Nextel has always done well with business users, but now the company has set its sights on a different market: the NASCAR fan.
The 11 phones in Nextel's NASCAR series are based on the design of the Nextel i730.
The NASCAR Cup Nextel i736 comes with a 600-name phone book that has room for up to seven numbers for each contact.
We tested the single-band (iDEN 800MHz) NASCAR Cup Nextel i736 in New York City using Nextel's service and had no problem getting a clear signal from locations throughout Manhattan.
