Requires data plan
If you want to upgrade to this phone, you must purchase a data plan. This does not make any sense, the i886 is not a smart phone, therefore why does it need a data plan? If I were to have the data package, I would certainly not be purchasing the i886 due to limited funtionality!
Nextel Customer Service is not helpful at all in this matter. They agreed it is not a smart phone, but indicated your phone plan has to have the data package otherwise you are not allowed to upgrade to the i886 unless you add the data plan.
What a joke!

We were able to activate one at my store for a customer that was on the $30 200 minute plan the other day. Also if you look online it shows multiple plans that you can activate new service on this phone too.

Wow you are a smart one. You dont have to activate it on a data plan. You can put it on the basic 200, talk 450, everything messgaing 450, or the data 450, as long as it is a new plan you can actiavte it. So no more free incoming or fair and flexable ...

operating system
Is this phone running Android 1.5? The operating system seems to be similar to the I1 without the market access.
I was thinking the same thing. But then again, no high speed data, on the cellular side.

It is running a special fork of the Android OS.
HOWEVER, it is not an Android platform phone. It is not compatible with any third-party Android software. It is not a smartphone.
It runs only J2ME third-party software, just like any featur...

Battery Life/SB time
Talk: 4.1 hours max. (245 minutes)
Standby: 120 hours max. (5 days)
R they serious? This phone is a msg device and should have amazing Talk/SB time.
These numbers make you feel like it's 1998 and the only droid you knew were the ones on SW.
