Does anyone own (and use) one of these phones? If so, what are the pros and cons since you've acquired it?

Thanks for your input!

P.S. I ask because I am thinking of purchasing one from Nextel.

I have a BlackBerry 7290 on Cingular. It's great. Don't know much about the Nextel version, although I've read that the battery life isn't very good. Nextel's iDen phones are known for having less battery life than their cousins with newer digital technology (CDMA, GSM).

Nextel's website has the following info. regarding battery life:

OEM Standard Lithium Ion Battery 900 mAH
~152 minutes talk time
~ 69 hrs. standby

Talk time is one thing, but how long will the battery last running programs such as: web browsing, typing documents, etc.?
