Like most Nextel flip phones, the Motorola Nextel i670 Phone is relatively large at 3.5 x 2 x 10 inches and 4.1 ounces. Granted, that is an improvement over a number of the carrier's previous behemoths but it still makes for a tight fit in a pocket. The Motorola i670 has sleek lines and it takes its overall shape from the previous Motorola i850. Though the phone isn't protected by layers of rubber coating like other phones from the carrier, it will enjoy a solid construction.

One drawback of the i670 is that it doesn't have an external display. As a result, you've got to open the phone to see a caller's identity and to check the battery life. The other exterior features are reminiscent of previous phones from the carrier. The left spine holds a covered headset jack, a volume rocker, and a control for making push-to-talk (PTT) calls over Nextel's Direct Connect network. On the top of the phone are a speakerphone control and a key for sending calls directly to voice mail without answering. Beside them is the stubby extendible antenna, while the covered charger port is on bottom of the phone. Finally, the speaker is in its usual place on bottom of the rear flap.

Unfortunately the Motorola i670's internal display is a partial step back in Nextel's screen evolution. While the carrier's newer phones support 262,000-color displays, the Motorola i670 display shows solely 65,000 colors. You can change the backlighting, time, and font size, but the screen is not particularly vibrant or sharp. Also, we miss the additional enticing and intuitive menu structure we saw on the Motorola i870. On the top, however, the Motorola i670's navigation array is spacious and user-friendly. The rubberized covering also makes them quite tactile. A four-way toggle doubles as a shortcut to four user-defined functions. Inside the toggle center is an OK button surrounded by dedicated power and menu buttons and the Talk and End keys. There are also 2 soft keys that double as programmable shortcuts. The backlit keypad buttons are large and widely spaced. You can get this phone at CellularCountry.com for a very affordable price or you can also check out some more great deals on used cell phones.
