Motorola i930 Review

Motorola i930Laptop Magazine reviews the i930 from Motorola, and ends up giving it a four out of a possible five which I find odd, as they don’t really seem to like many of the quirks and features of the phone.

With its chunky, Darth Vader looks, the Motorola i930 doesn’t exactly have mass appeal written all over it.

That’s fine, because its mix of features is designed for a very unique customer: those looking for a smart phone that delivers rapid-fire push-to-talk (PTT) communications in the Western hemisphere and GSM connectivity when traveling abroad.

At a list price of $499, the i930 is expensive compared to other Nextel phones, and $100 more expensive than keyboard-equipped smart phones such as the Treo 650.

Nextel walkie-talkie service is still the best around in terms of connection speed and the number of users you can PTT with, so whether the i930 is a good choice comes down to whether PTT is something you use on a daily basis.

After that, it’s a matter of whether you need Windows Mobile and global roaming.
