InfoSync has reviewed the Motorola i880 cell phone and here’s the bottom line - “With the i880, Motorola has managed to create a feature-packed Nextel phone that doesn’t look like a Humvee. Nextel fans who have been craving a music player and higher resolution camera will be pleased with the i880, but we were disappointed by the hissing calls that consistently chopped up our sentences (although push-to-talk calls sounded great). Messaging was better than we’ve seen on many Nextel phones, and the rugged keys were comfortable to use. As a music player, the i880 has two sets of the loudest stereo speakers we’ve heard on a phone, but that doesn’t excuse the lack of included headphones.”

CNET has reviewed the Motorola i880 cell phone and here’s the bottom line - “Occasionally there was a slight background hiss but it wasn’t enough to make us displeased with call quality. Callers reported similar conditions but said they could hear us loud and clear. On the reception side we had no trouble getting a signal and experienced little interference from other electronic devices. Speakerphone calls were up to par as well with very loud volume, and we had no issues when we made calls with a Bluetooth headset. Music quality wasn’t exceptional by any means but the stereo speakers are a great touch. Music sounded a tad better over headphones than the external speakers, but the volume was quite loud either way. And for either method,our tracks sounded fine for short stints.”
