Nextel has launched the widely anticipated Motorola i860. This is the first iDEN handset with a digital camera. Main features of the handset include:
* Main display: 176x220 pixel 262,000 color TFT
* Sub display: 95 x 65 pixel 4,096-color
* VGA resolution camera with flash and video clips up to 10-seconds
* MMS
* Voice dialing
* Java
* Easy open push-button flip mechanism
Battery life is often an issue on iDEN phones, and the i860 is no different--advertised standby time is 65 hours while talktime is just 2.75 hours.
Expect to pay $299.99 for the Motorola i860 after a $50 mail-in rebate. A 2-year activation is needed.
