To help you get started, we have added Nextel’s Wireless Web to provide you access to news, weather, traffic, sports and entertainment information. With content providers such as Google, CNN, ESPN and more, you can stay in touch, informed and in control, all from your Nextel phone.

With Pocket Internet Explorer, the Favorites list is displayed as the main screen instead of a home page, so you can easily go to your favorite Web sites. In addition to Nextel Wireless Web links, you can add your own favorites to this list for Web sites you frequently visit. You can view your Favorites list from any Web page by selecting Favorites.

Using Pocket Internet Explorer, you can also browse the World Wide Web on your Smartphone. While you are surfing the World Wide Web, realize some sites may not display properly with Pocket Internet Explorer. Nextel Wireless Web sites have been selected to provide you with an optimal surfing experience.

Pocket Internet Explorer on your Smartphone supports HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), cHTML (compact Hypertext Markup Language), xHTML (Extensible HTML) and WAP (Wireless Application Protocol). It also supports Jscript, ActiveX controls, and CSS (cascading style sheets). The browser supports images and sounds, but it does not support frames on a Web page.

I920, I930 specifications

Nextel Communications, once a major player in the wireless telecom industry, introduced a range of innovative devices that catered to the needs of both personal and business users. Among them, the Nextel i930 and i920 stand out as significant models that combined features of traditional mobile phones with push-to-talk (PTT) capabilities.

The Nextel i930 was released as a flip phone, boasting a sleek design that appealed to style-conscious consumers. One of its standout features was the integrated PTT functionality, allowing users to connect instantly with others on their network. This feature was particularly popular among business users who valued quick communication over traditional voice calls. The i930 supported a wide range of Nextel services, including Direct Connect, which enabled users to reach others with just a push of a button, making it an invaluable tool for teams on the move.

On the other hand, the Nextel i920 catered to a similar demographic but in a slightly different form factor. This model featured a candy-bar design, providing a more compact option for those who preferred a straightforward layout. Both devices were equipped with a robust set of features, including a color display, camera capabilities, and various multimedia functions. The i920 also supported messaging services, allowing users to send and receive text messages, thus enhancing its versatility.

In terms of technology, both phones operated on the iDEN network, known for its reliability and extensive coverage at the time. The iDEN technology blended digital voice and data, allowing for seamless communication and efficient use of bandwidth. Users could enjoy enhanced voice clarity and an unparalleled connection quality, making it a preferred choice for those in remote areas.

Battery life was another critical characteristic of both models. The i930 and i920 were designed to provide long-lasting power, enabling users to stay connected throughout their busy days without frequent recharging. Additionally, these devices featured rugged designs suitable for various work environments, aligning with Nextel's image as a provider for professionals in demanding fields.

In summary, the Nextel i930 and i920 encapsulated the essence of Nextel's commitment to blending functionality with style. Their PTT capabilities revolutionized communication methods for many, while their durable designs and robust feature sets solidified their status as essential tools for professionals. Even today, these devices serve as reminders of a time when instantaneous communication was becoming increasingly vital in both personal and professional spheres.
