Motorola ic902 Deluxe Review
iDEN and CDMA merge
The Deluxe does what it sets out to do fairly well: introduce iDEN users to the power of Sprint’s CDMA network. The phone has a full feature set and for iDEN customers the device is smaller than what they are used to. The build quality is excellent, and while the menu lag can be frustrating, the UI is a large upgrade from iDEN phones and relatively stable compared with its Motorola CDMA counterparts like the V9m. When taken in context the Deluxe is a success and we highly recommend it to iDEN power users and tech lovers who just have to have their walkie-talkie.

ok guys i use to have the ic502 i swaped it 8 times in one year i fought and argued with sprint and all they would do is make me pay for a new phone or give me anoter 502. I got a real nice sprint guy and he said dude you have insuarence on ur phone call ur incuranse company. he notated my account the he would wave the 50 dollar deductuble on both of my phones my brother had a 502 but i just got it for him and we hasent even had trouble with his yet awsome. he also said the insurance company the i have insureon dose not match u with a phone by how much u paid for it but by the futuares of . Verizon and everyone els matches by price. You buy a $20 phone you get a $20 phone. So i call them the supervizor had to approve it he was so nice and understood my frustration he said well the ic902 is the only phone u can go to we have to give u the same phone or one better u can gain features cant lose them. wich was awsome because when i bouught my 502s i payed $126 for them but really wanted the 902 just didnt wanna spend the money they r not cheap. So he sent me 2 ic902 free of charge brand new no refurbished all i had to do is send my phones back. He said it might take 3-7 bisunes days to get them. they where thire next day AWSOME. excited i opend them up they where the S****. verizon and everone els u have to buy the accessories for the phone NO ic902 comes with everthing Phone, Head phones, memory card, and belt clip all incuded awsom. called sprint activated them and just like the guy said wavied both 50 dollar fees. SWEET Also guys purches the insursnce its worth it sprint is the best company out thire i have ben screwed by all the others. customer service is awsome the allways fix my problems if they cant they tell me wat to do to get it fixed, Sprint will give u a new phone if u r ahaving manufacture problems go to ur dealer or spront . Also the phone has cache files so once a month take the battery out for 30 sec and put it back and phone wont be slow.

2. 5 ic902's in 7 months

This would be a great phone if it didn't malfunction so much. I brought the phone in Feb of 2008, since then I've had two new ones and three refurbished phones. This was suppose to be my upgrade phone with Sprint but it has now become a downgrade. I can't make any settings in the phone cause as soon as I do it malfunctions. Now the refurbished phone that I got from Sprint has a problem with it and I've only had it for two weeks. This is by far the worst phone I've ever had. I have a $20 phone that I've brought for my daughter and I have not had any issues with it. If dealing with the poor battery life wasn't enough I had to find out the hard way that the phone is a $400 pieceof junk. What a waste of hard worked money. I contacted Motorola and I would have to be without my phone for a week or more in order for them to fix it or replace it. Sorry, but this is my only phone I do not have a house phone because I'm hardly home in the day. This phone is an inconvenience and a waste of time to have this phone.

this phone is very nice, has great features and sounds great on the other hand....i ordered this phone march of 08' within two weeks the screen would not come on so i got the phone swaped, within two weeks of that the phone died again, all it would do is restart, got the phone swaped again, two weeks later i had issues with sprint navigation called sprint, sprint told me to delete it and re-download it and re-install it...guess what they were WRONG!!!!! not i have been fighting to get my money back and they won't give it to me, got hung up on because i raised my voice got disconnected four times from being on hold, and just today i find out i can't get my money back because it's been more than thirty days, before i went to the ic902 i had the i870 beautiful phone...now that sprint bought nextel out everything has gone to shit....i am so mad right now i am thinking of filing a law suite...what would you do?

6. Good phone bad service

I have been using this phone for almost 6 months. while it packs quite a punch for a Nextel, the signal loss on this sucker in my neck of the woods is terrible on the Nextel side. The Sprint portion for cell service works very well, however this Nextel side of it continues to loose connection on a regular basis. The menus are some what confusing and takes some time getting used to. The sound quality on this phone is GREAT, no problem hearing this phone...
Overall, this is a good phone if you are looking for a model that contains the best of both the Sprint and Nextel Worlds.

And has it an auto focus in camera?

9. Good Phone

Out of all the walkie-talkie phones available today, this is no doubt the best one. Over the past year, I have used 8 different phones including the i265, i850, i580, i860, i870, i930, i880, and finally now the ic902. Just having the sprint call service made this phone worth having. Although I view it as the best Nextel phone, it still has its downfall. 1. The battery life is awful. I have to keep a charger at work, at home, and in the car to keep this bad boy running. 2. I believe that most people would agree that the design of the i880 surpasses that of the ic902. Simply put, the phone looks kinda dull. Those are the two main downsides. Here are the two positives: 1. Extremely fast text messaging compared to that of any i-den phone and much faster internet. 2. Easy operating system. Just my opinion though. To each his own.

10. Motorola ic902

The phone has really good features and I like the design. The worst downfall is that you can be next to a Nextel tower and the phone show no walkie talkie, Nextel coverage. I upgraded from an ic502 to the ic902 but after a week I had enough and went back to the ic502. Hopefully Motorola will address this problem and resolve it.
