Motorola i315
Good phone, if you just need a phone
This is a great phone if you want something that will last a long time, and you just need a phone without all the bells and whistles. It is a large and heavy phone even for Nextel, but the average person will find it comfortable to hold when talking on it. Voice quality is good, and I find reception to be above average. Direct Talk is an interesting feature, but the vast majority of users will probably find it unnecessary. So if you want a great phone, go with the i315. If you want a new toy to play with, you won't be happy with it.
i315 Good Sturdy Phone
I've had this phone for about 2 months and Im really impressed with it. I previously owned an i730 and the i315 gets WAY better reception than my old i730. The battery life is good too. The only thing I dont like about this phone is that it feels too bulky in my pocket. I had the holster for it but it broke. I reccomend this phone for anyone who does construction working or carpentry or anything along those lines. I'm looking foward to getting my new i860 for Christmas, but I will still keep my i315 just in case.
