i90 or i730? Which should I Buy?

Hey Skversky, give me a BREAK! I am just looking for some feedback. One of
my buddies had the i730 and took it back because there was a problem getting
the internet hooked up. The NexTel rep said that there was a problem with
that part of the phone and did not know if it was a software problem or not.

The 730 is full of bugs. It locks up when you dial for several seconds
at a time, doesn't hang up right away, signal stregnth is not as good in
the fringe areas compared to an i90/95. I have tried 3 different 730's
and all of them have had the same issues. I suspect they are software
issues and will be taken care of during subsequent releases. The 730 is
not near as rugged as the i90/95 as well. One drop to the ground and the
case looks like crap.

Good luck,

Timmy

The i730 has tons of problems. Check out www.howardforums.com and you'll see
lots of posts from people less than happy with the i730. I recommend the
i95. It's a quality color phone that's durable and works very well-and
doesn't cost a fortune.

Ditto...I'm sure there will be plenty of local i95 deals with the season too.
