One model that is offered byNextel prepaid is the Motorola I850. This model has Nextel’s Direct Connect Walkie-Talkie Service as well as its Group Connect. It also has a push-to-send feature that can send “Contacts” or “My Info” to co-workers or friends. It has a 2.2 screen that displays over 65,000 colors as well as a VGA-quality camera that enables you to take clearer pictures than you can with some other models. It has a high quality built-in speakerphone and the ability to record voice-memo reminders. This model also allows you to send text messages as well as pictures to friends and family. This phone would be ideal for the person who needs a little organization.

The Motorola Buzz IC602 cellular phone is also available from Nextel. This model is compatible only with Nextel Power Source Plans and has Nextel Direct Connect, Group Connect, Direct Talk, and Push-to-send Walkie-talkie Services. This phone also has a VGA-quality camera and a display that shows over 65,000 colors. An additional feature that it has is GPS Location Services that include Telenav Audible Driving Directions. This phone would be a good choice for businessmen who do a lot of traveling.
Nextel Direct Connect/walkie-talkie service is a digital two-way radio built into every Nextel phone.
I guess this is why Nextel will claim that any other unlocked phone will not work on their network. But this is not so.

The a360 will work the only thing is that the direct connect feature will not work at all as it would not have been installed on your phone. All you should have to do is to change the SIM and the phone should lock unto their network (providing that the phone is unlocked to another network).

However my advice to you is that if you really want to join the Nextel network then you should buy a phone from them as it stands right now; you tend to save a lot more on calls using their copyrighted feature called direct connect.

But the bottom line is that it is your choice as to what you want to do because the phone will work once the SIM is switched but the direct connect feature will not work at all because the software/hardware isn’t installed on your phone.
Another cellular phone that is offered by Nextel is the Motorola I335 phone. This variety also has the Nextel Di rect Connect Walkie-talkie Services and a vivid color display. It can send and receive text messages as well as download games that you can play. This phone has a voice-activated dialing system and a built-in speakerphone. It has the capabilities to customize Real Music Ringtones and has access to various wallpaper designs. You can also record up to twenty voice reminders which is a useful feature if you are a businessman or college student.
