It is said that Motorola will keep supporting Sprint/Nextel’s iDEN network for the time being. The handset maker is the only company with an iDEN-based Android smartphone – i1, and now they’re out with another similar product.
Like many of Nextel Direct-compatible handsets, the “we knew it’s coming” Motorola i886 is a rugged device that meets military 810G requirements for dust, shock, vibration, low and high temperature, low pressure and solar radiation. However, it’s also an Android smartphone that packs both a regular numeric keypad and side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. In addition, the i886 comes with a somewhat small 2.2-inch QVGA display, 2-megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth, 1380mAh battery and a microSD memory card slot. Nextel Direct Connect features are also on board, group messaging included. Size wise, we’re talking about a phone that measures 116.3×51.1×18.5 mm and has a weight of 141.2 grams…
The Motorola i886 is available for $79.99 after $50 rebate and with a two-year contract.

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.
