small like the i830 :)) they supposedly tweeked it a bit and picks up signal a little better than i830.

i833 vs i836 there's hardly any differences but I'm guessing asside from the "pinninfarina" markings, the i836 probably doesn't have the nice ferrari startup and shut-down animations (one of them is an RPM gauge, I can't remember what the other is). Either way, I'm sure you can probably find a way to copy the i833 animations over to an i836 if you really care enough!

This is VERY bad news. I've had the 830 for less than a year and I need a new phone because this one sucks SOOO bad. My sons cheap little 530 gets 3 or 4 bars when I'm showing "no service". The phone doesn't just drop calls, it completely shuts OFF while I'm talking. It's a piece of crap and I guess I need to steer clear of any phone that starts with 8.
I've always had people tell me that the cheaper the phone, the better it actually works. I'm starting to believe it.
 
You must have had a bad phone. I've had an 836 since the day it was released and have had absolutely no problems with it, and have gotten better service than ever before. It works as well as my friends 870.
