Its a descent phone, definitly a good alternative to the 860. Call up nextel and ask them for a 2 year extension to get the phone for $200

^that was probably in the developmental stages. Phone scoop always gets pics of stuff thats not released yet. They might do something like that for Boost.

I have the 860.. I like the phone...The 850 is essentially a cheaper version of the 860, or so it seems.

the 850 is a pretty nice phone. a lot better quality in the build than the 860. major differences are the caller-id screen on the outside. the 850's screen also looks a lot crisper.

i work for nextel as a repair tech and the 860's body cracks a lot.

I loved the I90c..which could be similar to your I95C...it has tremendous reception and has never......

dumped out a call on me unlike Cingular(I jumped from Nextel to get the Black Razr....and .......yes got Cingular)...

How do you live with the I-730..that phone is a piece of junk....

Run as far from the I-730 as you can....anythings better than that phone...especially the I-90C which is old...but has always had better technology than the last few upgrades...

Good luck...

that's your opinion though. You forgot to mention that. My i730 must be a miracle phone cause outside of me dropping it on the ground, it has been great to me.

i've had my i730 for like 2 yrs...i have dropped it numerous times and it still holds like a rock...i love it, but i just got the i860 last week and it makes my i730 look obsolete in every way...its a superior phone in every aspect...and girls just love this phone...just look at the features.

I860 all the way dude!

I just got the 836 on Saturday, seems the battery drains pretty quick.Does the battery life get better after a couple charges? Other than that it is a great phone!
