    Best Direct Talk Phone

    So what do you guys think? Which is the best model for Direct Talk? What is the best overall Nextel phone? Thanks.

    i355 and i365 are both good phones for direct talk. Candy bar style phones usually have better rf than flip phones.

    Best Direct Talk Phone

    I recall a few years back the discussion about this and the i325s had the best reputation because of the fixed antenna. However, I had the cousins, the i315, and the Push To Talk switch would stick on one of mine. Further research seemed to indicate that this was a common failure point on the i315/i325s. Fast forward to now and I agree that either the i355 or i365 with a fixed antenna would be the best for Direct Talk. With the shutdown of Nextel iDen service, I would think that they might practically give these away!

    Coincidentally, I have been considering getting another unit for Direct Talk myself. I have a pair of i580s and a pair of i670s. I think one of them is no longer working properly, so I may just get a replacement.

    Best Direct Talk Phone

    For some reason I can't seem to edit right now, anyway it looks like after SouthernLINC the other US iDEN users are a comparatively small number. I have actually also considered a used Motorola Titanium because of the Android functionality. It, too, has Direct Talk, but I suspect the range would be less than an i365 with a fixed antenna.
