Youtube works good when you are using wi-fi feature, but won’t work on Nextel network. Got mine to Geocache with and love it.

THE BLACKBERRY PHONE IS THE BEST PHONE SO FAR THAT NEXTEL HAS EVER HAD…….BUT WHEN MY TWO YEAR CONTRACT ENDS 1N 2011 NEXTEL BETTER HAVE A TOUCH SCREEN PHONE OR I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO GET THE i PHONE AND THATS A CHOICE I DON’T REALLY WANT TO MAKE.

[...] bag, you can nab the info on the Javelin and Thunder in text format. There’s also info on the Nextel BlackBerry 8350i, and a seemingly untrue rumor about the BlackBerry Bold on the Orange network in the [...]

A week ago, I went to Sprint and got the Blackberry 8330. Sprint’s 3G network is blazingly fast. Then I saw a colleague with a Blackberry 8350i, so I went back to Sprint and exchanged the 8330 for the 8350i—since my job requires me to also have a walkie-talkie.
The Sprint salesperson did point out that the 8350i runs on the Nextel radio network, but failed to make it clear that Nextel’s network is slow and nowhere near Sprint’s 3G network. The store only had two 8350i’s and I was lucky enough to get one before they were put out as display models.
Now I’m stuck with the 8350i (since Sprint would only allow one return/exchange within 30 days of purchase) which takes 2, 3 or 4 times longer than the 8330 to open a website. Watching Youtube.com is a joke as Nextel’s network is rather slow.
If you love to surf the ‘net, don’t get the 8350i and stick with Sprint’s 8330 or other 8000 models running on the 3G network. But if you use the walkie-talkie more than you surf the ‘net, then get the 8350i.
I know I cannot have everything in one phone such as the 8350i. But considering that I have to now carry only one phone instead of three (and capable of using a 16gig MicroSD compared to the 8330’s 2 gig capacity) —more than outweighs the shortcomings of the 8350i running on Nextel’s network.
Overall, I’m still happy with the 8350i. I only wished that Nextel runs on the 3G network.

Phone coverage is no better than my curve was. I carried an I580 and a curve and wanted to transfer my contacts to the new unit. Sprint store took an hour out of my day ( it’s usually a lot more time when I go in there ) to tell me they couldn’t figure it out. Other than that I really like the phone or at least the idea of it. Oh yeah, I have the texting problem too.

I’ve always had text message issues with my Nextel Blackberry (7100i). Similar to what you’re all saying…receiving texts an hour or day later. It’s terrible. I’d be surprised if they fixed it right away if at all. If it weren’t for work I’d be on the iPhone band wagon, that phone is sweeeet.
