New NASCAR Nextel Phones

Hi All,

Has anyone seen any deals on the Nextel NASCAR phones? They are
extremely pricey on nextel.com!

I did see a display at the Schaumburg Nextel Corporate Retail Store.

Here's the catch, though:

If you purchase a limited edition iDEN Phone (Baby Phat, Phat Farm,
Bloomingdale's, or even Nascar), then you can't get your phone serviced by
Nextel whatsoever, even though you have the Nextel Service Plan Insurance.
You will have to ship the defective phone to Motorola if you have any
anomalies, causing you to be Nextel-less for 1-5 days!!!

The Nextel Rep told me to wait until the i830 comes out, and he suggests
that I stick with the "staple" Nextel Phones (i730, i205, etc).

They told me the same thing about the i733 (Phat Farm).
Doesnt seem like a smart investment just to get some cute graphics or a
different case.

That isn't good. Are the NASCAR 'faceplates' available for use with the
i730?

unless you just want a smaller phone I wouldn't buy the i830. the i860 will be better!

Michael...you can't get nascar panels yet...but check out www.hypermods.com they should get them soon!
