My brother is going to Mazatlan for 6 months, and we bought 2 Nextels with the International Walkie Talkie, but I am getting conflicting information from Nextel if the Walkie Talkie will work in Mazatlan... (I don't care if the phone part works, just the walkie) Thanks!

I have nextel and actually it should work in mexico since they have service there including walkie talkie. I like my walkie talk and plus it's free conversation. but since you already got the international service on it it should definately work. it worked when my bro was in venezuala and i didn't even change my plan to international he did his though. so try it. and call nextel and they should explain it well to you!!
i know when i go to europe it will work there i already found out cuz i'm heading there.

Do you mean; to talk back to the US with the W/T portion or just around Mazatlan? W/I the general area it should work, I doubt if it will act as a Sat. phone, but don't really know.

No. Nextel used the funky iDEN protocol that is unique to them.
