Sprint has added another rugged and ugly (rugly?) device in its iDEN portfolio. It’s the clamshell-shaped Motorola Brute i680, which (again) meets Military Specification 810F for dust, shock, vibration, low temperature, high temperature, low pressure, solar radiation, salt fog, humidity and blowing rain.
In addition, there’s a (naturally) push-to-talk support, 2-megapixel camera with flash, GPS, Bluetooth, two screens (internal and external), music player and large battery for extended talk time.
As for the pricing, the Brute could be yours for $119.99 with a Nextel Direct Connect calling plan…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
