Motorola i580 Cell Phone

Pros: good features, nice display, good sound

Cons: not durable

Summary: This phone is billed as a rugged phone but is not truly a rugged phone. I have owned this phone for about nine months and have already sent it back to Motorola two times because of the external display not functioning properly (not displaying at all). I do not treat this phone ruggedly although it is billed as a rugged phone. I carry this phone in a leather holster attached to my belt and in no way bang, drop, step on, or abuse this phone in any way at all. Overall, I have had phones not billed as rugged phones be more durable than this phone.

Pros: What I like about the i580 is the rugged feel and sturdiness. (Not everyone sits in an office all day and can carry a little skinny phone.) When I am not at work I really enjoy the camera and video capture features, as well as being able to view them on a nice clear screen.

Cons: I miss not having the calculator. It was time consuming transferring my contacts.

Summary: Overall I really enjoy the i580. New bluetooth devices with Nextel are not as common as they are with other providers, so I was glad to finally get a nice flip with Bluetooth.
