The Nextel i930, by Motorola, is a high-end smartphone. A 'smartphone' basically combines all the functionality of a cell phone with the added functionality of a hand-held PDA device. This phone, then, becomes all-in-one device that can help users run almost every aspect of their lives.

Smartphones have been taking up an ever-increasing share of the cell phone market, and it is believed that within a short time, they will all but dominate that market. Nextel is poised to take advantage of this burgeoning and lucrative market releasing the i930, a truly superior product. This phone boasts everything that's expected in a Nextel product. One of the main draws, of course, is the Nextel Direct Connect walkie-talkie service, which is featured on every Nextel phone. This service allows users, with one click of a button, to talk to any other Nextel subscriber nationwide. The phone itself has a large, full-color (18-bit, 262,000) interior display, as well as a color external display window.

The Nextel i930 is also GSM-enabled, with full internet, email, and text messaging capabilities. There is also a 300K pixel VGA camera phone. This camera can not only take still photos but can also record video in 10-second clips. Users can store these photos on their phones, upload them to their PCs, or send them as graphical attachments.

The 'smartphone' capabilities are really what take this phone to the next level. It runs on the Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 operating system. Using this OS, Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat PDF documents are viewable right from the phone. In essence, the Nextel i930 is a phone with PDA functions, as opposed to the other way around, meaning that the features don't overwhelm its usability.
