Motorola i576 Review

The i586 by Motorola is smaller than most Nextel phones, though it still offers the no nonsense features and quality that these phones have become known for. The Motorola i576 is designed to be rugged and take a lot of abuse; it comes in black, and features rubber siding, as well as an extendable antenna. Although this Nextel phone is a little smaller than many Nextel models, it is still a phone that has its focus on making calls. This mobile phone measures 4.3 x 1.8 x 1 x and weighs 4.2 ounces and features a small display on the front; the i576 follows military specifications.

With the i576 Motorola you get a phonebook with room for up to 600 contacts, in addition to this, for each contact you can have up to 6 phone numbers, an email address and more. The i576 also comes with several other useful features, including vibrate mode, and text and multimedia messaging; plus there is a calendar, a voice recorder, and a speakerphone. You will also get a notepad, Bluetooth, and of course voice dialing, and call forwarding.

Due to the fact that this is a Nextel phone you will get Direct Connect PTT and Direct Talk. Another great feature you get with the Motorola i576 is NextMail; with this you can send a voice message to anyone who has an email address. For making this phone more personal, you can change the alert sounds, themes and wallpaper. If you don’t like what is already preloaded on the phone you do have the option of downloading more. In addition to these features, you also have support for Java applications, and games.

Some additional features that come with the i576 by Motorola include email, and built in GPS so that you can subscribe to TeleNav 3.8 navigation service. With this you can easily find your way around, no matter where you are.

The call quality that you get with the Motorola i576 is fantastic, just like it is with most Nextel phones; you get a strong signal and the voice quality is loud and clear. According to Motorola, you should be able to get about 5 hours of talk time out of this phone’s battery before you have to recharge.

If you want a rugged phone for outdoor use or for work, the i576 by Motorola is a good choice; you’ll get a durable cell phone that focuses on the features you need most. The only real problem with this phone is that the screen size is a little small, but without all the multimedia options, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
