Nextel 8350I Curve

My Review

I have had my 8350i for about a week now.  I figured everyone would want an unbiased review of the phone.

The phone works nice with a Bluetooth headset.  Holding this phone to your ear is kinda like holding a brick to your head.  The holster that they give with the phone is a bit on the cheap side due to the fact that the phones can still come out of it.  You would think they would package a rugged type case for it with what they charge.  No way to watch tv unless you have found a few of the select sites that are out there that still have FREE streaming feeds available.  I haven’t tried the unit with ORB yet, but I will.  Syncing the unit to my home computer was effortless.  Configuring email was just as easy.  As long as I don’t have Outlook open on the desktop I get a email on the Blackberry that I can read, and delete.  You have two options at time of delete.  Delete from handset only, or delete from handset, and mailbox.

Finding misc. wallpapers, and ringtones is no problem.  I will put a directory up for those that need some ringtones, wallpapers, etc.

Being that I was paying @$80 for service on my IC902, they easily convinced me to switch to the Simply Everything Plan for $99.  I won’t have any extra charges now.

What I don’t like about the phone.

Keyboard is a bit smaller than most Blackberry units that are on the market.

The trackball is a bit touchy at times.

Not many themes are available at this point in time.

Sometimes have to pull the battery to “Kick Start” the unit.

Eye Cream – Information Found

My sister-in-law, and my wife had been looking for some eye cream for some time, so they went about searching the WWW.  After some endless efforts the 2 ran into Eyecream.Org.  They ordered one of the products that were shown on the site.  This site explained about the effects of some creams, and about ingredients commonly used in creams.  The company offers links to a selection of facial, and eye cream that are supposed to target every bit of the face.

After she used 1 of them for about 1 month they told me that they seemed to have made a difference.  The creams that they made choices between were: Dermavexin, Prevera, and Renuvie.  They went for Prevera, as they were looking for something that would help with the “Aging” situation.  Both told me that this product worked better than any other product that was tried in the past.

A 45 day money back guarantee is offered with each of their products, but neither feel they will need to cross that.  Looking at them I can see some small changes, but only time will tell.

Nextel Customer Service

I have been fighting with Nextel / Sprint for a while regarding my IC902 Hybrid phone.  The phone was great in the beginning, but I have been having more, and more problems with it.  Between the “white screen” of death, vapor locking, and a few more things, I had enough.

I called account services, and discussed my entire situation, which stems back @ 1 year, when they insisted I would be happier with this phone.  I originally had the I860 Pocket PC phone.  That phone was the bomb.
