Using Wireless Messaging Features

Text Messaging (SMS)

You can send and recieve text messages only in GSM mode. While using the Nextel iDEN digital network, you can only recieve text messages.

In GSM mode, you can send and receive text messages up to 160 characters in size. While using the iDEN network, you can recieve messages up to 500 characters long.

The advantages of text messaging include the following:

•Text messages are sent instantly.

•Text messages can be sent or received at any time, except during a data call, Walkie- Talkie call, or Talkgroup call.

•Most mobile phones support text messages, so most recipients can read text messages that you send.

Note: You cannot synchronize text messages with your desktop computer, and you cannot use text messages to send or receive attachments or voice notes.

Media Messaging (MMS)

Media messages are composed of 1 or more pages, and each page can contain up to 1 picture, text region, and sound. Thus, when the recipient opens your media message, the experience is similar to watching a simple slideshow. The recipient must download the message before viewing it.

You can create media messages of up to 100 KB in size, including pictures and sound files.

The advantages of media messages include the following:

•After the message has been downloaded, media messages essentially “play” the picture or sound you attach to the message, so the recipient does not have to download each attached file.

•Media messages can be sent or received any time your Smartphone is turned on and not in a voice or data call.

Instant Messaging

You can use MSN® Messenger on the Smartphone to send and receive instant messages. MSN Messenger on the Smartphone provides the same chat environment as MSN Messenger on your desktop computer. For example, you can chat with a single MSN Messenger contact, or with several contacts at once. You can switch between active chats, block contacts, and configure display settings, such as your name and current status (Away, Online, and so on).

An external QWERTY mini-keyboard for easy text entry can be purchased at sprint.com or by calling call 1-800-NEXTEL6.

For information on setting up the Smartphone for instant messaging, see “Sending and Receiving Instant Messages” on page 72.

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.
