It was back in May when we first spotted at that point still unannounced Motorola i897 Amphora clamshell and now it’s here. Actually, it’s in parts of Latin America where NII Holdings launched the phone under the name Motorola i897 Ferrari Special Edition — Mexico and Brazil are the first markets to get this Ferrari-branded device with Argentina launch set for October of this year.
Specs wise, we’re talking about an iDEN-based device which obviously enables push-to-talk capability. Moreover, there are two screens (2.2-inch QVGA internal and 1.8-inch 128×160 external), 2-megapixel camera with digital zoom, media player with dedicated music/video playback keys, Bluetooth and a microSD memory card slot. Of course, tons of Ferrari branded content is pre-loaded with the i897, including skins and themes, wallpapers, video clips, ringtones as well as the Ferrari GT: Evolution game by Gameloft.
The Motorola i897 Ferrari Special Edition is available in two colors – red and yellow, and you can get more information (price included) from Nextel Mexico and Nextel Brazil…
