Sprint/nextel
Bad service

The Nextel/Motorola i580 is complete junk. Sprint/Nextel markets this phone as "Rugged Construction / Military 810F Spec" and "Rain-Resistant." Nothing could be further from the truth.

I have gone through 5 i580 phones, each replaced with a $50.00 fee, one of them for free. Here is how each phone met its demise:

I580 # 1: Screen in front went blank

I580 # 2: Both screens malfunctioned

I580 # 3: Screen in front malfunctioned

I580 # 4: Phone kept calling 911 on its own in a county 1.5 hours away that I have never been to. It would do this even when the phone was powered off.

I580 # 5: Dropped 2 feet and screens broke. It got wet due to rain.

I called Nextel to address the issues and they want me to dump more good money into this POS. I have been a Nextel customer for years and have never had issues until the i580 came into my life.

I can not imagine any military using this. Clearly this phone is cheap junk. I am upset that Nextel will not take care of its long time customers.

Stay away from this phone!!
