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.

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.
