Battery life sucks, I'm not even thinking about it until they lower the price and make a stronger battery for it..

if sprint is not giving you any problems then i would stay with them. i've been using nextel for a couple of years now and it's been good to me. had pac bell/cingular and it was great until they became cingular. my parents got verizon and seems good. i still got my nextel and got another phone with cingular just for the bluetooth lol. and surprisingly my cingular phone has been consistently giving me 2-3 bars versus my nextel with full bars but sometimes no signal at all. direct connect is cool though IMO. can't wait until they go international. right now they got it from coast to coast and mexico.

if you're going for nextel, wait for the i930. no bluetooth but the phone looks awesome. SD slot, camera, windows based OS - just to name a few. oh and most nextel phones can store 600 contacts if that makes any difference
